Scripted: Day Six



We took a closer look into what we wanted our set to be like today, seeing as it was the first time in the hall for us we could finally picture it. We think that by performing on the floor we can use the stage as a second floor of the library, making the set a little more quirky as we can move form first floor to second floor. The only problem would be that we would have to make sire we don't use the stage too much and end up performing further away from the audience, plus it would defeat the point of performing on the floor in the first place. It would also give us another exit to use. We also thought about getting a real bookcase to add to the feel of the library instead of fake book wallpaper.


We performed the wasp scene again, setting where we would stand and focusing on how dramatic we wanted the scene to be, this took a few attempts, however, I think that we now have the right balance in the scene, from the exaggerative nature of the students in the beginning when the wasp is present, to how the mood drops so suddenly when Chadwick announces Lloyd had a heart attack before descending into his dystopian speech. I think the main point in this scene is to look into the subtext of the scene, what is our character actually thinking? how will I deliver my lines in the most effective way. I thought about this throughout the scene and was actually annoyed when the others (although acting) seemed to ignore me, so I believe thinking about my characters mind-set will be beneficial, especially in his large chunk of speech, where I need to focus on coming across as dark and weird as possible.


Below is a plan of what we want the set to look like as drawn by another group member, however, I think this is all what we imagined the set to look like, after all, it was how we set it out in our run through.
