good evening to all!

yesterday at work i was on the dorr for 3 HOURS! apart from it been amazing boring it was actually really interesting. after standing there for so long you begin to just watch people and how they behave. it’s amazing how diffrent people are and just all the little idiosyncrasies (cant spell) that make people who they are and define them from others. There was this one fine looking lad about our age who played ‘mr smooth’ in his spic and span suit trying to sell raffle tickets or something along those lines. when his mum came to pick him his attitude totally changed. he just became really relaxed and just like a teenager again as he didnt have to impress others any more. it just made me think when we are potraying characters we really have to think about how they would be acting in this situation and what manerisms make them, them. you cant just put on an accent and hope for the best. you must be inside this charcter and re-cat they way that they would.

anyway…this w/e i am researching elvis..aaron ’sexy rock’/sex drugs rock n roll and kendall comercial pop and future music styles. we conjured up an idea that elvis literally becomes a king after everyone calling him ‘the king’. his power gets to him and then ‘the king has left the building’ also we want to show how while everyone was worshipping elvis there were others who didnt (individualism v conformity) perhaps those who worship him are in a trance like state..i dont no just an i dea we will be looking into that idea further next week on how we will convey that.

anyways im off to eat nachos!

peace out, A town.

Today at the end of the week i think we had just about had it with each other. Not with the people in our group but the people in the opposing ensemble group AKA ‘the devil group’. we are happily working away and they just wouldnt leave us alone and kept using up all of the space. so this sparked a riot and in the end the decision was made to section off the room. masking tape was found and we put tape on the fllor across the room so that we had half each and no from the other group can cross over into our working space now! it works really well and now we dont have to worry about being interupted by that other so called ensemble group.

apart from the riots our froup has made alot of progress with about 50% of the ensemble fully blocked and scripted. By the end of next week we hope to have most of it completed with plenty of time left for editing and rehersal. we also discovered a way to move the breifcases around the room for a transition between scenes. we sing a couple of lines of ‘another brick in the wall’ and places the briefcases for the next scene. it works well because it is sort of like we are building a brick wall in a way.

anyways im off to eat nachos!

p.s clarry we all took the liberty of each getting a key cut so now we can access the school at all hours! im sure u wont mind!

ice ice baby!

this week our group has got so much productive work done. We continually are comming up with new great ideas and we just go with it. We all seem to bounce of each others ideas which makes it even better. At the end of the lesson we go home and script what we have done so its not forgotten. We have large chunks of scenes blocked and we have really explored how slave music led into gospel which led into hiphop and it shows how it became commercialised and how people begun to ’sell out’. Now we are working on contrasting managers to show how now days all they want is money ‘kaching’ where as the old managers were more about the music and the actually cared. Sam scripted a great scene for that which works perfectly! My favorite scene so far is the one with vanilla ice with our killer dancemoves!!

well im tired now so see ya’ll later…’i tried to get away but i couldn’t get far!’
