Chasing Pavements- finding out the stimulus

27th November

At the beginning of the lesson today we began by watching the stimilus for our devised piece which was the song chasing pavements by Adele. At first it was very difficult to think of ideas at first as there was so much going on in the music video as  the lyrics of the song was very different to what was going on in the video. We then got split into 2 groups which we began to discuss ideas one person came up with a chasing pavements game show and have a comedy value where I had the idea that it could be about a person chasing a better life in the world or chasing a dream that they will never catch. We then picked one of the ideas and we choose the game show one. we then created a small devised piece on this idea to help us get used to developing ideas and seeing if they work or not. I find comedy quite hard so it was difficult to think on the ball about thinks I could say in some situations. over all this idea didn't work very well as it was very hard to develop and create the right atmosphere with enough techniques as possible.
