weeks review

This week we finished the performance. We still need to go over and perfect all the scenes. We also filmed Carl's news reporting scenes. These scenes will be placed at certain points in the play, the first one will be placed at the beginning letting the audience know the basic outline of the play. The second is after the mission, this is when the group begin to deteriorate and the last is when we tell the audience of the new world.Carl was dressed in a suit when filming these scenes,to show that he is a different character.

This week we also perfected the ending scene. We decided to add strobe light when Jamie kills everyone, this makes the deaths easier to do. When "killing"characters on stage you run the risk of it looking awful. When you try to kill a character in a realistic way it ends up looking fake, instead we decided to make it UN-naturalistic and add strobe and slow motion.

In the ending scene the men also gang up and kill James (Ashley) for this we decided to add music. We wanted a piece that contrasted with the violence so we have decided to use elegant and light music to match the heavy violence. This adds a sense of irony to the play.

Next week we will do a full run through in costume.
