Cut, Print, Moving on.

Surprisingly, the show went off without much of a hitch in my areas. The only issue that occurred was that the vinyl player sound did not play, which was a shame, but only minor. The set up I had with Hal was complicated but functionary. With my laptop, vinyl player, levels mixer and stand to have script on, I had everything I needed. I plugged my computer into a TV on the set so the audience could see me live mixing and it seemed to look professional and interesting.

The Set, and my sound set up on the tech table.

The only things for sound I would have really changed were more of a universal style between scenes, but for this style of theatre, that would prove difficult, and perhaps some recorded speech to give an overriding theme. It was thought that the phrase “He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past” from George Orwell’s 1984 would work, and I would have loved to have had this played near the start of the production, in the middle and near the end. It gives a nice framing statement of power and history that is exactly what the performance was about.

Either way, the show went well, I was proud and I’m incredibly proud of all the work I’ve put into this module. Some elements I wish were stronger, but with the limited time we had once the decisions were being made about the show we did the best we could, and the fact we had a show is an achievement that we should all be proud of.
