SHOW DAY

The show was very good in my opinion as it was full of energy and pace and you could tell that the whole class where not only happy to get going but excited throughout. The show seemed to keep the audience engaged and interested in what was happening and received a positive reaction afterwards. i was proud of the way my groups performed in our extracts as we flowed with each other an made it a much smoother experience in comparison to how it could have gone. At first i had my doubts on how the extract where going to tun out as I am no he biggest fan of Shakespeare, but after the month o work i have grown o appreciate its complexity and how interesting the language is, i think this helped my performance because i started to like my wok more an when i enjoy what i am doing my work quality in my opinion improves massively.
There were many aspects of the show that went well in my opinion for example the sound effect such as rain and lightning ran smoothly and acted as a vial part the show and how engaging it was. I liked the transition music for both halves of he play but i preferred the more modern music in the second half as it was more relevant to the audience and something they would prefer listening to. I understand the reason we have jazz music for the first half as it related to the gangsta theme which we are incorporating into he piece, i personally think we haven achieved making the gangsta aspect that clear as no one in the class in using an accent and the costumes do have nuances of the era but not enough to make it clear o a stage.  

Things did go wrong nearing the end of the show when a board got stuck on a curtain chain and this threw one of the scenes off but i don't think it was too disastrous as the scene went on as normal just not to the standard it could have been. A major problem which i came across was the blackouts in the storms as it became a hindrance to building the set, usually we fix the set with ease as there is external light coming though the doors. During the show all the curtains where closed so i couldn't see a thing and there was a massive possibility that the set wouldn't have been properly built and would have been left with no rostrum lids and danger hazards scattered around it. To fix his problem in the show on Thursday we are going to make the set a lo simpler to fix and this should eradicate any problems which we had in the past. Also during mine an Dan's scene in the Tempest there was a slight error when Dan interrupted my line with a very assertive "No" this didn't throw me off as Dan managed to work around his mistake with some fumbling over lines and we pulled it back effectively, his kept the scene going and allowed us o stay in character throughout.
