For this meeting, we were each delegated tasks to work on regarding the show. These tasks included: budgeting, scheduling and practicing the black eye for the character Audrey. These tasks all hold individual importance. Budgeting gives us an outlook on approximately how much would be spent on the show, scheduling is important for finding out who would be working on which character and on what night, therefore if anyone is going to be absent on either of the nights, we will have enough time to find someone to help us out. Practicing Audrey’s black eye is important as we will know who can create it on the performance nights and how big it will need to be to stand out to the audience, as well as how well it will show underneath the stage lights.

Isobel, Kassie, Emily and Leah worked together to create and develop a schedule for the show. The schedule consisted of information about who will be working on the nights, the characters everyone will be working on and the times we need to be there and the times in which we will be starting the hair and makeup. This will help to give us a general idea of how much time we will all have to finish the hair and makeup before the show starts. This also shows good communication skills and teamwork as we have all discussed together availability on the nights.

Francesca, Hannah and Eleanor worked on the black eye needed for Audrey, as well as seeing how it looks under the lights and the products they will need to use. Creating the black eye contributes to the performance as, once again, it gives us a general idea of the size it will need to be to be able to be seen underneath the stage lights and in front of the audience. This also helps us figure out who can do the black eye on the night, just in case someone is absent.

Paige, Stephen and I collaborated on the budget for the show. The budget sheet we used was divided into five different sections: product code, product brand/description, quantity, cost per item and total. The ‘product code’ section is where we should’ve put the code of the product as stated on the website, the ‘product brand/description’ is the name of the product (for example: Beautybay EYN Matte Brights would be the name of the product), the ‘quantity’ section refers to how many of each product we will be needing for each actor/to share between the actors, the ‘cost per item’ is the individual cost of each product, and the ‘total’ is how much the products will cost once multiplied by the quantity needed, as well as the overall total.

To begin with, I gathered the names of the products used from the face charts we had previously created and wrote them down in the ‘product brand/description’ section on the budget sheet. Paige, Stephen and I then worked together to figure out the quantity of each product needed for each actor and recorded this in the ‘quantity’ section of the sheet. I then gathered the individual prices for each of the products and recorded this in the ‘cost per item’ section whilst Paige worked out the total of each of the products and recorded this in the ‘total’ section. This contributes to the show as it is important to know which products we will be using, as well as how much they will all cost.
