This lesson was spent in the computer room, where Amelia and I, as the directors, began to work out the casting. We also organised and extra rehersal to help us begin to stage the performance. As a group we discussed ideas for the performance.
Character reaserch:
My character is a volunteer at the soup kitchin. The idea of her character in the story is to give facts and statistics about homeless youth. Mine and Poppy's characters are both volunteers who bring a more positive side to the performance.
In a campaign video, it starts off with negative stories, thoughts and statistics, however, usually ends on a poitive note. This is how we are thinking of basing this performance. We must be aware not to make the volunteers a stereotype.
personality trait layers:
Physicality
Voice
Energy
Status
Objective
Super objective
The play is designed to make the audience think about the deeper meaning. When they next watch Comic Relief or Children in Need, we want the audience to think about what is actually happening to these people who are suffering, put on camera at their worst and no dignity left.
One of the first lines will be "cut, the boom mike is not working". Whilst the directors and volunteers backs are turned, a human trafficker comes in and takes someone away.
