This week I have helped with the get out for the instillation project, emptied paper from a folder, got cast list printed to A4 paper size, painted wolf masks black, talked to a director of the paly to answer questions, watched a rehearsal of the play, grabbed props from the props which were sausages, bread, rolling pin, wooden bowls, baskets, plastic buckets, lanterns, easter eggs, onions, plates, tray and cutlery, painted eggs white, brown and light brown, grabbed pies, chairs, roses and dead flowers and I started to make an old village bucket. This week I solved the problem of the bright easter eggs colours showing when the eggs were painted white, I solved this by waiting for them to dry and then painting another layer of white onto it. Then once that dried, I painted another layer of white on. Some of the eggs were white while some of the eggs still had the visible easter egg colours underneath so they were painted brown or light brown, this problem needed patients and was done over a long period of time which I ad to do other things while I waited for them to dry. I learned the skill painting better by not putting too much paint on my brush because it would get on my hand and the brush handle. The skill of painting props is very useful for fake food, buckets, tavern mugs, stage boxes, trumpets and many more different props. I have improved on knowledge of the Beauty and the Beast show by watching a rehearsal. Even though they just went off book and a lot hadn’t been blocked it gave me a good of what the show was. The main characters being played by two actors was unexpected but once they are in sync with each other with more practice it will be very effective so that both sides of the traverse audience can watch a main character. It’s also useful to know when and how the props are going to be used. I cam improve on making my old wooden bucket by adding another layer of brown paint to it so that the orange can’t be seen and if it’s still seen with the added layer then I paint another layer onto it. I can also add some detail to improve the bucket when the brown paint dries. I don’t think this prop will be used as a rehearsal prop, but it would be good to cross it off the props list as done. I also set the goal of finishing my eggs because they are painted and just need to go into the basket with Styrofoam and hay. This week I researched an image of a red rose, so I knew what one looked like and then I looked for as many red roses as possible in the flower boxes. I researched black caps, baguettes, bread, eggs and fish props to buy which was done at the beginning of this week which I forgot to write down. The delivery prices were more expensive than the actual product being sold especially with the black caps some were 99p with £10 delivery. The black caps were found in a box by another student, so none needed to be bought. The baguettes and bread were either cheap not realistic looking kids toys or really expensive with delivery price. I found a few egg packs on amazon, but they had bad reviews for being not realistic enough to or there were too expensive. The fish is going to made by another student because they were too small or too expensive.
