Recommended: Essay on theatre directing

My first time directing and working on a project was challenging, entertaining, and collaborative. I took a workshop class at Five Towns College where I created a silent and short film. Managing the short film was more difficult and time-consuming than I intended. As we were shooting, I envisioned the type of lighting and camera angles during a shoot that had time constraints. Therefore, if I had properly planned during pre-production, I would have more time to shoot different camera angles and have sufficient lighting. Although the film was dramatic, I had the pleasure of working with an actress who was very interesting. When we were shooting her scene, she would swear in her lines and one time she came barefooted for her entire shoot. Overall,

  • Creative Writing: The Great Gatsby

    856 Words  | 2 Pages

    There were make-up stains on the countertops along with trash on the floor. Quite often expensive costumes and personal belongings were strewn about. A few others would stay after the show with me to help clean up. The abundance of lost items in the dressing rooms sparked my interest to create a “Lost and Found” area. The director told me she appreciated my dedication to keeping things neat and organized. When our Sunday show awards ceremony rolled around, I watched the same people accept awards again, thinking I would not receive one. To my surprise, I received a ribbon and an invitation to be a Student Director for the remainder of high school. For the rest of ‘The Great Gatsby’ and throughout our spring show ‘Legally Blonde’, I worked hand in hand with our director and choreographer. I was with my fellow actors from 3:30pm to sometimes as late as 10pm. We would eat dinner together, talk with each other and do our homework. The experience of working as a team (similar to being in a close-knit family) gave me a sense of belonging and acceptance while striving to put on a spectacular production. I finally found my niche. The drama department was a place where I could be myself without feeling judged by others. For ‘Legally Blonde’ they used my design on the billboards, t-shirts and programs. I was so proud of myself that my hobby, graphic design, became something useful. This helped further boost my self-esteem and

    Though not under this production company, I actually produced my first feature. It was released theatrically last July. It's now available on VOD or iTunes or any other streaming service. It's called Battle Scars, and it's definitely a lot darker than Sweet Home Carolina. I'm very proud of it, and you know, making a movie is not easy. It's a lot of work. You have to find the financing and the script and a director and the actors. When I was a kid, as an actor, I thought I knew how hard it was to make a movie. But as actors, they kind of shield us from that stuff. When you're on the production side, you genuinely see everything, so it was a really cool journey for me. Very

    Technical Theatre class was a great learning experience for me. When I first signed up for the class, I wasn’t really looking forward to it. I had always been quite clumsy, and I’d never been very handy; so I didn’t think I would be of much use to the set building process. However, before the building process began, the class was taught how to properly and safely use power tools. Being educated on how to handle the equipment made me feel a lot more confident. Now, I’m proud of myself because I ended up getting a lot of work done that I didn’t think I was capable of.

    I know exactly how I wanted the end product to look like, however achieving it proved harder than I expected. One main thing that stood out to me as to what was causing the creativity block, was my lack of authority. As this was my first directing role, having to tell my actors just exactly I wanted them to do with enough discipline was hard. And as a result of this, progression within our first few rehearsals was very limited. Nevertheless, by the time my group and I had met up during outside lecture time for the fourth time, we made sensational progress.

    Most people have witnessed a scene such as this: a child sees something they do not understand. Confused, they ask their parent the inevitable question: “Why?” The adult tiredly replies, “That’s just the way things are.” If the majority of the people in the world had this defeated attitude, movements for social change would be nonexistent.
