Devising- Monday 9th November

In today's lesson we began looking at our forced marriage scene again. We started by looking through our ideas and decided that we were no longer going to have it holiday based as it seemed to complicated and harder to understand for the audience so we looked at doing it at home. We then decided to not have the funeral of Freya's mother as it is irrelevant to the story and we want it to be direct and to the point. We therefore started with both parent making the final arrangements will we walk towards the drench up the traverse while they sit next to each other facing forwards but very spread apart so show they don't want this. While the men walk up I follow behind saying very little as if i'm being controlled. The scene then continues trying to get each other to talk to each other however Freya is very defiant. When we leave Dan set Freya into place and then it goes into Freya confiding i Kai her friend where he doesn't know what to do to support her. The next scene then included Dom taking control over Freya by being assertive. This was to show how words could hurt just as much as physical abuse. The next part included a scene without Dom and Tom putting of the wedding for a year to enable Freya to be controlled. At the end Freya talk to Dom on the phone saying she cooked his dinner and his sons in bed showing the audience he got exactly what they wanted.
