The Snow Queen performances went incredibly well, the 2nd performance to the year 13's was a little bit more successful than the one to the young ones. I think this was because obviously the older audience could react better and quicker when we interacted with them than the young ones.
Monday 3rd December, we came in at around 5pm to sort out set for the shows... great idea for the princess palace to put balloons on the wooden frame from Polly Lewis, worked well, we did this because there was infact no set ideas for that scene and it just fitted in perfectly with the mood and tone of the play/show. Then at the last minute, Jess and Kim came up with the idea to cut up more flowers and pin them to the black curtain in 'the flower garden' and it did look very good and it was a great act of improvisational brilliance. Also the snow queen's palace had been put up and looked marvellous... lit with blue lights to add the 'icey/cold' effect to create the tone of the scene.
This session proved effective as we didn't really have much done for the set side of the show, and everyone put it vast amounts of ideas and effort into making the set and props.

  1. A good piece of analytical work. Can you tell us about your role as lighting designer? - You'll need to spend quite a bit of time on this area including:

    1. Your designs for colour and light positioning.
    2. Why you designed the scenes with those particular colours.
    3. How your ideas looked in reality with the set in place.
