Devising: Day 26



As this was the first day without one of our group members, we could no longer work on any physical pieces, which is a pain. However, we had already planned previously that we would use this time to finish off writing the scenes we had started a few weeks back. Instead of using all of our time dedicated to writing one script, I suggested that we split off and wrote two different scenes at once, this way we would make use of the persons available to us. I think we all agreed that in each scene, we wanted the tension to rise between those in the boardroom, culminating in the planned, comical argument scene to end with. One problem we did encounter was when to bring in one of our cast members. Ideally, we wanted to bring him in right at the very end of the argument scene with him entering as everyone was worked up and angry, making the scene rather comical. However, he was concerned that the length of time he would be in it for would affect his performance grade, although he would be in all the movement pieces.


With this in mind, we carried on creating our two scripts. At some points, we all struggled with what lines we wanted to add, so we decided it would be best if we actually read through he script to spark any ideas. The main thing we wanted to make sure of, was sustaining the different characters in the piece and writing lines that fit their personalities.
