We did not have an official tech rehearsal, I practiced make-up on our actors, Sarah told us what costumes to bring, Robin made sure he had all the sounds, Abrar made sure that all the lighting was good and Saif made sure he would have the props for the final performance. However, I will reflect on my make-up rehearsal with everyone.
What I used this lesson was the make-up packages provided in drama class and used some of my own make-up including certain lipstick, foundation, and eyeliner (primarily for me and Sarah). The intention of the make-up designs is to show what kind of characters everyone is and to enhance these characters alongside costume, lighting, sound, set and script. Also, the make-up and hair will emphasize the concept (which is to show how easy it is for one to become corrupt and drag others down with him/her) and to show in what time period the play is set in (1950's). In this rehearsal I felt like I was on my way to representing these things. The male characters both quite looked like characters from 1950 movies such as grease because they both had side burns, and a little pouf in the front of their hair. Both the female characters in our play (Sarah and I) had certain make-up and hair traits that really symbolized the 1950's hair and make-up (the big volumnous hair and the eyes which were quite dark), therefore I feel like I am well on my way to succesfully representing our intention and concept of the play.
Since Saif did not look much like a man who is corrupt and would do deals illegally (his character), I needed to think of something that would make him look a bit more adult and grown up and corrupt. So, I decided to add a small moustache, which in the end added better to see that he is corrupt and made him look a bit more like the character he is playing. Also, since there are two character changes on the girl characters (both for Sarah and I) I decided that the make-up would stay the same after seeing the costumes because both the costumes would fit with both the make-up and hair designs and the make-up and hair enhances all the different character types which is why I changed it to being just one make-up design for each character .
(underline is the changes I made to my original designs today)
I need to apply Saif's moustache with more care because I was running out of time and decided to do it rush rush just to see how it would look. For the final performance I will need to take the time to do it so that it looks even on both sides and actually sticks on properly. Also, I used a peachy color for Robin which made him look too pink, so I need to change that color to something a bit less peachy pinky.
I got feedback that the foundation color for Saif looked very natural and that the sideburns looked quite natural as well when on stage, also, people commented on how Sarah looked like she was evil of somewhat which is good since it shows that the make-up is giving it's desired effect on people. However, people did comment on Saif's moustache which I will make better for the final performance and I will spend more time on it for the final performance like suggested. Overall this make-up rehearsal went quite well for me and I was able to test all of my designs under the lighting of the stage as well and so now I am able to succesfully create the final designs for our final performance next week.
