The SETTING!

For my electives term class Stage Chemistry I was assigned into a group of our choice and discuss a plan about the Christmas Carol setting. As we discussed our plan we said we will build a model into three parts and those parts will be past, present and future with little details attached to each of these parts of our model. The group struggled a bit but in two days we got most of the props done for each sections. I am really excited to see how this model will turn out at the end, with all the other models.

As we settled into groups, each group had a job and those jobs were theme, settings, characters and props everything that basically makes a theater. I was put in the settings with three more other students to work on this part of space of a theater. For the first part we started with lots of stuff like how the model will look and be designed. So we started off by choosing the three top important roles that the theater will need so we went with

Each one of these roles have a need and concern as you see above. We chose these roles because we thought it would fit perfect with each of the parts that the group decided to do for the model. one student built the house that separates into two which is pretty cool. Us girls built the round circle to make three sections off of it to represent each of the three settings of the play. So, we started with that and well we kind of just started from the draft model and made little things like chairs, stoves, and bushes. We added a huge model to the model that was made to look like a barbie house. We decided to use it at last minute because we were running out of time but it was a really good model to show how scrooge's inside of the house looked. We build little descriptions for the house which looks pretty cool and after I thought it wasn't a great idea it turned out it was a good one.

The Stage Designer is suppose to have appropriate design for the time of the arrow of the play. Have lots of safety with the sets and props. The crew job has to be done right in order to look good. Also, have the correct appropriate equipment for the stage. 

The Director is in charge to always have a finished script for a show to run. Rehearsed actors is really important for this role because without the actors not practicing what they have to do makes the stage performance look very crappy. It's a really big part of being a director and making the actors take this role of rehearsing their scripts and acts. Any injuries and understudy is also very important because if they get injured this goes to the director's responsibility. Everyone's job being done on time.

The Crew/Tech always have to be careful with setting things on stage and while performance is on play. Safety for the sets, props, swifts and people. Fit and timing with light and sound. A Backup electricity generator for the lighting and sound. Also, have everyone trained so they know what to do with the lighting and sounds which is a really big part also for a stage.
