At the start of this lesson we re-caped our ideas about our story plots and our character relations. We began with our idea to kill Harlequin. We re-discussed who would kill Harlequin as we began to cover motives from each character. We defined our idea of Zanni killing Harlequin as he would have no motive, therefore it would be a shock for the audience as they wouldn't expect it to be Zanni. Therefore we thought it would be funnier if Zanni killed him accidentally showing his clumsiness.The most difficult thing now is to think of a realistic death for Harlequin to keep the comedy because if it was an unrealistic death the audience wouldn't find it as funny.
Therefore we began to discuss a suitable place for the death, as they would need to be in the same place. We began doing more research on both characters to find out what they are like. I found out that Zanni is a slave and Harlequin is typically always hungry and always looking for food. After sharing this knowledge with the rest of the group we agreed on having the death in the kitchen where Harlequin is looking for more food and Zanni is working.
After this we brain stormed how he would die. So we began discussing ways he could die in a kitchen and what could have been used- E.G- knives, cookers and even out of date food. (Inspirationally from Hansel and Gretel) We decided to use the idea that Zanni accidentally pushes Harlequin into an over, therefore we covered all the points made previously. (E.G- making it an accident, showing Zanni as being clumsy).
