Multimedia - Exploring the Chorus

This lesson was spent rehearsing our chorus scenes. I found it quiet difficult to remember a lot of the choreographed movement, so I mostly relied on looking at what the people in front of me where doing. I also found it difficult to remember the lines, this really held back our rehearsal as the lines are supposed to be said in unison as a body of actors. Yet when half of the group doesn't say their line it immediately loses all effect. After this rehearsal I decided I would have to spend some valuable time going over the cues, lines and movements. The cues were one of the most difficult parts as not everyone was always on the same page with cues or lines. This made it difficult to know when to start your line, creating a few uneasy silences in between lines in rehearsals. Other than that, I really enjoy working as an ensemble for the whole lesson. It was very physical and we had to collaborate as a team in order to make it work. The physical side made me enjoy it even more as I really felt I could get stuck into the task.

Looking At Suitable Areas For Performance and Multimedia - 
These two walls seemed like an ideal place to project a piece of footage onto. They were located inside and in a relatively quiet part of the school. These two Walls were also located inside of this little passage that is shown in the picture below this text. I though this added a good effect as the location seems quiet mysterious and strange. A perfect atmosphere for some of
the scenes in Antigone.

A Glass Roof

While looking around the school we came across this glass panelled roof. After a discussion with the people in my group we came up with the idea to stick silhouetted images on each panel of glass, the rest of the panel would have to be cover in black paper so not to let the light through. The light would then only shine through the holes in the silhouettes creating an effective, maybe even quiet haunting, image relating to Antigone.This white wall is positioned right next to this wall <- We were already thinking about projecting something onto that wall when we saw this wall -> The wall being white meant a projection would work wonderfully and the location was good as described for the other walls. It also seemed like a good idea to have the projections in one place. Lastly, as there is a ledge on this wall we discussed some ideas of placing significant objects there and maybe making slightly interactive.

Lockers

Here we looked at the idea of having little scenes set up in each of the lockers. We could of had small projections into each lockers with a mixture of other multimedia, such as sound. The audience would then go round opening the marked lockers to view the scene inside.

Here we had the idea of using the print room. The printing room is shown in the image below. We had the idea of printing out images relating to Antigone or showing a scene in Antigone at the print when the audience arrived. They could then look at the printed images and carry on to have a better in depth look at that scene.

The Printing Room

This is an image of a persons outline that is some how in the girls bathroom. We weren't exactly sure how we could include it in the show however it looked like it could defiantly be of use and effective within the play. Certiantly when a lot of the characters start committing suicide towards the end of the play.

Here we thought we could preform a scene on one side of the wall while the audience watched from the other side through the mirror. The only problem with this is that the mirror is quiet small and it may be difficult for all of the audience to see the scene. However, we thought the effect of a distorted scene through a mirror would work quiet nicely within the play.
