If we were allowed extra things to develop our piece such as money, time and more here is what I would do.
Focussing on if were to retrieve more money I would allow us to have more intricate set because it would be more impressive, help create more imagery like the hound dogs for example we could create puppets, like the animals within the Lion King or the Horse in War Horse, this would all be achievable because we would be able to afford the supplies we would need as well as bigger transport for there and back. Having the bigger transport actually creates numerous amounts of opportunities for the production, like props, sound systems, lights and even costumes if we wanted changes within the show.
Costumes is something I would defiantly invest in changing if I could or maybe more adapt to them, there was quite an original steampunk theme to our costumes but got lost through the process due to lack of sewing abilities and correct materials, therefore I would invest in the correct outfits, steampunk still being a very fashionable style these days there are many seamstresses who make all different outfits and accessories to size and style and colour therefore I think would really make our performance more edgy and professional looking.
I would definitely look into more cast for chorus roles, with something like magic of a theme, more people can make it effective. For example within the banquet scene we only had three ghouls over powering 5 people which was unrealistic, g=having more of them and more dramatic costumes you could make them interactive with the audience making it more lively and dynamic. Also for things like the ship wreck and mariners would allow for it to seem less vast and have more of an atmosphere.
Going back to set and props I would invest in getting either a real tree or a more realistic one to give the authentic feel as well as the magical forest vibe, I would either hire someone to do so or we could then invest in something like fairy lights or just small likes and infuse them into the tree to come on or use an effect on them when magic is occurring through either prospera or ariels, to give a connotation may help the audience and make it more interactive and effective. Props, id do what I thought to he demon hounds, I then would get amore realistic banquet just the story is more understandable. With things like lighting and sound I don't think I would add to much more lighting would maybe be low lights to highlight the tree when it isn't glowing or to create more effects for things like the shipwreck if we wanted to, with sound most was ok just maybe louder speakers for the musicians and have one mic for things like ariels rant of "you three people of sin" when their not on stage to give that authority and scary effect on the characters and more dramatic for the audience.
