London Riots - Run Through

In this lesson we had to work as a team due to our director not being in. As a result, we worked on making our emotional term oil piece more fluent and more improved. We also worked on the consequences scene and saw what it looked like with blackout and we decided it looked really good. A way of improving this is that we recorded what we had done and then went back and watched it so that we could see what it looked like and therefore we could focus on any improvements.  For the consequences scene once I had decided on improvements for my character, I decided that I should perhaps be look upset in my facial expressions or try to hide my face as the character may be so lost and knocked down he decides  to hide his face and then drink a lot (focus on a lot of stumbling).

Dan worked on lighting in this rehearsal so we slowly went through our whole piece so then he was able to add in a variety of colours and affects so that it could really help engage our audience. For example when we had our physical theatre scene about the boy that lived on the estate and then would be easily fooled by other teenagers in his community and his friends. We added in strobes for when my character fights with Tom’s character. This way it can represent what the boy might think or feel and the effect of it will look artistic and also kind of like a fast comic book style.
