Calculating and estimating a budget for the 2015 End Of Year production “Grimms Tales”

150 audience member per night

7 shows

= 1050 audience members in total

£10 per ticket (x 1050)

= £10500

100% of budget - £10500

90%- £9450

80%- £8400

70%- £7350

60%- £6300

Budget Requirements:

Set Design-----£400

Construction-----£900

Lighting-----£700

Sound inc batteries----N/A

AV---N/A                                  

Props-----£800

Special effects----N/A

Costume-----£3000

Music-----N/A

Contingency/Misc %5---- £500

Total = £6300

As Grimms tales is a show being performed at a college, I realised that staffing costs are not applicable due to the student playing roles as “CSM” ‘DSM” and “ASM” for educational reasons and are being funded by the college rather than being paid a working wage.

Roles in a sound team

Head of sound- communicates with directors, in charge of bugdet and team, source things for shows Head of sound pick sound team deligate different people for different jobs. 

Sound designer- They produce a sound design and are in charge of speaker placement, in charge of get in and outs, source and create sound effects (foley work). They create the playlist and creates cues. They talk to head of sound about budget swell as communicate with the sound team, and talk to the producers about budget aswell as communicate with the set design team to negotiate speaker placement within in the shows set.

Sound 1- They operates shows, (board operation).They are in charge of things that the designer asks for. They are also in charge of things being lifted and put away in get out, communicate with sound designer aswell as sound 2+ 3. 

Sound 2- This role is similar to sound 1 as they can also take responsibility operating the desk, running cues, but they also check radio mic sound levels and battery levels. 

Sound 3- They have the role of communicating with the cast members that wear radio mics during shows, they dress the performers in the radio mics initially before shows, and constantly check the secureness of the mics on their faces, as well as deal with mic fault and breaks as well as battery  changes  .

These individual responsibilities can vary from show to show, for example in big musicals sound 3 may considered a more important role than sound 2, as they are responsible for a lot of microphones and sound 2 will only help them or operate or be on book cueing sound 1 during shows.

During Animal Farm where we had a sound team of 5 so these sound team roles varied as we took shifts each night. We all initially acted as sound designers as we rigged and tested the sound rig independently, our lecturer acted as the head of sound.

 We would either be operating and mixing the band as well as the 3 microphones that were in use (acting as sound 1); operating sound effects as well as cueing the microphone cues and telling sound 1 when the band came in and out of a scene (acting as a sound 2), or in the corridor being responsible for the 3 actors wearing mics and dressing in their mics before and have them taken off of them afterwards (sound 3).

skills required to be a DSM

Skills needed to function as a DSM inculde having a full understanding of the show and knowing the dances visually inside out. This is why I originally filmed the rehearsals and counted out the beats to each section of the dances so that I would have a better understanding of the show. Doing this ended up being very helpful as during the teching process I was very knowledgeable about each dance and found it very easy to queue the show. Also a DSM needs other skills such as time keeping and knowing what is happening all the time during the rehearsal period. This is why I was always asking the tech team aswell and the dance directors when and where they wanted to do show runs and rehearsals. Then I wrote all this imformation on the rehearsal calls and emailed it each person so that everyone was awake of what was going on. During the performance process a good DSM will give advise or help during the show if someone needs help or if there is an issue. For example during the show when the desk was lagging and few cues were occasionally skipped, but I kept the lighting operator calm by telling them to stay where they were rather than going back to cues because this could make the situation worse, also I was able to co-ordinate the lighting operator when cues were missed by making them "goto" cues rather than making them skip through each cue until they found the right one. I also made sure that the floor was mopped occasionally to make sure that the dancers wouldn't fall over or slip during the shows. I made sure that the wings were tidy and any cables or obstacles what taped down and that there was glow tape on the floor so that there were no casualties backstage or coming onto the stage.

working effectively in the development of ideas

We all listened to the music as a group and then we sat down and discussed our ideas we spent 2 days just discussing our ideas and began designating jobs. Bill and I were designated sound but we did all of the stencils in our box and most of the painting, I built the plain out of plywood with help from billy, covered it in newspaper and painted it and it is now mounted to the wall I also sorted out lighting for the box I selected tells based on colour theory red gels make the colour of the spray paint (laser red ) pop and make it more vibrant "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour theory" we used red gels in one half of the box and a uv cannon in the other half in the uv half we had bungee stretched between points at random painted in florescent paint as well as the crack that bill made that is also painted in florescent colours. In the Jupiter box I t made us think of patriotic, diamond jubilee and street parties. This box was painted white with union jacks on the walls with a table to one side and a thrown on the left (made by jack) made from a 2 and a half feet tall block and pillars and flat wood painted gold and sprinkled with glitter the table is decorated with plates and crystal wine glasses which will have water in them and a tea bag dipped in them this simulates white wine.
