In this lesson we managed to get quite a lot done. I contributed many ideas and helped out quite a lot within the group. Firstly in this lesson we discussed how we're going to open the peice, what we should wear and how people will be recognised as the main character. My first idea was to use a watch as the symbolic object which the main character of each scene will wear, the reason I think it should be a watch is because during our peice we show things from different time periods. My other idea that links with this is that before each scene we have the main character turn the time on the watch and then have a projection of a clock going round on a screen. I also thought that in our Suffragette scene we should show the video of the woman getting hit by the horse. During the lesson we also created the monologue for our Suffragette scene, this will be a work in proggress as we want to crete quality dialogue. Later on in the lesson when we decided to start thinking of a movement peice for the opening, I contributed the songs 'Take me to church' and 'I need'. The first song we used for the opening was 'The sound of silence' then we tried it with 'I Need' by Maverick Sabre which worked out better so my idea was used.
Next lesson I plan on making the Suffragette scene and finishing it. The idea I'll give for that is to make our own flyers and posters. To make today's lesson better we could have started blocking the Suffragette scene and got further into making the movement for the opening scene as today we only got slightly into it.
