Lighting, Props, costume and sound

In our double lesson me and Chloe used the time to create a plane made out of cardboard for Harry's nightmare while Emma and Harry worked on getting the sound recorded. We had already decided that we wanted the plane to be something that enclosed the audience to make them feel slightly claustrophobic, it also needed to be easy to move around. We started by using big pieces of cardboard to create wings and a tail. However the cardboard was hard to use as it was too heavy and didn't do the things we wanted it to. In the end we managed to make it work. We also decided to change the wings from being 2D to being 3D as we felt that it would be more enclosed that way. In the end we decided that it didn't need to be perfect as the idea of it not being perfect fitted more with Artauds style.

On Thursday we all worked on lighting and blacking out the windows so that the room would be darker. We played around with coloured lighting and talked about making certain parts in the piece different colours to create different atmospheres, eg. Having the red light flash on and off when the plane is going down in Harry's nightmare and having a blue light in Chloe's change to red to reflect the change in atmosphere. We also ran through out Frantic assembly with the blue light on, however in the real piece I think we're using strobe lights.

On Friday we continued blacking out the hall and working on our separate jobs. I brought in some face paint to practice doing the face paint in Chloe's dream. It was harder than I expected, however with some practice I think It will be okay. It was good to actually try it out in person.
