Today i thought i'd be a good stage in my script to completely re-read it so i can get an insight into whats going well and what needs more work on. I felt like my narrative and dialogue was good, the opening was strong, but i wasn't sure about how the main character Nicole gave most of the story line away at the beginning because she tells the audience that whats she's going to do before it is already followed through with. Im concerned that this gives away the storyline slightly too early, but without it i don't want confusion to be made within the audience. However, i really like the scene changes between Nicole and her journey and the classroom where she should be, it shows the perspectives of what her life is like and should be like.
I edited the first scene when we were introduced to her friends holly and Kate, i felt like i needed to give Nicole another friend so there was more to the sub-story, this would help keep the audience interested in the story line.
Furthermore, i changed in the first scene the fact that Nicole says she's never met her boyfriend. I changed this because i didn't feel that's how a girl of that age would speak they know people will question her if she starts to say that she's met him online or that she's never met him previous to this visit. So i edited that so that she always tried to avoid that question, this helps indicate to the audience that something is wrong within their relationship from the beginning, without giving it away.
I feel like i should also work on scene 5 where she begins to get all the online abuse, i need to lengthen this part so it seems more sustainable at the moment it feels like its not complete. This will also help guide the sub stories and the plots going on within those stories.
On the other hand, i feel like i have good diverse parts involved with my play, it involves technology of the projector which makes it more visually interesting for the audience and i want the play to have a heavy involvement with lighting to help aid the emotions going through the play.

Camera Angles for Dance with Camera
Camera angles give away a lot of information than you would expect it to be. Depending on how far away the camera shot is or how close it is, it already sends a message automatically to the audience about the character or object.
1) Bird’s-eye view:
A Bird’s-eye view shows a scene from overhead. Overhead of your character or even to show the setting but the shot doesn't show anything as clearly as you may think it is. This camera shot makes the audience feel like ‘God’ as God watches over everything that happens over our heads. People would look as tiny as ants and that also makes the audience feel tall and proud. It also shows the depths and scale of what is in the photo.

2) High Angle:
This angle is similar to the Bird’s-eye view but not as high up. The camera is slanted in the action, hovering over the sides of the heads. This makes whatever you are trying to focus on smaller and insignificant. This action becomes part of a wider scale.
3) Eye Level:
The eye-level shot is placed in level with a character’s face as if the audience is watching in level with the focus.

4) Low Angle:
Low angles are mainly used to give an effect of how small you are to the world. Low angles shots give a sense of powerlessness and makes you feel useful in the scene.

5) Oblique/Canted Angle:
An Oblique/Canted Angle can be sometimes tilted which is used in many popular horror movies to indicate to the audience that the scene is unstable, or ‘something is going to go wrong’. This shot suggests the ‘point of view’ of a character.

