Creating with our idea

Today we split into 2 groups to create two scenes to help decide who shall be our psychiatrist for the piece. We were given a photo of one of the tunnels which is used as a church, so we used it as inspiration for Tom's character who believes he is Jesus. We create a scene where the psychiatrist out thinks the patients logic that he is Jesus causing the patient to get aggregated. This scene can be approved upon later but has the potential to bea very creative and controversial scene. This can be done by using parts of scripture that can reflect on the asylum as a whole and the people in it. This would be interesting as we could bring in religious views on the mentally handicapped and how they can be helped. I also think this could be a controversial scene as religious views can be interpreted in many ways and we could use that to our advantage by tying to find our own dark twisted meaning in scripture to use for our piece. I feel this is a good idea as we could add layers of meanings to the piece by creating our own interpretations of religious scripture. Another idea we came up with today was that the doctor and the nurse were actually patients at the hospital and the actual doctor is missing. This is an interesting idea as it can be a good twist for the ending and a great shock for the audience when they find out they spent the whole journey with not actually being safe from the danger of the patients as they were being lead by the patients. Today was a very productive lesson as both groups created a scene for the show that could be developed upon later but we have actually managed to start creating our show. We had also decided that we were going to use the seven devils piece we created at the start of the unit and would just improve upon it later and add others into it.
