The crowd was mostly full of older men and women. It was a very small play house but it put on a good show. The audience was a small group of people because the theater was not very big. The actors and actresses were older and mature which help to create a great play about the proof. This play is in the Genre of drama and mystery.

The play took place exclusively in Bernard’s apartment living room. The European style apartment was realistic, yet simple with limited distractions. The apartment had wooden floors, carpet, a window, a desk, a sofa, and multiple exits and entrances. Although the window was subtle, it added depth and context to the stage. When it was nighttime, the audience could see that it was dark outside and when it was daytime, the window was lit accordingly.
Lastly, in Edward Scissor hands when Peg, the Avon lady went into Edward’s mansion and went up the stairs there was lots of low key lighting which made you think something/someone scary was going to be waiting for her at the top of those stairs. This was also very effective in the plot of the film. Griggs/2 Tim Burton also uses color in a very strategic way. For example, in Corpse Brides Burton uses black, white, and gray colors to create a very dull mood in the living world. In contrast, in the underworld he uses bright, happy colors that create a very exciting and happy mood.
In that play’s first act we watch a black man who has fashioned a career for himself: He sits in an arcade impersonating Abraham Lincoln and letting people come and play at shooting him dead—like John Wilkes Booth shot our sixteenth president in 1865 during a performance at Ford’s Theatre. So I was thinking about my old play when another black Lincoln impersonator, unrelated to the first guy, came to mind: a new character for a new play. This time I would just focus on his home life. This new Lincoln impersonator’s real name would be Lincoln. He would be a former 3-card monte hustler.
The Crucible Essay Arthur Miller’s play ‘The Crucible’ is an allegory because of the McCarthy trials in the 1950’s that relate to the witchcraft suspicions in Salem. Throughout my essay I am going to explore and analyse the moments of tension that has a big influence on the audience during the play. At the beginning of the act in the setting the writer uses the stage direction ‘...the room is empty...’ When the curtains opened and all the audience could see was an empty room on stage, it made the audience question what was going to happen. As well as the act opening with an empty solemn room, the actors did not enter the stage floor immediately. They just simply read their lines in the wings of the stage.
When W.S goes into his room he dims the television screen but can’t turn it fully off, as it says in chapter one “ Winston turned a switch at the sound on the telescreen sank somewhat, thought the words were still distinguishable. He knew it was watching him. This again is abnormal, nowadays it is against the law to spy on someone via there television but in this amazing novel George Orwell does write about people “spying” on people throughout the novel. My fourth dystopian detail is what the main character W.S says “every human is doomed to die.” Here, George Orwell has chosen his wording very carefully, giving Winston's statement as
Yahweh Matuguinas Instructor: Graham Bell English 111 31 January 2012 A Summary of the Essay “Sit Down and Shut Up, or Don’t Sit by Me” In the essay, “Sit Down and Shut up, or Don’t Sit by Me,” Dennis Dermody states his observations of some of the audiences’ bad behaviors before and while watching a movie in a theater. Dermody also classifies some groups of people according on how they behave inside the movie theater. He calls them the “chatterers”, “krinklers” and “unending box of popcorn people” (183-184). Dermody describes the readers his habit of making it to the movies at least half an hour before it starts. He does that just because he gets amused by observing how the audiences choose a place to sit along with their bad behaviors the movie.
After Jock was dismissed as coach, Laurie later assumed his position as the new coach and a bitter Jock tried to sabotage the club to the best of his ability to get back at Laurie. To differentiate his play from the critically acclaimed ones before him Kennedy decided to push his minimalist ideals to the max. The set consisted of a single post about 2m tall towards the centre back of the stage to simulate a door way among other things such as a coat hook. The only other prop used was a beautiful handmade Italian oak dining table placed in the centre of the stage, all the action unfolded around this table. That was it the actors only wore drama blacks and the background was unfurnished, it was a risky move on Kennedy’s part but ultimately paid off as the set really was a manifestation of what the play is about, no fancy lighting of costumes just characters real relatable interacting characters which I feel is what really makes a play of film or TV show, for example look at the award winning Game of Thrones series it real reason for the appeal and hype isn’t the action, the gore, the nudity, it’s the characters and their relations.
Ghost Stories From the minute the audience walks into the auditorium of ghost stories, you are automatically pulled into this horror world, having nine chalked numbers on the walls, tape from beam to beam, spider webs, flickering lights, and a low echoing sound as well as on the stage “Safety Curtain” backdrop immediately making the audience more aware of what they are about to see. When the play begins, it is not obvious as to what “part” the audience were playing. If an audience member were blindly sitting watching the show having no idea about the concept of the play, it would be thought that an actor (to only be in the play temporarily) appeared on stage to firstly inform the audience of ghosts (or of how it is physiological as to whether these ghosts exist). This has two different effects on the audience, firstly it calms because you are aware that it is not a full on horror show (conflicted because of videos to aware audience of your possible reactions), but it also makes the audience really think about what the actor is saying. The audience felt automatically connected and engaged with the actor because of the eye contact and large images used to explain the actors point.