Stage Design and Old Gumbie Cat Blocking Workshop
In Todays lesson we got assigned a lesson where we would teach the class our chosen songs choreography. Today's lesson it was Beth's turn and her song was ' Old Gumbie Cat', this dances style is tap dance. We jumped straight in and began learning the dance she had choreographed at the beginning of the piece Beth (Jennyanydot) was standing on the catwalk and either side was an evenly divided class. We walked forward tap are feet 4 steps stops and the with our right foot tapped in front then to the the right, then with our left foot we tapped in front and then to our left; We did this in unison with our hands on our hips. We then dances 360 degrees anticlockwise whilst tapping alternate feet. After with opposite arms and legs we tapped in opposite directions i loved this move and think it was really affective from an audiences perspective. Another stand out movement for me was when people standing stage left move with there right leg pointing at a 45 degree angle and then tapping the floor with our toes whilst their arms diagonally downwards from left to right they do this 4 times whilst moving to the right. Whilst this is repeated on stage right but all the movements are retrogrades to the right. This looks really jolly and captures the motif and emotion in the song.
My penultimate stand out dance move Beth also choreographed in the song was when we get into a line of 5 facing the cat walk on stage left whilst the same happens stage right. Every other person is facing away from the cat walk we then turn with our arms linked and move clockwise whilst tapping our feet forward. This move looks really professionally well fully polished and i believe its a challenge we can master and as a class make this look really effective.
At the end of the song we all sing 'Oh She's a Jolly Good Fellow' and we all gather round her people at the front kneel then it gradually gets taller. The music suddenly changes and we all turn around anticlockwise on the spot and get back to the original pose around her with are arms out in a diagonal fashion. I thought this was good as she established a motif and a clear ending point for the song, this was assisted by a well established memorable pose.
In this lesson we also designed how the staging would be. As you can see from the diagram we have a cat walk to tie in with our fashion idea. This cat walk links on to the steps leading out to the audience, we wanted to actually connect the two so we felt as personal to the audience as possible. One of our aims when creating cats was to make the audience feel like they were a part of the story. The cat walk then connects to the staging on the left (view from diagram) this will be the office area in the designer house. We felt that it should be on that side as there is not much wing area behind it, and the main entrance to the stage we wanted to have an impact so made it tall (stage right staging). This leads me to the thought process behind the staging on the right. We wanted to create a few things from it, the stair case down to the designer house, which is what the stages theme is. We felt it was necessary for it to be a stair case as we wanted characters to enter with impact for example in Rum Tum Tugger he enters from the stair case and walks down in a dramatic fashion. 'Like he is god' a connotation of arriving from higher ground.
On the floor of the stage there will be clothing rails either side of the stage and also mirrors on stage left, this is to add to the theme of the fashion house. They are also used as props throughout the dances we have choreographed. The sides of the staging will be covered with sheets of wood which will be be painted to make the walls of the fashion house.

David Blaine Character Analysis
When we portray cats the musical we are changing the motif of it instead of it being set traditionally as cats we are putting on the show in the world of fashion. The task we were set involved finding a celebrity, fashion icon or model, we did this so we could link our cats character to a person in this industry. I based my character Quaxo on the American magician David Blaine. I did this because Quaxo takes to the stage and changes character into Mr Mistoffelees who is portrayed in cats as a magician.
David Blaine was born on April 4th 1973, he is a magician, illusionist and endurance artist. He is best known for his high impact tricks and has made his name by becoming a street performer and does close-up magic. He has performed all over the world breaking record and setting several world record.
Some of the tricks he has done includes, buried alive where on April 5th 1999 he emerged himself 9 foot underground with a water tank placed on-top so he could be seen in the public eye. When he did this trick he survived a week with no food and only 2-3 tablespoons a day. He was restricted in a coffin where he only had 6 inches to move his head. This is an example of David Blaine pushing the boundaries of magic and performing stunts that have never been seen before.
Another performance that David Blaine did which really captured my attention was a task he did called 'Frozen in Time'. In this trick he emerged himself in a transparent block of ice and remained there for 66 hours. He had to be cut free after this time using chainsaws. As soon as he came out of the block of ice, he was quickly wrapped in warm blankets and taken straight to hospital. He came out of the ice confused and disorientated and couldn't walk for a month after. This trick broke all world record, but said he would never attempt such a dangerous stunt again.
David Blaine does a lot for charity and helped hugely in the Haiti Appeal, this suggests that David Blaine. He also recently did a stunt where he wanted to give back to the people. This involved him standing in London and asking people for 5 pounds, most people ignored his request. A business man who Blaine asked gave him the 5 pounds it took almost 3 hours just to get 5 pounds off of the public. He spoke to his man and said finally some one has lent me a hand now I have something to pay you back by. He lifted his arms to the sky and money started raining from the clouds, thousands of pounds were falling and the people below scurried to pick them all up.
David Blaine usually wears practical and plain clothing, its almost a necessity for what he wears to be practical as his stunt involve being in these clothes for either long periods of time or involve a lot of movement. Quaxo my cats character is also quite plain until he transforms into Mr Mistoffelees where he then becomes a more flashy character in a light up jacket. When Mr Mistoffelees is on stage and all flashy, this is not like David Blaine he isn't a flashy person but he likes to draw peoples attention onto himself through his stage performances. The boldness of Mr Mistoffelees is portrayed with David Blaine's stunts.
Here is a picture of David Blaine, I got this image from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Blaine . As you can see he is in a plain grey t-shirt, and black trousers. David Blaine is usually put in outfits like this which are one block colour and usually in colours grey, white, black and brown. This is similar to Quaxo's costume in Broadway where he is in black and white. David Blaine and Quaxo wear similar colours, when David performs his tricks he usually decides to wear something smarter so matches his outfit with a smart black or brown jacket. This is similar to Quaxo who puts on his light up crystal jacket when performing, they still keep within the same guidelines of wearing a jacket when performing.
My researched was influenced by Wikipedia, David Blaine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Blaine [Last Accessed 2nd February] and Bing images, David Blaine http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=david+blaine&FORM=HDRSC2 [Last Accessed 2nd February] this allowed me to look at David Blaine's different outfits and understand more about him and his personality. This allowed me to gather information so I could make my own informative opinion about David Blaine.

