For my production role I was given the task of props and costume. To fit our theme of ravers and the DJ set up, I looked into bright colours and bold prints for our costumes. Like the pictures above. These I think would work really well for our basic clobbers outfits, which everyone would be wearing during the chorus numbers. I think that these costumes could also be used for most of the characters within the play, and just can be adapted with small items to define character.
As I am playing Dr Faustus in the second half of the show, I thought about the costume that he may where. As it is later on in Faustus' life he would have more success. I thought of ways to show this to an audience, and the most successful that I came up with was to make a "Dr F" brand, with the logo. I made some shirts with the logo on them to show his wealth in the play, this matched with some basic clothes made it look quite expensive and also made it stand out from the other characters.
My second production role that I took on was the set and props during the play. I began by thinking how we can make a set, that still fits with the style of the theatre and goes of the tradition of minimalism in Elizabethan theatre. The theatre space that we are performing at has three skenes at the back of the stage, which we could hang some backdrops off them, I then went on to design the drops, it was mainly made up of the "DrF" logo with colourful splatters over it to fit in with the colour schemes that we are going off of.
