In this double lesson, Harry and I recorded some sounds and voice recordings for manly Harrys piece. This, as technical stuff usually does, took around 25mins to just get the microphone to work properly! Everything took a lot longer than I thought. I then went to mix all the recordings together but the files were not working with the program. I decided to try at home, and again- nothings working, I am looking for different sound mixing website e.g audacity and mixxx but nothing is working together for example our school laptops are Microsoft (windows 8) and I have a mac at home so the two softwares don't compute with each other. This is extremely frustrating and Im getting pretty nervous as we are doing a full rehearsal soon and I just can't get it too work.      

Chloe and Meera created the 3D plane for Harrys piece:


We also started blacking out the room.

This hour we spent figuring out the lights, how they worked and what they could do. We then incorporated these different settings into which piece it would fit with most, we tried out our Frantic piece with a blue background:


I would have liked it better if it wasn't a circle but these are the only lights we have available. The strobe lights worked much better with this piece as it looked very fragmented and broken, much like nightmares are like.

Meera brought in her face paint and we tried out things like scratches, bullet wounds (?chloe?) and blood stains that we are going to paint on our audience faces:
