ASSIGNMENTS

  1. Graded Assignments: There is no excuse for late assignments. If you have an insurmountable problem, call me (office: 1321) or E-mail before the assignment is due and I will help you make other arrangements. A call after the assignment is due will not help (this means a "0").
  2. Make-up Morgue: With each graded lab, submit a minimum of four (4) pictures from magazines, newspapers, etc. Morgues presented on time, appropriately mounted on construction or other heavy paper and placed in a notebook or portfolio will get full credit (2 pts.). Be prepared to analyze your morgues orally.
  3. Lab Hours: During this semester, you will be assigned as a make-up assistant for one of The Players Productions. One week after the close of your show you must turn in a 1 page report detailing your work on the production. A grade will be given for your participation. As a team you are required to inventory makeup supplies, analyze the production requirements, order makeup at least 2 weeks prior to "tech" (through the T.D.), attend rehearsals and performances and assist in making up the performers.
  4. Cards: Annotated reading cards, submitted for each play. Annotations are to include, but are not limited to:
    1. Your name, play's title and author,
    2. genre, theme, and period, number of acts/ scenes, and settings.
    3. Major characters with a character analysis, total number of men and women.
    4. Synopsis including dramatic structural elements: point of attack, crises, climax, and denouement.
    5. Your critical evaluation of the text and makeup requirements
    called for by the script.

     

  5. Reviews: During the semester, you need to see two (2) shows: plays, films or television specials (other than work done here at Millsaps). Written reviews will be at least 2 pages, typed, including a specific analysis of make-up techniques used, and your evaluation of the success or failure of those techniques.
Do NOT give a plot summary or acting review;
we are interested in a make-up analysis and evaluation!
