Tech day did not go to plan for me. I knew exactly what I wanted lights wise and when for it to happen, but I was still editing my script because I was not fully happy with the way it read. This caused some problems with the programmed queues, but I would rather be happy about my script and have a less complicated tech.

Firstly, I wanted to create a natural feel. I wanted a slightly warm wash to represent the artificial lights used in a bedroom. I felt that if I used a wash, it would convey the welcoming atmosphere I am trying to create.

The only coloured light I want to use is when Craig Morrow’s voice over says “Warning! Do not feed the fatty. She may bite”. I feel this will add to the comedy of the voice over. It also makes the audience more engaged, as the lights have changed suddenly and make them hopefully listen further as I will have their attention.

Finally, for my finale dance scene, I wanted all the focus to be on me. I want a very harsh spotlight centre stage and back light to come on straight away with no fade. I felt that this would suddenly change the mood from something light hearted to something that the audience would see I am being serious about. Once I have finished my dance I want a flash of white light and to go into an instant black out to indicate the end of my performance.
