Evaluation

I thought that my performance went well in the way that that was what I wanted to achieve however it is not what I wanted my final idea to be.

For my set I did want the hanging costumes but I probably would have preferred them to be more detailed to really show who the characters were. It could have been as simple as using a male Edward Scissorhands costume as I only had a female version of fancy dress which did not, for me, justify enough who I was trying to represent.
I also wanted to have more things that would relate to the movie that allow the audience to understand more if they did not know what was showing. If I had more time I would of created things that portrayed the movie most such as the hill in Nightmare Before Christmas, a cut out chain of girls/snow for Edward Scissorhand and the word beetlejuice shown 3 times on the costume for Beetlejuice.

For my lighting I would have made less cues than I had created. The songs that I chose had very clear beats to them which were easy to light with, yet I did not realise how often they were or how many cues it would need to succeed in doing this. I would probably change the lighting cue to every other beat or so.
I would also change a few of my gel colours as they were quite repetitive. It was quite hard to come up with different colours for each part of my performance as the thing that it was based on -Tim Burton- is known to create quite dark/halloween-y types of films which all basically represent the same colours -green, purple, blue etc. I probably would of preferred to use a different colour in each lantern rather than 2 of the same in the fresnels.

For myself I think that if I had started to plan at the beginning of the project when I had chosen my final idea it would have run smoother for me. I should of decided what I needed to do and when it had to be ready by certain dates. I slightly panicked about the tasks that were needed for this project and it made me put starting it off for a while, this then made me become quite stressed as I didnt realise that I was quickly running out of time. If I used my college time wisely or found out sooner that we were able to download the program at home then I think that I could of got the cues create quicker than I had and would of been able to spend the rest of my time creating the set that I would of hoped for.

Overall, I am happy with the way it went initially but would of changed how I worked on this project to make myself achieve the idea I had imagined at the beginning.