Quaxo/ Mr. Mistoffelees Character Analysis
Mistoffelees is a main character in Andrew Lloyd Webber'sCats. He is featured in the song 'Magical Mister Mistoffelees'. In the London and some other productions, he is named "Quaxo, also called Mistoffelees", where his identity as The Magical Mister Mistoffelees remains a secret until his song.When Mistoffelees appears as a general chorus cat throughout the show, he is dressed slightly differently and often referred to as "Quaxo." This has lead to some confusion over whether Quaxo is Mistoffelees' alter ego, or the character's name is really Quaxo and he adopts the stage name of Mr. Mistoffelees while doing magic, or whether Quaxo and Mistoffelees are not the same cat at all. In the 1998 film credits, the character is credited as simply "Mistoffelees," and the credit shots include a shot of Quaxo/Mistoffelees in his Quaxo or chorus Mistoffelees costume. This costume differs from Mr. Mistoffelees' special costume in that it is less sparkly and includes white arm- and leg-warmers.In a few productions, Quaxo is a totally separate character from Mistoffelees, played by a different actor
He's quiet and small. I believe he's an adolescent, probably around 18 - 20 human years. He seems to be good friends with The Rum Tum Tugger and some believe that he and Victoria are mates, though I prefer to pair him up with Jemima, or no one at all.
Mr. Mistoffelees traditionally in a black and white tuxedo cat. His poem describes him as all black, however is portrayed as a black and white cat in the musical due to the technical limitations of stage lighting. He has a fluffy white bib and the suggestion of a bow tie/collar. For his big number he changes into a black velvet outfit covered in Swarovski crystals, with a jacket wired up with flashing lights. The tuxedo shape suggests a classic stage costume for a magician or conjuror performing tricks.
In the song "Magical Mister Mistoffelees", he is described as being a rather mysterious, clever and cunning conjuring cat, often found being mischievous or performing amusing antics. In some productions of cats, he is portrayed as a kitten and is young, still exploring his magical powers and not yet confident in himself.
In Cats, Mistoffelees is a principal role and maintains most of the same attributes as Eliot's original character, although he is much flashier. He has his own song and an extended dance solo in the second act of the show and in most productions also sings the "Invitation to the Jellicle Ball" in the first act. In the original London Cast, Mistoffelees also sang "The Old Gumbie Cat"; and in the original Broadway production, he sang "Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer". However, the song was reworked to allow those two characters to sing it themselves. He and Victoria dance to invite us to the Jellicle Ball.
In some versions of the musical, he is given a second name, 'Quaxo'. Often his "chorus" version is known as Quaxo, and his special song costume is known as Mistoffelees. Mistoffelees performs the most difficult choreography in the show, including 24 fouettés en tournant and dancers cast in the role generally have extensive ballet and gymnastic experience. As the role's technical demands necessarily trump the performer's vocal abilities, the show permits multiple vocal tracks for the character—thereby allowing some dancers to sing quite a bit, while others do no singing at all. He was also the second one to touch and smile at Grizabella and showed that he accept her back into the tribe and wave goodbye to her when she enter to the Heavisde Layer to be reborn.
As we are portraying cats in the world of fashion, I tried to think of a fashion icon or celebrity who would relate to my character Quaxo. I felt that there wasn't many fashion icons who could relate to my character so I went for a celebrity who Is a magician I did this because Quaxo takes the character of Mr Mistoffelees of a stage magician. The magician I chose was David Blaine, he is a well known magician who pushes the boundaries of magic and illusion.

