Pre set plan for TODAY

What i am decided to do before the show is a plan to make sure all the props and clothing are all in the right place.  I need to plot where to put everything to make sure i prepared for the show.

• FIRST PLACE PROPS
• SECOND OUTFIT I CHANGE INTO ( CHAIR DANCE SCENE BEHIND LIFT JUMPSUIT&GLASSES). 
• AMY WILL BRING SECOND OUTFIT DOWN STAIRS FOR BINGO SCENE.
• PLACE WHITE DRESS IN CORNER FOR THE HERO DANCE 
• BLACK LEGGINGS AND WHITE TOP WITH THE WHITE DRESS 
• PLACE DEVIL HORNS AND DEVIL DRESS BEHIND MY CHAIR.
• PING-PONG BALLS ON TABLE 
• FLIP FLOPS AND EARRINGS ON LEFT SIDE OF STAGE / LEGGINGS
• MAKE SURE I SET UP BINGO SCENE PLACE CHAIRS AND CURTAIN 

Costume plan

Choosing the costume was really hard because, i really needed to understand my character and understand the scene they were coming into. I had chose very different costume ideas and none had fitted the part. 

BINGO LADY: 

What i wanted to create for the bingo lady was a  young girl who was hungover from the night before and she is sick of this job. And she dosent really care yet she loves standing out by her clothes. 

so i picked a colourful jumpsuit to stand out and show that she did have the clothes on from the night before. Flip flops to show that this is a hotel and people where flip flops on holiday. Also picked sunglasses to show she is hungover. 

BEATRICE 

She was more a posh lady well she trys and acts posh. She gets embarrassed when people says and reminds her she is a lesbian. So i wanted to look posh with glasses and a posh coat that i take off for someone else to carry. I decided to wear a royal blue dress and black high boots to show blue is a royal colour. 

Timetable of what we did this whole week -

MONDAY:   What we planned to do on monday was run through the bingo scene because, we all didn't know what we were doing. Also went over the singing ques. We need to make sure we know when the singing starts and what key lines.

I need to make sure i make my bingo lady more clear of what character i am . And when i go into this other world when singing i need to be a little bit crazier. 

We also wrote a list of what props we need and who is going to get what props. Also discussed what costumes and we looked in the costume cupboard. 

What were going to do next lesson is to go over the last scene. Which we have planned Nicole will be writing up. 

Tuesday: 

We had a double lesson on Tuesday and stayed till lunch time.  What we went over was how the piece was going to end from the bedroom scene leading up to where we would end the scene. We were very confused on how to make the ending scene and how to change claudio takes heros place.  So what we decided to do was carry on and take the audience back to the start and instead claudio jumps from the stairs. 
Now we had the last scene blocked and plotted out. We went through a whole run through.

Next lesson we planned to do a whole run through and then we are presenting to the teachers and class in costume and props.


Weds: 

Came into lesson and what we decided to do first was to make sure all of our costumes were okay for the run and we knew what we wanted our character to look like. We had a run at 3pm with costume and props.It was very hard for choosing my Beatrice character ! i was very unsure of how to dress. So we went through a walk of our whole show. Then we showed the teachers.
WE HAD SOME IMPORTANT NOTES TO TAKE ON FOR THE PERFORMANCE!!

• Needed to make sure we make clear of our character and not to over do it because, we didnt need to do that because are characters were prefect. 
• Also we needed to make sure we actually listen to each other instead of just waiting for our ques. 
• To make sure we don't try and make the piece funny when its already funny.
• Clear of the characters costume. 
• Needed to go over the BINGO SCENE( WAS A BIT WASHY) 
• MAKE SURE I CALL THE BINGO NUMBERS PROPERLY

Next lesson i felt i needed to make sure i had a clearer image of what my characters costume should be. 

OUR MAIN ISSUE I FEEL ON THE PERFORMANCE ON WEDS...was because, it was our first time with costume and it completely changed everything. Even when adding costume it can effect the whole show and the timing. I feel we lacked on actually how much time we would have to change and come into the next scene. 

Thursday: 

We decided that for the whole lesson we needed to make sure we are clear on our lines and what we are doing for the bingo scene.  Also how quick and the amount of time we have to take our costume off in that scene.  We needed to make sure our translation were tighter moving the audience around each space.  

Once we were clear of what we were doing for the BINGO scene and went over the singing to make sure we knew what we were doing. Also when bringing and taking me back on a chair and getting changed. We were all confident and felt we knew what scene came after what scene. Also we were all clear on our lines. 

Friday: 

I was ill this lesson but what the group did was, plan and blocked out what character is going to be where and at what time. This really helped because, we were all confused at what times where should we be and how long it would take us to get ready. And who was in what scene next and where we had to go. 

Saturday -TEC RUN 

Honestly with the tec run i felt we could of been more organised as a group. We had done really well building up to the performance however, we didn't bring all of the props in for the tec run. Which props can make a completely different performance and props are really hard work to work with.  Our group had planned already what lights and what que music changes we wanted already we had written them in a script.

The tec run could of gone better. Also the bingo scene slowed us down and we knew we had to work on that so we planned to come in at 8:40 on monday to go over the scene. 

FACEBOOK- OUR GROUP

Our group is very good at communicating with each other and we know what we need to get done . We all  put our work in and make sure we do the best we can. We make sure we can stay on track and we get it done. Whats also good is our group likes targets and to know when everything has to be done by. We are all so passionate about the piece and we really want to make this work.

But even when we are not at college we are making sure we are still talking on the internet and making sure we are up to date with everything.

Run of the whole show to the class/ Filling BECCA IN

What we wanted to do in the double lesson to unfold each scene and see what we need to do. We hadn't really done the piece in different places of the college. So by us running through the whole thing it gave us a clear mind on what to do. 

SCENE BREAKDOWN: 

1. BRING AUDIENCE IN ( NICOLE)
2.CHECK
3. PAUSE THEN WATCH SUICIDE Scene
4. Break to arguing then the coach scene
5. B AND B ARGUING 
6. CATEEN SCENE.
7. BEDROOM 1 SCENE
8. BINGO
9.BEDROOM
10 . ( END) SUICIDE

We managed to show everything today and we really do need to work on how we are bringing the audience to each scene.  Where they need to be to  see everything.  It went really well today the run through and we got feedback to make sure what we want to prorate to them and make sure what we did was clear. 



NEXT LESSON: 
1. Me and amy because, we do production arts we are going to go over lights and what we can use with the piece and what we can use through out the scene.
2. We also need to print posters off that we can put through out the HOTEL.
3. Transactions (MOVING FROM SCENES).


From doing a full run through to the class i feel really confident that we are ready for this performance and ready to show what we have got. I am really proud of our work and happy we have all worked together and directed one scene each to make sure we put all of our ideas together. Also by working as a team we have got on a lot quicker. 

We have set goals to make sure all lines are learnt by weds.  And all props need to be by friday and costume we need to order on tuesday.
