The picture underneath is showing the set of D.N.A.the characters that are sitting down in the Leah and Phil.the set in my option is very abstract bye all the shopping trolleys built up at the left hand side of the stag.i think the shopping trolleys are linking to the lines were mark siads (On the leafed bye the asder) and u Link trolleys with a supermarket.
The set of this play of D.N.A is amazing buy all the leaves on the ground and the bench that Leah and Phil are sitting on.when u look at the set it gives u a image in your head strat away of a woodland place or an empty park with tow people sitting on the bench.
Lighting in this set relay maches the props like the leaves the lighting for that instantly maches the the colour of the leaves and it takes it more of a good look to set.

D.N.A over view on the play 2013!
EVALUATION D.N.A
My overall opinion of the performance of D.N.A was very good because of bye far everyone listen to the feed back they good and took that on Bord and all put in there best effort as much as they could.
The things that went well for me was the cues my cues were do on point that when i was acting in scene one it felt like i was rely in a argument because it was just line after line that mad it so much more naturally than just fake and the thing is i feel like when u are acting a massive argument scene its got to be on point because other wise it doesn't feel real enought and u lose the gist of the hole scene and buy the performance on 14TH of Feb it went do well.
The Scean that i thought also done well was chem and Ella's scene when there sitting at the back wall because chem sites back and its his waffle and that is a good look for Ella that what she is saying its not just going to nothing its being directed to the waffle because she is talking about a waffle.plus the way how Shem gave it a funny side bye spreading his waffle with jam in a funny manner and that gave the funny side over to the scene and its always a good way to have a funny side in drama because it gets the audience nice and involved that was the best scean in the play i thougth.
Our piece was effective in a way that everyone gave there 100% in there character and listen to want miss said by if your standing at the side and the spot light isn't on u still should be acting as ur character and never lock out of your character because as u may think the audience is just focasing on main stag they will also be looking round and if they look round round to u and you are in character there going to think there is a strong scene of characterisiom in the room.The set effective buy the wooden swing that was probley the most famous prop on set because i relay dose get used throughout out the whole inter play buy character using it as a back up is they want to hit it or sit down a say a line if they feel they need to sit down on it.Also i thougth the music was very effective because even thougth u have the acting the music also gives a effect of story buy when we had the track near to the end of the play drum and bass i think it was it may give the audience a feel of speed in the play in what i mean bye that is when u have fast upbeat music like that in a theatre play it shows that the next scean may be more up beat because the music was upbeat.
The strength of the performance i would say the opening because as i say thears no worlds but as they say actions speck louder than worlds and that is true because the opening sequence was very Sharp and confident in that u could kinda tell where there character was going just bye what actions they were doing and how they acted them actions out .
I think the only weakness of the play was when Eloise was talking to Cameron near the end because of i felt like it wasn't just me but the night when it was the real performance i felt like the audience got a bit Bord and it lacked a bit i think this because of there was music walking round going on and getting more interactive with the audience and i think its relay important if one actor has a long monolog u should always keep the audience a live in them watching you.

PIC 1 Shows characters /Phil,Leah,and John Tate. This pic is a good picture in away that all 4 of us have all got different facile expression which is a good thing because when u are on stag even if an actor isn't specking to u directly u should always be miming or facile expressions to the other person that the actor is specking to because that shows another story that is being told in the play .Next is also abut the way in this picture its showing everyone looking round at me (John Tate) so this is definitely showing people have a scared side towards me and u can definitely tell that buy every one facile expressions buy just the Little lifted eye brow or the eyes u can tell striaght away.
D.N.A 2013 10TH JAN.
1).WHAT DID YOU CHANGE/DEVELOP ABOUT YOUR PICE AND WHY?
My character is Phil and the way i changed the opening sequence was bye instead of doing my hair in just one mirror i decided i would do my hire in three mirrors the sides the audience are sitting,so id get my pot of gel from under my bed then i will style my hire three sides so the audience get a good view of my characters face and the way i stand because i thought to use the audience as much as i can.
2).WHAT PROPS/COSTUME HAVE YOU DECIDED THAT ARE SIGNIFICANT TO YOUR CHARACTER AND HOW YOU USE THESE PROPS IN THE OPENING SEQUENCE?
The props i am using in the opening sequence is a energy drink and my coat.i will use my coat infront of the mirrors when i put it on and look at myself in the mirror and then i walk away from it a kiss the mirror plus after i put my coat on i walk back over to the swing that's mean to be the side of my bed and under the swing is my drink i pick that up and i go to walk off.
3).WHAT MESSAGE WILL YOUR PROPS COSTUME GIVE TO THE AUDIENCE?
I think the message my coat will give out to the audience is that i take pride on how i look when Phil goes out to meet Friends or show the public of his look also when i put my coat on i put it on in away it makes me feel good in away.
4).WHAT DO YOU WANT THE AUDIENCE TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER FROM WHAT U USE?
i wont the audience to see i take pride in the way i look, this is shown when i do my hire in the mirror with my pot of gel so this is showing that I'm a Lady's man in the way i do my hire.
5).HOW MIGHT THE PROP/COSTUME BE USED THROUGHOUT OUT THE PLAY?
my costume is my coat i were and basically how i use that is when i have the massive argument with characters Richard,Danny,lou and Kathy i go towards and sit upstage right and before i sit down i take my coat off and i lay in out the ground so my clothes don't actually get dirty before i go and sit and relaxed.
6).WHAT HAS GOT BETTER AND WHAT U NEED TO IMPROVE ON?
The things that have got better for me is i no the character i specking to so when they speck i can look round strat into the direction instead of like before they use to speck and I'm like where are they oh there they are so that's the point iv improved on.The things i need to improve on is my cues because jhon Tate cuts everyone off so when other people are talking iv got to cut them off at the rigth time to make it like a real life augment or conversation.

