Pulling it all together

The last thing that we needed to finish was the electric chair scene with Kyle we added movement to this during the time when he is being electrocuted to show the crazy thoughts that would have been going through his brain. Once we finished this we were able to run the performance through and continue to find things that need improving such sharp arm movements in seven devils and some off the speech for some off the scenes. Doing this also enabled us to work out what we needed for props and how we could light the performance in order to give the effect that we want and make the audience more creeped out. However at this point we felt ready and all we needed to do was set it in the tunnels which we did on the day. This was hard due to making sure everything fit in the space we had and that it still looked effective. If the space was to small we had to make sure we fit and if it was too big we made sure that we filled it with the presence of the people acting within it.

Developing Ideas- Day 16

In todays lesson we stared off by looking at the ending of the gate scene while Ashley's scene which we had now decided didn't have Dom in. While everyone else was doing this I worked on what was going to be said on the video to 'relax' us before the 7 devils piece.

Once we had worked on these 2 scenes we went on to running from the beginning off what we had so far to see if we could change anything and make it better. When doing this we realised that how Dan and Freya were acting as Doctor and Nurse was making it comical and this was taking away from the eere affect that we wanted so we needed to make are that they took it more serious and tried not to bounce off of each other to much. We also had comments on Carl's movement scene making sure that we are all in the right places and we had to changed the beginning slightly because we didn't have a TV and we needed him to be introduced in order for Dom and the audience to know what was wrong with him. 

Developing Ideas- Day 14 and 15

On day 14's lesson I wasn't in due to exams so scene which didn't involve me such as dom and Dan's scene and Ashley scene was worked on in order to keep the process going while people were off for exams.

On day 15's lesson we worked on all the little scenes that needed to be finished like the Jesus scene, Dom and Dans scene. While other people worked on that Toby, Meg and I looked at Toby's character and started to discuss the moveologue and how Toby's character could act. Earlier that lesson Kyle had looked up something that could be wrong with Toby as he seemed normal. So we thought that he could be okay then have random out bursts of anger. However Toby wasn't to sure on this character to begin with as he has played many characters like this before. So he wanted to make his character have meaning to it in his moveologue by showing his true deep means for his problems and wanted to express this in what he says and the way meg moves.

Developing Idea- Day 13

During todays lesson we worked on finishing the 7 devils movement piece and carls movement piece due to Dan being missing we could only do scenes without him and these were the movement scenes. When we were adding to the 7 devils piece we wanted to make it as creepy as possible due to it being the last scene and the music really allowed us to do this. We made every movement jumpy so that it added to the effect to the music and one thing we needed to do was make sure everything was sharp and in time for example when we bang on the chairs if this isn't on time then it will not have the same effect. When moving on to carls movement piece we also wanted everything to be timed right so that it had the effect that we were in carls brain. We also needed to make sure with each movement we were using the right hand and moving our body in the same way in order to show that we are the same person in carl mind. 

Developing idea- Day 12

In todays lesson we worked on Kyles electric chair scene and while others did this the rest off us worked on developing other scene in order to incorporate hints that Dan and Freya aren't really the doctor and nurse. I helped Tom with developing his scene so that he towards the end of the scene he added quotes from the bible about lying in order to show the audience that there isn't something right and there are liar within our performance however the audience will need to work out who is lying. Once we had done this we worked on scripting this scene again in order to make the language right for someone who is a follower of Jesus Christ to the terminology had to be right. We then viewed the electric chair seen and spoke about how we thought more needed to be added to it and possible movement would work well when he was being electrocuted.

Developing Ideas- Day 10 and 11

In todays lesson we worked on carls movement piece developing it and adding everyone into it while trying to extend the piece in order to develop carls character more this lesson was mostly there to discuss and talk about how we include different people into it and how while developing carls character. 

In the next lesson I wasn't there due to an exam so everyone began to put stuff into order so we know where everything would go and what position things would go in and what we needed to do. In this lesson they also decided on what we were going to do for the ending and decided that it would involve Freya and Dan not being actual doctors and really being mental patients to an the doctor went missing ages ago. This helped to give the ending that we originally wanted as it made the audience question the whole performance.
