Before today's we found out we would be missing Theo from our group until our performance day and we know this would have some major set backs for our group as we had a lot to do for the performance to be ready. So in the lesson as we were missing Tom as well we decided we would start by sorting out the rest of costume props and lighting which i had already started in my free time. I designed a table for our costume so it was easy to work out what everyone was wearing for each scene and which prop they would need if any. With our costume we wanted it to be easy to put on over our blacks and be different for each scene to show that you are a different character. Such as for the scenes where I play 2 different lady from the same ethnicity I wear 2 different head scarfs as this represents them as a individual character. This also help the audience to understand that we are not the same person through out. We then started looking at lighting by grabbing one of the lights and looking at the combination of colours. I had decided before that for suffragettes I wanted yellow, human trafficking red and refugees green. So we officially decided that we wanted:
opening: blue, green and red mix
soldiers: blue and amber mix
arranged marriage: red and blue mix
human trafficking; red
suffragettes: green, amber and red mix
refugees: green
scene changes- all colours (neural mix)
We then got the chance to put our performance into the space that we were performing into which allowed as to stretch everything so that it looked right in the space we had. This is because it is a lot larger then what we have got used to. We decided that we had to move something in closer and somethings further apart.
