Blog 18 3/21 3/25 Everything Has an End This week is tech week so this is when we go over everything and break it down and refine it till it's perfect. We finally got the pit band so it felt more authentic. So we made sure all the light cues and spotlight cues were good. I ran the main spotlight. In class that week I memorized scripts on my computer making sure I knew my cues for Friday. I also was able to outline the workings of my final project.

Blog 17 3/14 3/18 The Beginning of the End We had soft tech week as our director put it. We started to focus more on the lighting and sound and began focusing on sets. At drama, we started to refine cues that did not make sense and we fixed lighting problems. In class, there wasn't much to do so I stuck to reading the manual and sometimes would review scripts. On Friday I put up an LED light strip so the actors could see backstage. Aidan Doe
Blog 16 3/7 3/10 Whats out There This week there wasn't much to do from a lighting standpoint in drama we started to put some lighting cues on the light board. We also started to learn some of the spotlight cues. In class, I read the manual for the light board on my computer and was able to learn more about flights that the school doesn't have. There was also information on their website about other lighting boards they have. The week was concluded with drama on Friday where we met with the director about lighting. Aidan Doe
2/28 3/4 Blog 015 Lighting Begins On Monday and Tuesday in class, I continued reading the script as it is over 100 pages long. But on Monday we started lighting and I am in the spotlight for this show. So most of the time I wait and then manually control the spotlight. Then on Wednesday I continued reading the lighting manually in class and worked the spotlight at drama. I then updated my website on Thursday and Friday by adding new blogs and checking the content on the website. I also worked the spotlight at drama on friday. Aidan Doe
2/14 2/17 Blog 014 Busy Work On Monday and Tuesday in class, I read about the spotlights in the lighting manual to see how to correctly insert gels and fasten them. As well as how to fix any other problems that may come up. The rest of the week I started reading the script for the musical to get a better understanding of what was happening. But in drama on Wednesday and Friday, we fixed the spotlights by putting in new gels in the spotlights to have every color. We also checked to see if anything else was broken. Aidan Doe
2/7 2/11 Blog 013 Regroup I started the week by starting my weekly goals then I had more downtime so I read more of the lighting manual. Then on Tuesday, I started to update my website and I started on the cover I created captions for each section of the year so one for each of the plays. Then on Wednesday, I worked on the inquiry page which summarizes each part of the year. Then on Thursday, I updated the blog page to make sure things were up to date. Then on Friday I completed an overview of the website and finished my goals. We did not do much in drama as it is still early in the musical and lighting isn't needed yet. Aidan Doe
1/31 2/4 Blog 012 New Beginnings In class, I started the week by creating a proposal for a new project where I would dive into the world of esports and how I could become an esports pro. Then on Tuesday I reviewed the one-acts and cleaned everything up and sent out thank yous to my cast. I continued this on Wednesday as well. On Thursday I had some downtime in class so I read some of the lighting manuals on my computer. Then on Friday, I got my first look at the spring musical the Addams family. We only had drama on Friday as they had auditions on Monday and Wednesday. In drama, we went over the beginning of the play and got the general idea of the musical. Aidan Doe
Week 1/10 Contempt As the shows were pushed back It gave me more time to work on the show. I was able to talk with the people making the programs and asked them to add information on cyberbullying. I also was able to talk with our tech crew more about what was possible and how we could make it better and in class, I reviewed the script and made sure the blocking made sense, and reviewed what could go better. Unfortunately, we were unable to run the shows again. Blog
Week 1/3 1/7 Aidan Setbacks This week is tech week where we finalize our shows. On Monday I didn't have class but I had drama after school. We decided to run the week as a series of dress rehearsals one on each day leading up to the show. The first day went very well for us as we were the most prepared show with lighting finished. On Tuesday in class, I reviewed the script and some feedback we got to identify where the show could do better and how it exceeds. I found that the show is good all around and there are minor details that need working. Then at Drama, we went through the show again and worked on timing. Then on Wednesday in class, I changed some blocking as I feel it was not as smooth so I went through and edited the script. But at the drama that day we found out that we would be pushing the shows back to the 23rd of January. Then i was out the next two days so I was not able to work on the script. Aidan
Week 11 12/13 12/17 Boredom This week was tough because we didn't have the stage for two days of the three and when we did we were at miscoe getting props. We started the week by watching a movie we watched cloudy with a chance of meatballs and played some improv games. Then on Wednesday we went to miscoe to grab props for us to use. We got three beds and two doors for use on stage. Then on friday we didn't do much other than relax and run through some lines as we didnt have as much of our cast. |