First 'Cats' Lesson
In todays lesson we all chose a song that we wanted to explore and choreograph. It didn't have a to your characters main song and it didn't have to be a song which your character is in. I chose Invitation to the Jellicle Ball, my character takes an active role in the beginning of the song and i felt like i could adapt this song so it portrays the world of fashion which is our motif for cats.
This song begins with all the cats on stage and then i begin on the cat walk and then go off into the dressing room area i do this with enthusiasm and excitement as all the cats are about to get an invite. The choreography arranged in the dressing area there will be a lot of movement with the props and clothe rails here. Then Munkustrap comes on and enters on the catwalk with invitations in his hands gives a few out to the cats next to the runway he then walks with purpose to the office block. Invitations are given out to all, well Munkustrap has finished in the office he returns to the top of the runway and the rest of the cats then gather round him facing outwards in a circle; they all should be grounded. Munkustrap continues to sing and then on the line 'who will it be' all the cats whisper the repeat and gesture there arms out towards the audience. At the end all the cats then come up to Munkustrap and thank him for the invitation in an un-orderly fashion.
As we were put into groups for the lesson in our group each one of us had a song to focus on, so that was the song i focused on. We also focused on the song 'Jellicle Songs For Jellicle Cats.' For this we themed the song so that it was like the preparation for the catwalk show so all the models were getting ready it begins and its calm the preparations only just begun. Then as the song continues on it gets more and more hectic and people are rushing around making sure the last minute alterations are complete. When the song opens there are 4 clothing rails 2 on one side of the catwalk and 2 on the other. Everyone is frozen until the first person sings then in canon each person at the clothing rails comes to life. After the canon is finished other people begin to come into the scene. The unordered chaos begins and people rush around the stage in time to the music trying on clothes and adjusting hair.
The third song we looked at was 'Gus The Theatre Cat'. This song is a rather slow song and goes on for 6 minutes plus. At the beginning of the song models are lined up from 3 different entrances but do not enter yet. Gus and Jellyorum enter down the runway and Gus sits or stands at the end of the catwalk whilst Jellyorum sings around him. At this stage the models are just watching as Jellyorum sing to Gus. As Gus starts to sing the models walk on slowly holding masquer masks over there faces the first model walks on and does a slow curtsy the second model comes on and swings her arms and leg around in a circle then the third model comes on and does another movement then all is repeated at the same time. This whole motif is then repeated using 3 different actions. After the motif has been repeated all the cats gather round the sides of the catwalk and listens to Gus
The final song we looked at was 'Growl-tiger's Last Stand' In this song the boat will act as the pirate ship and i believe set should be basic but built up around the sides so it takes shape of a pirate ship. Then the two main characters sing whilst cats in the office, dressing rooms begin a choreographed sword fight dance and this is the main motif for this song. People then gather round the ship and outbreak again into pairs and sword fight.
This lesson was really productive and we managed to establish themes and motifs for each song and managed to block movements and spacing for each song.
