The document discusses the role of a theatre designer in creating sets, costumes, and props for theatrical productions based on analyzing and interpreting the dramatic text. The designer's process involves moving between immersive creative work and stepping back for critical assessment to ensure their designs align with the production's goals and collaborators' contributions. Theatre is a multi-sensory experience involving several elements the designer must consider.
How theatre designers interpret dramatic texts to craft sensory experiences
1. HOW DOES YOUR PRODUCT ENGAGE
WITH AUDIENCES AND HOW IT WOULD
BE DISTRIBUTED AS A REAL MEDIA TEXT?
IN THE CREATION OF A THEATRE PRODUCTION THE PERSON WHO DECIDES WHAT THE
PERFORMERS WILL WEAR, WHAT KIND OF ENVIRONMENT THEY WILL INHABIT, AND ON
THE OBJECTS OR PROPS WITH WHICH THEY ENGAGE, IS USUALLY CALLED A THEATRE
DESIGNER. THE DRAMATIC TEXT, HOWEVER, IS STILL DOMINANT IN THE MAJORITY OF UK
THEATRE MAKING AND IN THESE CASES THE THEATRE DESIGNER WILL ANALYSE AND
INTERPRET THE DRAMATIC TEXT. THE THEATRE DESIGNER’S PROCESS CAN BE COMPARED
TO THAT OF A PAINTER WHO MOVES BETWEEN WORKING ON THEIR PAINTING AND
STANDING BACK TO VIEW IT FROM A DISTANCE. DURING THE DESIGN PROCESS THE
DESIGNER WILL BE CONSTANTLY MOVING BETWEEN BEING ABSORBED IN THE CREATIVE
PROCESS AND BEING CRITICAL; ASSESSING, JUDGING AND ADJUSTING THEIR DESIGNS IN
RELATION TO WHAT THE AIMS OF THE PRODUCTION ARE, AND WHAT ELSE IS BEING
CONTRIBUTED BY THEIR COLLABORATORS. A THEATRE PERFORMANCE IS A SENSORY
EXPERIENCE INVOLVING VISION, SOUND, LIGHT, TEXTURE, TIME, MOVEMENT AND SPACE,
ALL OF WHICH A DESIGNER NEEDS TO CONSIDER.
2. TARGET AUDIENCE QUESTIONAIRE
To decode what people think about to expect to predict in drama genre.
I used secondary research methods of form to select different set of questions
related to the drama genre, from various researches that already had been
After checking a range of various questions to go against the view of the
in pre existing questions. I climaxed that drama was the best from all the genres.
Some people of various ages and gender participated in the research.
3. Dramas are often portrayed
much in the cinemas because
this is how they are promoted
and also the drama are not
horror so they can be viewed
too many people.
4.
5. Movie presents realistic yet fictional story. Its real scene of
the story demonstrates women going for the interview in
fashion company so its simple drama but argumentative.
Its not portraying any historical event story instead it is
drama. Its showing the good mise en scene and
presenting fashion.
6. There is its showing some introduction of the characters
and its portraying the opening scene of fashion designing
company and suspense in the starting to motivate others
to watch the part 2 of the movie too and gets involved in
the story. The little bit hatred is shown in the film as best
opening scene to represent the whole afterwards story.
My opening scene determines the character and setting
introduced. The actors character they are rich or
underpriveled all shown in fast pace shots. Both are
getting dressed and then the jealousy hatred is being
potrayed in the end that one colleague over turns the cup
of water of innocent girl to mould the dress. Characters
are introduced through closeup shots and not revealed
faces to create suspence that which girl is poor and which
is rich.
7. Upon the completion of the final movie. I had to put in the ways in which it can be
distributed within a restricted budget finite budget.
Whatever, my contrasting research on warner bros which generates millions of
budget every year it distributes its movies in blu ray, DVDs and streaming sites to
different distributors in many countries also they have many subsidiaries overseas
to whom they distributes themselves movies too.
for an individual maker like me with no connection with any distributors. I took
digital/social media to ne the most practical source of distribution to exhibit my
potential as a film maker it was sufficient for me to distribute it on instagram and
YouTube.
Social media appeared to be a magnificent aid to cabinet
film to masses including many people around the world.
YouTube being the first digital media where I uploaded my
final media video gained 21 views in 2 hours.
After this then i created page on Instagram with “the
green-eyed” name and i uploaded it o igtv in which i got
260 vies in 3 hours and 15 comments.

with people through different mediums which aided me to represent my movie

maker. For everything cant be perfect and life taches you how to grow
