Today, we were instructed to decide what direction we were going in our piece. As a group, we agreed that sticking with our education theme would be most beneficial. Albeit discussions about whether we need to switch to problems students faced. However we rejected this idea.
With our theme decided I decided it would be better to split the group. I designated areas of research for people. These were 40's and 70's school and recounts of cane punishment. The rest of us worked on script writing using the facts, figures and opinions from articles to help construct dialogue. Although only two pages were written, we feel the dialogue is of good quality and would rather have a good quality if dialogue rather than quantity. Our main focus is to make our piece sophisticated and clever. Which I hope had come across in what we have written. Hopefully, we can combine the research and present time periods realistically and accurately.
In addition, after watching a particular scene from the Blackwatch Gang, we decided that it was a great way in which to move between scenes. It offered something very refreshing and we felt that we could do something similar, moving through the schooling system. I found how the main actor was dressed and manoeuvred around the stage very interesting, representing the flow through the years.
