Devising:

This last week, we have been threading all our scenes together and fine tuning pieces we feel weak on. There isn't really much to add as all we have been doing is rehearsing pieces and making sure we know what we are doing and when.

Most of our time this week has gone on more technical aspects. We spent more time completing our lighting and getting the music we needed. We re wrote the monologues for the gang as the original one didn't include enough about the gang members lives and childhood to elaborate on their past events in order to build up more of a connection and understanding to the characters and audience. We re shaped the monologues which now, include much more content. In addition, we recorded our voices for a broadcast scene at the end of our piece. We will edit the recordings to have white noise like a radio in between the three voices. The voices will be reading out articles fro the newspapers projected onto the ceiling above. We did want to put the projection on the wall, however, we would need to walk in front of the projector, hence blocking out the projections, so decided to keep it on the ceiling.

For next week, all we have to do is perform a run through a limit mistakes. Also timing it would be a good idea so we know if the piece is too short or too long. We need to sort out costumes and playing the music but at the moment, our piece is looking very good a near completion.
