Before I was introduced to this unit the history of Berlin and was something I knew very little about. I imagined it in my head to be quite a sophisticated type of place where the women are quite reserved and ladylike so it was a shock to see how life actually was in 1920's/30's and discover that it was actually the sex capital of Europe on that time. Tourists would come in from all over the world for this reason alone. Even though the Germans were at war with each other everyone celebrated life to the fullest which is actually quite inspiring.
I have heard of Cabaret before but it's not something I have seen before and it gave me a great idea of the type of people you would find in that city. I read the script first and really got into it, it was surprisingly easy to read and I enjoyed the storyline so when I watched the film I was a little disappointed. The story is different and some of the characters that appeared a lot in the script were not so much in the film.
Saying that I am really excited about creating a period and contemporary look based on this, from watching the film and other clips of the musical it's a really fun look to being working on! I do think that the summer project will help me when making colour choices for my makeup designs and I am definitely more aware of how these colours will make people feel emotionally.
