'In what ways were drama techniques and effects used?\r'

'We came across many problems with the staging of our labor because we had different ideas we valued to communicate. for the jump time we treasured to create the idea of a carnival by using Theatre in the crook however there were more cons than pros and although this helped create an impression of the genus Circus the room was as well as small which would hold back the interview we had. Also, it would be challenging because we would have to carry out to both sides which would limit how we acted in the context.\r\nAfter hard out different styles of staging we decided on having the audience end on this helped increase the size of it of the audience and made it simple for us the actors because we provided had to perform to the front. We also decided on having an proscenium wall finished the middle because it helped us jack off on and off and were an extra exit when needed to founder the stage but was also good to get close to the audience and interact with them more.\ r\nThe set of our production was simple because we had limited equipment but also we precious to keep it simple because it meant as a radical we would have to work harder to create the illusion and permit the audience use their imagination. We utilize basic prop up as well because there were numerous strokes so it was difficult to take them on and off. We decided on a few scenes were shore up were necessary e.g. goofball scenes and Punch and Judy we found that we needed props in Punch and Judy because they help the storyline and create the characters, props helped micturate Punch and Judy look more homogeneous a cartoon and helped make it humorous because we magnified the size of the props e.g. Punch had a broad cigarette. We wanted to put a modern winding on Punch and Judy while sticking to the authorized storyline and the props are what help the audience to familiarize with it.\r\nIn general we used natural theatre techniques meaning most scene had no or very little sp eech. This meant we had to figure contents through symbolic movement. Our body movements and facial expressions helped ingest the message to the audience. For example in The Mirror Scene we had to show the difference between two characters without speaking so we used exaggerated faces and movements to express the emotion of the piece.\r\nWe used lighting and endure throughout the production to convey the cash dispenser and emotion of the piece. In the first scene we wanted to make the audience feel the passion and thrill that a circus usually gives, so we used lots of different coloured split second lights to give the idea of a circus and also disorientate the audience. The sound we chose was slightly strange sounding, we wanted to show that this wouldnt be a typical circus and give the impression something scary was going to happen. another(prenominal) sound we used was a drumming sound to crate the idea of panic and chase with flashing bright lights to disorientate the audi ence again.\r\nFor the end scenes we wanted to show a contrast between the emotions of the first half of the play were we symbolised in one scene love with soft pink lighting and genuine music with the darkness of the second half. During the freaks scene we attempt out different sounds however decided that we would make the noises and overlap each other, making it distorted. This meant the noise wouldnt be clear and keeping the lighting dark and too a minimal with just one iodin light on helped create an uneasy atmosphere and keep the audience on their toes.\r\n'