thursday 19 december 2012! (dnaplay)....
JOHN TATE CHARACTER.
PHYSICAL-HOW DO THEY MOVE,SIT,STAND?
:John Tate is a character that moves very lazily and when he comes a talks to people he lines up to there face and makes sure that the person he is talking to gives him a good amount of eye contact because everyone is scared of him so u have to give him eye contact.
scean2-PHIL.
i think John Tate sits very carmley on the edge of the stag when Phil is talking about covering up the D.N.A/buy what iv done is when i go and walk over after i have said my last line i walk over to stage left to go and sit down and talk my coat of and lay it down on the ground so i don't get my self muddy so that is showing he is quite big headed and also showing is quite posh as well as a boss.
what Little thing do they do that shows u are john Tate.
the one thing that i show i am jhon Tate is right at the begin when we do are character sequence,were i do my hair with gel and i give the audience a staring look while I'm doing my hire,next is the way i walk round and get dress carmley and kiss the mirror when I'm ready to go.
19december.
q)WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE OPENING RUN THOUGHT? DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING NEW ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?
the opening sequence were we show the audience all of our characters has come along way were we fist ever started to Feb 2013 its come on 100%.Iv got to say the opening sequence has shown me lots more about my character because it shows a opposite side to him when he isn't with a load of his Friends just him in his bedroom getting ready to go out he dose defiantly show a Carma side he is still very big headed but he hasn't got that way were he has got to shout at people to get there attention,when he is alone its much quieter.
HOW DOSE D.N.A LOOK SO FAR?
now when we started acting out after we read the scripted and then acted it out for real iv got to say it was slow because we were on script people had to look at every word that they were saying so because they couldn't take there eye up it was just slowing it down,but after about 5weeks it did start kicking up past and week 6 most peopled were off scripted and the pas of it was just so much better it gave everyone more confidence and even mad the scenes more of a up beat vibe in the room that was good to see:).
WHAT ACTOR ARE U IMPRESSED WITH AND WHY?
.The actor i am impressed with is mark who is played bye Ben i think he has put so much extra detail inside of his character to give him self more of a open view of that character also took things slow and relay thought about everything hes character says and dose.

THE WORKSHOP TO OUR FIRST SCENE (DNA)! (6/12/12)
THRUST STAGING DISADVANTAGE
Is that when u are performing on a stag like that u are made bye the director to speck out to the audience at all different angels so that means u have to keep moving so that audience watching u have u voice pointed at u and there body language.and it is impossible to point your backs at them when u have thrust theatre seating .
ADVANTAGE.
the advantage of having theatre seating set out like this is that u can move round more what i mean bye they while u are saying this u can direct the line at every row at the side while your moving round the space.Also u get more of a connection with the audience because u haven't just got people in front of u you have people 360 degrees round you.
QUESTION.
challenges that i was being directed on was to think that i was the boss inside the hole gang and that i was very confident in every single world i said but acutely when i was directing the line to the other characters that i was shitting it because i thought iv just killed some one.i was asked to act like i was like the leader of the gang and i knew what i was talking about.
HOW WERE U DIRECTED IN THE SPACE.
i thought i was directed very well bye are teacher miss Goodall i think she is a very helpful director and she tells us the right thing what to do at the right time and i think that's rely important to do that for a actor.also i was told to act like i was telling the audience a picture in my head and iv got to say that was very hard to understand but i did get it in the end bye great help from miss goodall.
HOW I FOUND THE PROGRESS.
i found that the progress of my scene i was in was coming around very nicely in away that everyone listened to miss on what she had to say on each character and that made everyone have a better idea on how to act like there character they have been chosen for.Also the things that are your own ideas is very important to show because u may have an idea then u will go forward and do that movement or facial expression and the director with turn round and they may say u should not do that at all or do that we not so much power so at least u have a director there to guide u on your own idea's and to make them better as well.I do take directing very serious in away its to guide u on your own characters road throught the play and the director keep u on that road to keep that road growing and your acting growing.
DEVISED OPENING.
My opening i was directed on was very intresting once again because u could relay get into your characters body and think how would (John Tate) act in that way when he was waking up.so i write down on a sheet of paper that i could look back on when i was practising this opening on all the moves iv done so i don't forget them when I'm practising at school for it and plus the good thing about that u have a good direction map plan out in ur head what u touching,smelling,were your standing also what your opening.
MUSIC!
I think the music for are opening scene will tell the audience that are characters are very lazy because the lyrics are being spoken throught a mike which is a very lite sound which tell some characters may not be so confident then it had a normally sound which will relate to confident. also the lyrics inside of this song is very like teenager talk in the song so it will tell the audience that all the characters are in there teen years maybe.
