1st November 2015 - annotating my script preparation

Annotating my script preparation 

Upon being given the shared role of deputy stage manager for the show in February, I have been preparing myself and my job role as much as possible. I have been working fairly independently in my job role and have begun to adapt my script and write notes to benefit me in the planning process. Last year in this job role, I found that annotating my script with different codes was a big help in the lead up to the show and then colour coding it at a later date to make certain details definitive. I began by drawing up a list of topics that I wanted to highlight within my script which I decided was:

·         Costume notes

·         Hair and makeup notes

·         Lighting notes and potential cues

·         Sound notes and potential cues

·         Stage directions and blocking

·         Entrances

·         Exits

·         Special effects

·         Key events

·         Visuals

·         Notes and questions
