Devising: Day 14

Again. We split into different groups and worked on individual scenes. We began with a little discussion on what to work on next as well as discuss new ideas for future scenes. Myself and Ellie worked on the break up scene. We wanted to make this very short and snappy to make it more effective and potentially more of a shock to allow the author to take centre stage. We began the scene with tess discovering Finn laying on the floor after being beaten up by the gang, she is in tears at the state of Finn who merely pushes her away before breaking the news. We then moved onto setting the scene in which we use the technique of split stage. We split the scene between the gang playing cards and the boss lying to tess about Finn having disappeared. The gang play cards whilst this is going on with Finn distant before suggesting the group plays the card game kings. To symbolise the fact that he has morales and the emotional high ground over his gang members. It turns out that none of them have any cards and Finn has an ace. Which he is told can mean two things, high or low, symbolising his choice between te gang and tess. Again not all the scenes were filmed or finished to a state of perfection, but soon we will have a few videos up of various scenes as well as knowing what we need to work on next
