Today we started to script our first scene in our devised piece which is our introduction to our teachers and the topic of the meeting. For the scene we wanted to give our characters a steriptypical teacher role:
Meg: Leading the meeting, reposible, non bias
Dan: Strict teacher, scary, in favour of bring more extream corpral punishment
Kyle: New teacher, nervous, stay quiet about his views
Carl: Constanly interupted, slightly timid teacher, against the corpral punishment
Toby: Sarcastic, having a laugh, not bothered by the meeting
Ashley: Late teacher, not bothered by the meeting, doesn't care about outcome
We sat and talked about what we wanted to happen in the meeting like the serious issue and the recorring jokes between us. Meg starts the scene as we made her head of the meeting where she brings up the issue of how to deal with the children using effective punishements. We continued to have this issued talked about between us all with an odd teacher throwing in a joke or two to the conversation until someone mssions the cane. This causes a second debate to spark up between everyone about whether the cane should of been band as a corpral punishment. I then enter, which is ment to be use as a comical entrance as the debate was grown but i stop it dead in its tracks but interuppting the meeting. We then have one of us as a teacher que us into our victorian piece we made last lesson.
We tried the script out to see what we all thought about and after a run thorugh we had a few points to change. We changed some of the wording and phrases in our script because some of our dialogue either didn't make sense or didn't sound like something a teacher would say. Another change we made was the entrance of my character as we decided not introduce him until later so we could build a more comedical entrance for my character.
