Due to the Queen’s Birthday public holiday and the GAT test, we only had one double period of theatre this week, which was unfortunate as I was hoping to get a lot done on my PPP. So during the double period on Wednesday, I googled for many templates for my characters. The majority of them came from a colouring in website, where you just print and colour. I chose to use templates as I felt my drawing skills wouldn’t be able to express how my characters should look, however, I was able to express my colour choices through the colours I used while colouring the templates in. So, after trying to print them at least 4 times (the stupid printers weren’t working), Ms Flood did me a huge favour and printed them for me. I spent the rest of the week, up until last night colouring in 19 images which will be the characters in my play, which is yet to have a title.
I began writing the pitch for my PPP by looking at the pitches I wrote last year. These have helped me understand what I need to do for the pitch. Once I finalise the set designs and things such as lighting and sound, I will be able to add to my pitch. This week, I am hoping to draw the set design and work out lighting, sound and hopefully a storyboard! I’m loving the PPP as it’s my own creation, and there’s no budget so it can be as elaborate and out there as I want it to be!
