Thursday 8th May
We carried on reading Lady and The Lion in the morning, again, everyone would talk during certain parts or start to argue which is a key point which always happens.
Today we chose our characters for each play we will be doing. Although everyone started an argument over this and the plays we all wanted to do.
I chose to play Gretel in Hansel and Gretel because I wanted a main part in one of our plays since I feel like I haven't had one before. I didn't really like any of the other characters within the Brothers Grimm plays so I chose to play Gretel.
We then split off into groups and we picked out certain points of creating the Hansel and Gretel piece. We had to follow some questions/points of the creations.
- How do you want to affect the audience? How do you want them to feel?
- Audience feel as if they are on edge when they are in the woods with Hansel and Gretel
- Like they are in the play
- Atmosphere
- Cold
- Smoke - Dry Ice
- Trees/twigs within the audience so they feel like they are in the woods
- Dress the seats in black, makes the room darker
- Dark lighting, minimal
- Red and Blue lights to make purple, this is a dark colour which would make the room feel more like a tale where purple is used a lot
- Voice
- Pitch - low tone
- Volume - quiet, but loud at the same time
- Rhythm - slow
- Sound
- Wind
- Whispering
- Scuttle of animals
- Owl
- Leaves rustling
- Owls/Foxes/Wolf howling
