    Portfolio Assignment

  • Character Development

    Character Development
    -Spring board for the rest of my projects on the play "Tangled Up In Blue"
    -Should have explored more details, such as romantic partner, did not even give him a name.
    -Gave depth to character in play, which added depth to entire production.
    -Starting point for actor; without it does not bring character to life; does not draw audience in.
  • Monologue - Trash it

    Monologue - Trash it
    -Did not reflect who I was; I did not reflect the character
    -Was not ready to present; Do not enjoy the centre stage
    -Need to look for and use stage directions when performing; I ignored them the first time I did my monologue
    -Ignored my own character analysis I had written up on the first assignment that would have helped this
  • Juliet Mask

    Juliet Mask
    -Darker side of Juliet
    -Should have placed on stick, not elastic to attach to head
    -Production would benefit from removable mask
    -Depth of colour and style of mask influence production: impiles more rebellion for Juliet than a light, airy mask would
  • Tangled Up In Blue - Set design

    Tangled Up In Blue - Set design
    -Liked the simple, yet elegant appeal
    -Would change to smaller, shorter table with fabric chairs.
    -Change in set would change the second scene, but would still work production wise
    -Changes scene from sterile environment to more warmth between characters.
  • Tangled Up In Blue - Sound design

    Tangled Up In Blue - Sound design
    -Time consuming, but valuable
    -Opening sound was appropriate to house for sense of style
    -Cafe songs did forshadowing, and set mood
    -Ending song reflected what happened during the entire play
    -Wouldn't change any of them at the moment.
    -All worked together to create a heartbreaking atmosphere.
  • Portfolio Reflection

    Portfolio Reflection
    -Wanted to put all in portfolio
    -Reflection made me consider changes I would not have otherwise
    -Realization that I prefer the backstage componants
    -Set and sound design my two main strengths; want to make use of them in the future
    -Most important to whole of production: Props develop from the set choices; sound sets tone and mood for entire show.
