One day before the show....
Our piece has became very powerful and the message we want to portray is very clear. We have sorted our music out and it is so effective and flows with our piece, it really makes a difference and creates an ambiance which we did not have before. The song is the same throughout and it does not have a strong beat, so we play it throughout our piece in the background and it creates an intense vibe and I feel it draws attention in further from the audience.
We also went leaf picking today and decorated our room and I think it looks amazing, it gives an abandoned and mystical feel to our room. And the way the room smells now it smells old and strange which is what we were going for and the way the leaves crunch beneath our feet when we walk over them at the end of our piece creates an effective feeling and it is quite eerie too.
We all know our lines perfectly now which allows us to really put 100% into our piece and I feel the emotions are so strong in this piece and the way it feels like we are sharing our thoughts and feelings with the audience.
The movement in our piece has become a lot better and the movements have emotion and meaning to them, as our teacher helped us with today, particularly max and jades movement whilst I am saying my monologue.
The main points our teacher feels we need work on are:
- Changing the tempo of mine and jades back to back struggling movement
- For me to give off the impression that I am sharing my monologue with the audience, I am letting them in on secrets I have not told anyone before, in order to make the audience feel more involved and for me to engage more with the audience
- slow down everything we are doing and do not rush anything
- Max to inflect some words in his opening monologue, "racists" for example should be inflected more
- jade to be louder in her monologue
Good. I witnessed your ability to take on notes given in rehearsal
