Did I give 100% ?
I think I did not give 100%, I think gave about 80% because there was some moments in the production that I feel that I almost got distracted by some of the people in my year that came to watch the production. They kept trying to make my fellow actors and I laugh, for example when Courtney and I was doing our teddy bear training.
Before the performance started The masks we gave out, was to make them feel uncomfortable and trapped. A effect on the audience was when woman that became part of the performance because she kept getting in trouble for taking them off continuously throughout our production and resulting into her put into room 101. A effect was, It made the audience feel like they were just a number, which help buy them into our world. The way people toke off their mask helped us to bring them into the performance and immersive them into the piece. We used the mask inspired from punk drunk to give the audience the freedom to perform, By giving then a mask we give them the chance to become someone else.

The world we created in the top 4 rooms was dark and distressing for example room 101,the food hall, O'Brien office and Stanley room,therefore we made the audience feel dull and distressed ,however when you look out the window you see my group singing and dancing outside , you saw a lot of people watching us outside the window. You saw a world that was not so sad , a world that had happiness and song. Something we did was expressed are self, through dance and song, A effect on the audience may be that not all is lost that there was still hope.

Multimedia - The use of computers to present text, graphics, video, animation, and sound in an integrated way.
In my group we used the multimedia of sound through are voices, when we sang the spy youth song to prays O'Brien. I also used my voice throughout the performance, like when at the start of the performance when I was protesting against thought criminals and I was asking people if they are a thought criminal or if they love O'Brien?
This was good because this helped to bring the audience into the world we lived in straight from them leaving the reception all the way up to O'Brien office. In addition,it had a effect on the audience because it brought fear to them, straight from the beginning to the end.
The props we used was really good tools because we had posters that talked about the revolution and to get the audience informed about it we talked pass them and tried to put it in there hands and pockets, this was a very effective method used in our production.
We used dance at the ended that everyone did to suggest that we are all braking away from this idea of Big Brothers control and not being able to be express your self. We wore all black to suggest the idea of not being able to express your self and for everyone to look the same.
The use of lighting in room 101 was really interesting because it was all blacked out but had glimpse of red , this could symbols to the spectators that you just walked into hell or a place of suffering.
The baby crying made the spectators have the feeling of being scared and not feeling comfortable.We used bright sodium light, that created a suffocated feeling of heat towards the spectators
The way the torture tools were just left there was really good prop because they performed for there self's. In room 101 they had a video of someone ripping someone's eye out, this had a big effect on the spectators because when some people saw the video they were scared,therefore the way the tools were left on the table suggest that they were going to use it on the spectators. The costumes that was used was blood on the torture team, this was really effective on the spectators because it made them think they really did kill someone and they were next.
The sound of war is peace , freedom is slaver in a voice that felt died and broken was really effective towards the spectators because it gave them the experience of the dull life they lived in even at dinner time.Not much lighting was used only the normal lighting of the room.
Projectors of party supports on the walls and thought criminals emitting what they have done was really good because it suggest that they had been broken by Big Brother, a effect on the spectators was teaching that "you can do this" and "you can't do this", it showed them right and wrong.
The props used in Stanley room was, the bed where Stanley and Rosa did their love monologues, a table and the record player that was playing olden music of the time. Stanley costumes was just all black top and trousers and black shoe, therefore this suggested to the spectators that his life was dull.
There was a live feed video of O'Brien giving out speech's to everyone around the school, however it was mostly shown in the reception. There was no sound of dance in this room. Everyone was wearing ties and business wear in O'Brien office, a effect on the spectators would be them knowing they are in a place of business from the way they dressed.

ROOM 101
The use of lighting in room 101 was really interesting because it was all blacked out but had glimpse of red , this could symbols to the spectators that you just walked into hell or a place of suffering.
The baby crying made the spectators have the feeling of being scared and not feeling comfortable.We used bright sodium light, that created a suffocated feeling of heat towards the spectators

The costumes that was used was blood on the torture team, this was really effective on the spectators because it made them think they really did kill someone and they were next.
Food hall
Projectors of party supports on the walls and thought criminals emitting what they have done was really good because it suggest that they had been broken by Big Brother, a effect on the spectators was teaching that "you can do this" and "you can't do this", it showed them right and wrong.
The props and the posters with blood on them that were crossed out was a really good idea because half of it showed them supporting Big Brother and the other half showing hating Big Brother and them supporting the rebels. I think this was a really good contrast because it had a effect on the spectators to make them think whose side do I need to be on?
Another prop they used was soup that they served to people that came to the food hall,therefore this was effective towards the spectators because it showed them how dull peoples life's was in our production.The costumes used in the production for food hall was dinner lady outfits that were Black and white .
Stanley room
The sound we used was a hidden music box , with music that kept playing again and again,in a result of this, a affect on the spectator will be that we make them feel like they are in the times of where Stanley was and lived. The room lights were the only lighting source that was used in Stanley's room,There was no video used in Stanley room, however if there was a little tape in the corner that the audience could of just picked up and watched would have been really good in my opinion.The props used in Stanley room was, the bed where Stanley and Rosa did their love monologues, a table and the record player that was playing olden music of the time. Stanley costumes was just all black top and trousers and black shoe, therefore this suggested to the spectators that his life was dull.
415-O'Brien office
Theatrical lighting was used for O'Brien speech , it was only used once,therefore, this had a effect on the audience because It only happened once,therefore resulting into the audience wanting to be there as soon as they could. The light of the computers , the computer had information of people in the world. The costumes that were just left there was performed even by it's self without anyone being there. The only sound used was The party people talking in there, the props were computer, cloths, books, posters etc.There was a live feed video of O'Brien giving out speech's to everyone around the school, however it was mostly shown in the reception. There was no sound of dance in this room. Everyone was wearing ties and business wear in O'Brien office, a effect on the spectators would be them knowing they are in a place of business from the way they dressed.
The Space
Normal lighting ,set with x marked on the floor just left there something else that performed it's self, this was good because the audience just need to look at it and they will already start thinking of questions, therefore it made a effect on the spectators.
