Week 3: 22nd - 24th September 2020

-Tuesday 22nd: This was the online lessons, so we updated our websites in the first session and then did our swot worksheets in the second session.

-Wednesday 23rd: I was an hour late due to railway issues so I think I missed finishing the sewing example pieces but I had already finished mine last week so I don't think it matters much, when I arrived I started the day with a lighting workshop where we learned how to program the lights to dim and brighten, also how to change colours. After that we had a sound workshop that showed us how to make sound effects with things around the theatre. For thunder my group used a sheet of metal that we threw onto the floor, we made a heart beat by hitting a box and a bucket, for ocean waves we used a bottle of disinfectant that we swished around and a chain dragged along the floor. We made other sounds like foot steps and crowd noise too. Once we were done with that I did another sewing workshop in which I made a face mask, I think if I were to make one again I would try not to use as much of the seam allowance as it was maybe a little to small, and also I would use a small bit more elastic as it was a little tight.

-Thursday 24th: There was a black out with the power so we used the time to do more of our Alice research, I focused on character design and made some adjustments to my original design for The Hatter as it looked to much like the Tim Burton version. After that we did some more work on makeup skills, we made scars with collodian. Then we moved onto making fake fingers, we make a mould with alginate and the finger itself with silicone that had some colour mixed into it. If I get to make a second one I would mix the alginate more thoroughly and when making the finger I would have to tap the pot more as it came out rather bubbly, although it looked fine after I painted it at home.

-Target: I think my target for next week is to continue to try and be more involved with the others.

I think I've completed last weeks target, I went slower and everything went well.
