The important part  of lighting   in theater production  is critical in conveying the proper atmosphere. It is essential in setting the time and place, mood and focus of the play. Lighting  pulls all the elements of a play together and helps the director convey his/her message. Also different types of lighting such as a spotlight can give different angles of a character that the audience can see.

At first my songalogue was just one song, but the song was to short so what I decided to do was think of a song and or commercial or even a theme song that I remembered. The first thing that came to my head was one of my favorite shoes, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. In the show I always remembered the episode of Will Smith meeting his father for the first time and it was a very emotional scene. But what I decided to do was include in my songalogue that my father was never really around for me just like Will's father wasn't. So once I found out from my mother that he died I was shocked, because he was never around and I didn't hear anything but bad things about him. So what I did was combine the two songs and play the emotions different. At first I was kind of happy and mellow but once I entered the second song I slowly began to get sad. I think I did a good job with my blocking and making eye contact with the audience. I wanted to involve a hat in my scene so I can throw it ...

today I tried to work on turning my song into a monologue, but I couldn’t quite figure it out so I changed my whole song to papa was a rolling stone. I made progress to actually pick a song as of now I’m just working on memorization and blocking. This week I have to figure out what emotion I want to share with the audience and what kind of blocking I’m going to do

My monologue had a lot of different roles i could have chosen from, At first when i did my first performance (rough draft) i chose to play it the innocent way. I chose this way at first just to see how i liked it to see if I as in myself liked playing the innocent way . I realized that at least mostly EVERYONE who has been in high school for at least 2 years has cheated on something, even if its just copying homework from a friend its still a form of cheating. So i thought it would be more realistic if i played it as if i cheated. I could have done a better job being more sarcastic I know that there where lots of parts were during the conversation with him and his father he said he would take the test over or the cheat sheet was planted. The father was almost forced into believing his son once the son said “you’re going to believe some strangers word over mine “. That kind of makes you want to kind of back up and look at the situation I’m sure the kid never gave the father any hard tim...
