AAS (40) - Final rehearsals

"Curious Incident":  (final run through)
  • Transitions into each different scene were smooth and effective.
  • The slow motion section worked well.
  • Our movements fit perfectly with the tracks I made.
  • The Information dialogue was too quiet and so Ollie struggled to hear them over the top of the music I put in, thus meaning Ollie didn't say his first line, thus making the dialogue not make sense. Therefore between this rehearsal and the performance, I edited the track again, amplifying the track of Kat's voice. 
  • It was also difficult to pause the tracks and play them in the right place because they ran in to each other - therefore I added ten seconds of silence on to the end of the three tracks, to ensure that they didn't run on to the next track before someone could press pause.
"People, Places & Things" (1):  (penultimate run through)
  • Use of movement and body language was strong.
  • Characterisation was, on the whole, convincing.
  • Some people still needed prompting with lines.
  • Use of bright lights in contrast to blackouts worked well.
  • Projection needs a bit of work in places for a lot of us.
"People, Places & Things" (2):   (dress run)
  • Characterisation was fairly strong throughout (in terms of facial expressions and body language).
  • Diction and projection could do with more attention in places.
  • Costumes looked really effective.
  • Use of props was effective.
  • Lines were still forgotten, but we didn't get prompted, we tried to make it work. 
  • Lighting was effective.
