In today's lesson (as we were missing Ollie) we decided to begin creating our boxes for our Game Show Scene 'Keep or No Keep' ( the abortion Deal or No Deal) I attempted to get hold of 3 boxes and begin painting them red to look like those from Deal or No Deal, however we were unable to get some at this time, therefore Lorna began sketching out the numbers we would stick on the front of our boxes.
I was able to find a picture of each of the numbers (3,6 and 21) from the TV show so Lorna would be able to replicate the exact way they are on the boxes. Therefore As Lorna and I began to paint the box numbers, Katya continued to expand our script for our game show.

We started this lesson by continuing with our Game Show, we decided to begin performing the scene begging to stage it. However we thought it would be a good idea before staging to become more into our characters therefore we did a character swap. This was very helpful because it showed us how other people believed our character is portrayed.
I struggled with grasping my character because in the script I had to completely flip out and scream at everyone else on stage, and even after watching Lorna play the line how she believed it was portrayed I was still unable to completely flip out for no reason. The louder I got with it and the more I tried to sound angry the more over the top and unrealistic it sounded. Therefore we discussed what i could do to flip out and make it sound realistic. Kat suggested I take a few minutes to think about things that make me angry and use all that anger on my script. to make the anger real.
This idea worked, it was the best run I had of the script, I was realistically angry, by raising my voice but not too much that it becomes too made up. In my opinion I think the tone of voice makes it work well with the topic we have chosen.
Overall I think we are happy with the characters and the scripts we just need to work a little more on the staging of the game show.
