  • Read the Journal
    Journal Jesse Bia Professor Peck ENG 252 2/5/2009 Introduction This journal is designed to be both objective and subjective at the same time. The focus of each entry is what I felt the Director’s vision for each particular show, was regardless of the previous histories of representation; the focus is on just the specific versions of the shows we have seen. Once laying out what I believe this vision to be, which is essentially my thesis, I then look at the various aspects of the show which contribute to or detract from the stated vision and goal for each production. Each entry is divided into four parts, the first three of which are meant to be object and thus written in a more academic matter, and last fourth meant to be subjective and thus written slightly less formally. These four parts are as follows: Overall Synopsis and Director’s Vision: In this section I briefly lay out and define what I feel the Director’s vision for the show, and what overall message the show was trying to deliver; essentially, what was the goal of the show itself. Setting: In the setting section I focus on the various sets, props, chronological placement (time in history in which show takes places), lighting, sound, music and even the actual theatre itself, to see how these physical aspects of the show contribute to the overall goal and vision of the show. Audience and Intention: Here I focus on two things. Firstly, who is this show designed for? Adults, children, or both? A certain nationality perhaps? Secondly, I focus on the actor’s performance, their stage directions, and the overall presenting of the play, to see how this contributes to the overall vision and goal of the show.
