Its tech day and my show is finally coming together. All of the sections have been linked together through the used of music, which I will be testing out today. I have also come up with an easy lighting plan, ensuring that the stage looks dressed and fitting with the theme. I have decided to start with a spot light on a chair, meaning that automatically the audiences attention is drawn and held at myself. The lights then fade up to a soft pink, where they stay for the majority of the time, and finally reverting back to the spot at the end.
I have chosen this simple set up to not detract from the action of the performance, and keeping with the simple set and costuming. Furthermore I also thought it was a nice touch to go back to the the original lighting state at the end, being bel to show a full circle, and rounded progression of the piece.
This time was also used for me to mp out my setting arrangement, something which has changed from week to week. Now, due to the amount of people coming to watch it makes sense to put chairs in three rows, all equally facing the stage area.
We then tried the voice recordings I had made, taking stimulus from the poem seen earlier in this blog. Only the first section was used, but it incorporated a overlapping effect of different voices. This is significant of the ‘voices in your head’. Society telling you what you should and should not do, and dress. all together, it sounded powerful, and intentions were clear. I only hope that the audience understand that i have used the voice over for this specific effect.
