[Skillo]

I thinking of cracking out the Tia Maria Tim Tams in celebration.
WHOOOP!
That's cool Will_Sparky.

 

[Skillo]

Okay guys, need a favour for one of my friends. He is doing Set Design and has been in hospital for about a month with some really bad thing that he won't tell me about (!!). So he is a bit behind in his work. Any possiblility that there is a student out there doing Design and have summaries for all the suggested/set plays? It would help him greatly and I'd like to cheer him up.

PM me if you have ANYTHING!

 

[Will_Sparky]

For your project??!

 

[Skillo]

Ahhh. This is bliss. The play that I got my monologue from finally arrived in the post today from America...I had to order it...and there are some ammmaaazzziiing ideas from it already. But I have a question...

Do you think it would be wrong to use a recording of my voice (to use as like a thoughts thingy) at the beginning. It would go for about 40 seconds. As the recording would go. I'd be lying on a surgical table kinda....reacting to my own voice.

I just heard that using lots of sound is not liked.

 

[grk_styl]

I don't think you can do that Skillo. Coz it's supposed to be you performing the whole way through. I don't think they allow recordings or music.

But hey, you could still be lying on the table and talking, I guess. I'm really not good at performance, so i can't help you out here!

 

[Fire Sprite]

umm i think you can use recordings if it is appropriate...a friend of mine who got a band 6 in drama used music throughout hers? Maybe just double check what recorded pieces are accepted, im intending to open my performance with a piece of music.

 

[aLeeOh!]

im not quite sure if they doi allow it... but ive heard that they prefer the least amount possible... because in the end, they're judging you as a performer.YOUR performance.... not some fancy lightning, or some professional sounding sfx..-i know im exaggerating here- i think its to make it fair for those students who might be disadvantaged for they dont have the facilities or equipment or blah blah blah... my point is, maybe yes ..... or maybe no! hahaha... check with your teacher.

 

[Will_Sparky]

Okay, my aust theatre drama teacher told me this... your performance will be judged on you... not on your space, lighting, sound, costume, etc. what they will do is pretend your out in the middle of George St and see if you can create the same meaning! So there allowed, but you shouldnt RELY on them.

 

[Skillo]

Cool as. It's addition is not definate, I think it would work with me saying the passage in darkness anyway.

Btw, the confusion about music: yes it is allowed, as long as it complements the piece.

 

[Will_Sparky]

and as long as the piece is not RELIANT on the music... as long as the performance can still work without it.

 

[Skillo]

The 'Reliant' issue is common sense, at least I hope it is for everyone.

 

[aLeeOh!]

:sarcastic:. you never know!

 

[Fire Sprite]

just checked the marking guidelines for performance. Music and sound effects are allowed but only those "essential to the works meaning"....so yeah i know we kinda cleared this up already but just dont be reliant...which is weird cos the monologue this friend of mine did was centred partly around a piece of music so couldnt have really worked without it.
eh, ah well!

 

[aLeeOh!]

did?.. so your friend has already performed it and it has been marked? or he's intending to .....
how did he go anyway?

 

[Fire Sprite]

She's done it. Completed the HSC in 2002. She did extremely well, band 6 a mark of 96 seems to ring a bell, not entirely sure though. But yeah she was a high band 6 ... abosolutely AMAZING performance...gave you chills.
