Today we started off the lesson by recording a moment of
choral breathing. We did this in order to have one of the scenes with everyone
silent while the breathing sounds are being played through the speakers. This
will build more tension around the audience and build curiosity within the
audiences’ minds.
My piece of multimedia is relevant for an audience because
most speeches that are made from very important people such as presidents who are
usually seen on the TV by the majority of the audience. The multimedia we are
using of the video of Creon being shown on the news is relevant because the
audience is use to watching speeches on TV meaning the interview will seem more
the norm to the audience.
My scene is relevant to a modern audience as it has
cooperated multimedia such as music to create atmosphere and a video showing
the speech of Creon on the news. The multimedia helps make the Greek theatre relevant
to a modern audience as it is involving everyday subjects that we today use (e.g.
TV’s).
The multimedia used in my group is relevant to our scene
because it enables the interview to be presented in a way that makes sense to
the audience. If the speech wasn’t presented in an interview shown on TV, the
speech wouldn’t be as believable as most people today watch important speeches
made by people on TV.
When filming Creon’s speech the filming went quite smoothly.
We recorded the whole speech in one take and while the person playing Creon
performed his speech, we decided to have people in our group flashing lights
towards his face so that it came across as if members of the press where taking
pictures of Creon during his speech. This helped make the video more realistic
and believable for when the audience is watching the speech.
Before recording the video of the speech we advised the
member of our group playing Creon to use
some parts of the script but to analyse the script so that the speech is
modernised for a current audience. We decided to keep key parts of the speech
still the same, in order to still really portray the true character of Creon.
We then shared our scenes to the class...
Roseby’s group
·
Used herself and Robyn to modernise piece with
narrating
·
Effective because they still kept the script similar
while using characterisation to modernised piece
·
Could be developed by having all characters know
they’re lines
·
Related to modern audiences because by using narrators
that spoke with the humour that many TV presenters today, it gave a sensation
to the audience that we were watching a typical TV show
Antonia’s group
·
Presented piece as a documentary being reported of
Polyneice’s body
·
Effective as it was a good way of presenting Creons
body while it still made sense to the audience
·
Could be
improved if unnecessary dialogue was cut, some dialogue in the scene was unnecessary
and extended the scene to a moment were it sometimes lost its flow
·
Related to modern audiences by using phrases such as “ahh
the wifi’s gone” which many of us also have problems with depends on what area
we are in and it also added a sense of humour
Michelle’s group
·
Creon announcing speech
·
Physical theatre being done while creon made his
speech made it effective as the people performing physical theatre were
demonstrating their feelings towards the speech
·
Could be improved by having the people doing the physical
theatre, expressing more emotion on their faces rather than just in their physicality
·
Related to modern audiences as it used multimedia
video showing the speech which is where
the majority of us watch important speeches
Eric’s group
·
Video shown on the board
·
On either side of the video the two guards wearing
black shades made it very obvious and clear for the audience to understand them
as guards
·
The seriousness of Antigone being caught trying to
bury Polyneices was very realistic and their expressions clearly showed how fearful
she was at that moment
·
Related to modern audiences by using contemporary
costumes such as black shades to represent certain characters
Thiago’s group
·
Used torches effectively to build tension within the
audience
·
Slamming doors also helped to build tension
·
Improved by having all characters strongly know what
they are saying and who is saying it
·
Related to modern audiences by using contemporary multimedia
(torches) to create atmosphere and tension
Harmony
·
Used music to create atmosphere and had two characters
representing Creon’s conscience coming from either side of him through doors
·
Having the two characters playing the conscience of
Creon and having them lurking around the floor to him really created this mysterious
atmosphere
·
Could be improved by making sure Creon knew his
objectives as in showing how confused he really is and lost about what decision
he is to make next
·
Relates to modern audiences by changing use of language
from script to more modern language for modern audiences to understand clearer
