Blog 25: Mentorship

Literal:

Contact info on the log.

Interpretive:

The most important thing that I gained from this experience would have to be knowledge of preproduction and set. Before this senor project, I had no real clue what really went on behind-the-scenes of a play. I never knew all the work that was put in to create even the simplest of sets, and the huge amount of people it takes to work together to make sure everything works out at the end and comes out how it was supposed to.

Applied:

When I was doing this mentorship, I spent most of it working with the set. I got to see the process of creating a set, and what were different things that we had to take into consideration when building the set. The set that we created was completely different from what the original play script for "Back to the 80s" described. Instead of having to create just one set for all the scenes, we created various sets for different scenes. We had to use different techniques and work with what we knew about the play to create a new set diffrent from what the script described. My essential question is "What is the best way a set designer can enhance a play?", and us as the set designer had to build a set that best fit the play, keeping the story true to the original.
