The group that were working on the script had got the first scene completed and therfore we spent the lesson working on staging it. We had one period to work on it and then for the other period we would show our teacher what we have and he would give us some advice as to how we can improve our scene. The scene is set out like a staff/senior staff or head of education meeting and they discuss how the education system if failing and how they can make sure it improve and they discuss their ideas to one another.
The scene was really inspired by the play "Future Conditonal" which we went and watched as a class a few weeks ago. The play is also based on the education system and how it affects students but also parents and the teachers. It was rather clever as the character that Rob Brydon played was giving really long monologues however the way he done it, it was as if he was having a conversation with pupils. But the scene that inspired the scrpited piece that the group came up with was inspired by a meeting which was heavily based in the play. The way it was set our was in a circle and the people always changed seats everytime they returned to the meeting, so that the audience could see their facial expressions.
My character is suppose to be a sarcastic teacher so in order to achieve this, I will need to show that he's not really listening to the key facts of the meeting and that he'll just chuck in random snarky coments which the audience will hopefully find amusing.
