Aim: Recap what we did with the prologue.
We improved the bit when shahrayar says the que 'one night only' and the women walk forward centre stage with their heads down in worry- From the start we all said the line 'Until a thousand young girls perished' at the same time. We thought it didnt work as their was no emotion shown, so to improve this we thought only the middle person in the line (demi) turns to the audience and says it herself then all the rest of the girls slowly walk towards our starting position. I felt that the women could have had more movement than just turning around with their hands down and one person said a line, i feel that their could have been a dance sequence as it would show more emotion to line as it is very important in the story.
Once we had improved this scene we moved on creating the rest of the prologue (when Shahrazad asks the Vizier to marry her to the king Shahrayar).We divided ourselfs into groups in the positions we were sitting in using props and sheets to set the scene. I found this scene very good as it builded tension towards the two characters Shahrazad and Vizier.
When we all went for a break Daniella (shahrazad) and Bradley (vizier)stayed behind to improve and practice there lines together and to build more tension on their characters.
We had many ideas for the marriage scene- We used a big white sheet with leona holding it round the edge creating the image of a beautiful white shelter where sharazad and shahrayar get married underneath the shelter with two guards (Charlie + David) either side of the shelter. This was to show the importance of the king, whilst the two groups are downstage left and right.
