During the first nine weeks of Theatre two i learned how to properly use the power screwdriver which is to press the back of the screwdriver, keeping it straight the best you can. Another thing i learned is how to build a platform, using 2x6 planks to build a frame then using 2x4 for the braces. I also learned to measure twice and cut once. One on the ground, and one up on the saw.
I really liked how you spoke about measuring twice and cutting once because that is a very crucial part of the class. And if we don't do that then that will lead to many more problems later on.
Three things I learned in Theater 2 during the first 9 weeks is taking measurements, leaning how to drill and how to cut wood. For measuring, you need to remember to "measure twice and cut once." If you cut a piece that's too long then you can always fix it but if you cut it too short, there's no way to repair it. Learning how to drill was a little difficult for me because I would forgot to use the guide. While drilling you always have to use the guide so the screw wont go in sideways. Sawing wood was the most exciting thing to learn. When sawing, remember to always wear eye protection, and make sure you have your thumb on the safety and your fingers on the trigger and make sure you pull both at the same time.
In the first nine weeks of being a Theater 2 I have learned a lot. I learned to to be more ambitious, the different types of wood and why we use them, and how to properly use a drill to assemble and disassemble pieces. Along with this I learned how to properly draw a ground-plan, brain storm ideas for a set, and the different types of drill bits.
I learned to take the initiative to want to learn and to want to help. Not hiding behind the curtain really benefits you in learning so you don't look stupid when you actually have to do something. For the wood we use 2x4 instead of 2x6 because it is lighter and cheaper. When you drill you should also go in with the pilot first and then put the screw in a little bit to make sure that it is straight. And that you should also use the guide when possible.
In the upcoming term I would like to learn more about the building process of a set. This nine weeks we mainly focused on brainstorming what we were going to do for the set. This was a challenge that we had to overcome. So, next nine weeks I am definitely excited to start building the set. It is going to be difficult so I want to know how to properly do it using construction safety.
In theater 2, I learned that you absolutely have to always be focused; because if you even space out for a second, there's a possibility you just missed out on something super important. Another thing I learned was that we never ever use nails because you can't take them out easily or without breaking the wood. For my third thing, I learned that wood is very, very expensive so we have a rule about cutting the wood. "Measure twice, cut once', because once you cut it, there's no going back. If you cut the wood too short we can't use it. As for the upcoming term, I'd like to experience more hands on with cutting, screwing and taking apart sets for school plays.
So far as a theater 2 student I have learned many things. From the simple things such as the difference between a 2 inch screw and a 3 inch to things more serious like learning how to correctly draw a ground plan to scale based off of certain sets and ideas needed. Most importantly I learned the true importance of working together as a team in order to successfully build a proper set that allows the actors and actresses to safely perform.
These things are all very important for many reasons. Something as simple and small as a 1 inch difference between a 2 inch screw and a 3 inch screw can mean the difference between the set crashing down and becoming a safety hazard. Drawing a proper ground plan is very important because it relativity gives you an idea as to how your set is going to look once you've properly built it. Working together is one of the most important things because building a set and having ideas is incredibly hard to do all by yourself.
Now that i've learned the true importance behind the small things in theater 2 and the big things, I can properly build a set that allows the actors to perform their play to the fullest of their power. And this also keeps me from making as many mistakes because I now know the things not to do and things to do.
I agree on how all those things are important because if you don't do what you are told the right way, you can cause somebody to get hurt or ruin the whole project.
Three things that Iv'e learned in the first 9 weeks of being a theater two is how to drill, the different sizes of wood, and how to use a power saw.
I learned what the 2x4, 2x6, 2x2, and 2x10's are of the sizes of wood. Also, I learned how to properly drill. I now can drill without making the ebony scream. All you have to do is line up the screw and push the guide down and apply pressure. Lastly, I learned how to use the power saw. You have to use eye protection, line up the lazier with the line you made, and you press the button and push down.
In all, now i can apply this to building the best set that coach wants. Later on in life for the next plays I can help with building the set because now I know that I can now.
I learned how to use the drill properly, learning how set building takes time, and learning measurements is key for the class. To properly drill you first need to grab a battery and insert it in the drill, then make sure to push the button where you wanna drill it if you wanna drill into something it will go the the right if want to pull out a screw then it will go to the left. Always make sure to push when using the drill. Set Building is time consuming, you have to get the measurements first of the thing your building on ,the stage, and then also make a ground plan so you have an idea where to put different things. Measurements are needed for everything we do in the class, we need them to make sure you make something small or large but also for the ground plan to get an idea
One of the things I learned during the first 9 weeks was that it is always important to use the guide when you're drilling. The reason for that is so the screw will go in straight. One of the other things I learned was the measure twice cut once rule. Basically make sure the measurement is accurate so you can avoid wasting wood.
The third thing I learned that when doing a dual interpretation, you have to be able to remember the whole script and you can't rush through it, you have to make sure there are pauses and enthusiasm between your script as in if that's your real life role you play in this world.
Experience that I would like to gain from this upcoming term is to be involved in more hands on activities such as drilling and sawing things. I also want to gain more knowledge on how to safely construct and take apart a set.
I learned this 9 weeks is that there is no room for mistakes but there is always room to improve. There is no room for mistakes because if you cut something incorrectly it will mess up the whole piece. Yet not having mistakes doesn't mean that you can't improve. By watching and engaging, you can improve what you know and your skills.
There are also things I have learned that patients is key. There will be people who won't work. There will be people who are slower than others but will get it done the right way. Once something is done, it is done. as prop manager, I have to be on time and constantly trying to find what to use and what will work. You have to substitute.
In the next 9 weeks I'd like to be more hands on. Like screwing and being hands on in the project ,instead of watching others do it. I want to be engaged with what we are doing. This is one of my favorite classes, so I'd like to get into everything we are doing.
I learned this 9 weeks that being able to make mistakes is not gonna be able to be a thing. We should be ready to not make mistakes and learn how to be careful with every cut that we make. The key is to be cautious and alert.
Most people move too fast , I have learned to take my time and make sure that everything is in place and not out of order. The main goal is to get the project done within a time frame. By making sure everything is good by measuring twice and cutting once.
I would like to learn more and more like how to measure things properly. I wanna be able to be more hands on with the material that we are giving. I also wanna feel pressured just to know what it would feel like , because in the real world pressure is a thing and it would be applied to us very soon due to us leaving a year.
In my first nine weeks and a theater two I have learned many things and of them are drawing a ground plan, Drilling, and measuring. The first thing I learned being how to drill, at first I was skeptical about all the warnings but after watching and drilling I now know what I need to proceed with caution, now I know that I should always use the guard and start with the pilot. The second thing I learned being measuring, with measuring I remember they saying "Measure twice cut once" this meaning that you should double even triple check measures if you are not sure. You can only cut one so you HAVE to be sure you have the right measurements. The third thing I learned would be how to correctly draw a ground plan too scale, it may sound simple but it really isn't. In order to correctly sketch a ground plan I need to know all of the measurements plus have common sense on house things look. If something looks wrong for example the stage in my drawn looks like a pregnant women then I should re sketch it to really suite the stage. In my future as a theater two I would like to learn more about measuring. I know how to do it but it would be great to have more 'field experience'.
