Performance and Director
A director is in charge of all aspects of the production, a director’s job is to tie up all performance element together. The director must have vision of how should the character moves, the lighting that help enhance the mood of the play, the sets and props.

As an Actor we often find problem such as, don’t know how to pose our hand, where to stand and which way to walk. We are “floating” in the stage, because we are not sure what our role is. Then it is the director’s role to direct and told the actor what to do so they will not be “floating” anymore.

First the director have to read and understand the script, know what is the meaning of the play, understand each character in the play so that he or she can make choice or decision during rehearsal.

The next step is to start rehearsal. Director have to position actors on stage. Usually the director will decide where is the 5 acting area, but it can be more. For example for realistic play, the 5 acting area can be sofa, kitchen, dining table, bed, beside window, and etc. A director will start to draw the set in a groundplan.
When a play is directed by a good director, the audience won’t get distracted by something or someone else on the play. A good director can provide focus of the play, where the audience should see and focus on. If the audience get distracted or confuse during the play, it’s the director’s fault.

A play is symbolic, it’s artificial. All the elements of the play on the stage is symbolic. The actor represent another person on the stage. The set and probs is symbolic too, because it represent the chair in the play storyline. Then why people go to see a play? Because we can relate the play to us in the real world.

    I think that the members of the technical crew are mainly technical, executing what the Director of Photography tells them to do and the Director's vision. However, the D.O.P. definitely has the most creative freedom out of all of the roles, in my opinion. As cinematography is their passion, they know what looks good on camera and can be innovative in what they shoot (of course, if the director says that it is okay) to make different shots unique and creative. In addition, sometimes the Gaffer and Sound Mixer can be creative for the film's benefit. Last semester, I worked on a film set in which I witnessed the Director, Gaffer, and Sound Mixer working together to solve problems on set. The Gaffer and Sound Mixer would give suggestions on the placement/coloring of the lights or different sounds to capture. Even though the Director's vision and creativity are the most important, the Gaffer and Sound Mixer do have a bit of room to be creative in order to help the shoot.…

    Theatre-goers attend shows to be deceived. As an active member of the audience, attendees are asked to suspend disbelief. The role of the audience is just as important as that of the actor, in that without the other, there is no production. From the moment the audience is transported into the realm of the play, there is not a clear picture of the “real” world and the fantastical. When we fall in love, or go crazy, go to the theatre or fall asleep and dream, we enter the realm of the imagination. This happens even when we choose to look beyond performance at intention.…

    What exactly is a Production Manager (PD)? Also referred to as Theatre or Stage Production Managers. The Production Manager is responsible for the actualization of the director’s vision for the production and forming a production team capable of doing so. I basically have to manage people and objects. In large productions the Production Manager can hire a Technical Director (TD) and/or Stage Manager (SM) in order to delegate responsibilities to them. However, for a fairly small production such as Green Man Flashing (five actors) I would assume the Production Manager would take on the responsibilities of two positions or even all three. The duties…
