Students will demonstrate their understanding of production management by designing and discussing production elements.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Examples of production posters, blank paper, various magazines, art supplies such as crayons, colored pencils, markers, chalk, construction paper, etc.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Have a small table or block set up in the front of the class \u2013 on the stage if you have one \u2013 with a tablecloth laid over it. Have a table easel nearby for use. As students enter the room hand them a slip of paper with a number on it. Once the bell rings, have the student that is holding the number one come to the front of the room, put his\/her dramatic metaphor or viz on the table (using the easel if the viz needs propping up) and explain his\/her play concept. Go through each of the students according to the number they are holding.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Transition \u2013 Ask the students which viz\u2019s they were most interested in. What made that viz stand out? How did the viz support the concept? What kinds of images\/feelings\/emotions did the viz bring out? Encourage the students to choose a dramatic metaphor that is striking (visually or tactile arresting) and supportive of the concept. Ask the students which of the viz\u2019s could also be incorporated in a production poster.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Modeling \u2013 Pull out some examples of production posters: a mixture of professional Broadway, local community, and other schools will provide an array of style. Go over the various posters and discuss some of the design choices: color, font, size, graphics, etc. that all contribute to \u201ctelling the story\u201d of the show in one visual image.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Instruction \u2013 Assign students to create a poster design for their own show. Remind them of the production management elements that must be included in their design:
\u2022 Play Title
\u2022 Playwright
\u2022 Director Name
Encourage them to use their imagination and creativity as they design their posters. They can use any of the art supplies you provide for them, or they can simply sketch out a rough idea on paper now and use computer graphics to polish the poster. The posters should not be bigger than 8 \u00bd x 11 size.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Also instruct the students to collect their program information during this time. They need to create a program \u201cfront\u201d and information that includes: characters\u2019 full names, any needed technical staff, setting description, special notes or thanks, etc.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Individual Practice \u2013 Spread out the art supplies and let the students create their own work stations. They can be working on their poster designs, program information, or other requirements such as Theme & Spine, Concept, Statement of Justification, and other earlier concepts taught in class. If possible, allow willing students to go to computer lab to work on their written materials or to find graphics for their poster\/program.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Students can be assessed on their dramatic metaphor\/viz presentation and can also be graded on their progress with their poster design and use of practice time during the class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
