Entry Five

Pre-Humanities Week Showcase

Okay, so basically the main comments we were given was that

1) They could see the clear divergence between Child and Sibling.
2) Struggle of identity(ie. Politics of Identity) was still unclear.

Comment number one was something that we could work off, because the audience could see that the characters, specifically the Child & Sibling, were forced to make a choice. This resulted in two clear and different end result; Sibling going mad and Child still remaining sane. So basically, we decided to incorporate this idea of every single character in our piece having to make a choice.

This has resulted in quite a major change in most scenes of the script. These include:
1) Number of scenes reduced from 6 to 5.
2) Instead of trying to make a running storyline, we incorporated more episodic elements.
3) Every single character will have to face the predicament of making a choice. (ie. emotional journey)
4) More buildup for the character of Parent so that violence doesn't seem to sudden.
5) Friend 1&2 will have more 'air-time", with their roles being of more importance.
6) Child and Sibling will be faced with the sense of choice and struggle.

Therefore, Identity will be based upon how the characters are going to choose amidst external factors.(ie. how characters affect each other.->DV) Internal struggle ensues.

Another change to note is that our 2 skills are now, Movement and Sound/light. No more multimedia. It will be another load off our shoulders as we feel that we won't be able to produce a good multimedia product in the short span of time.
