Aim of this lesson again was to complete individual targets.
Our group target was: to go over our scene making it slick and fluent adding more intensity and emotion.

With April being back we were able to show her what idea we had and to show her the scene so far, but whilst discussing the scene with each other we wanted to interpret physical abuse from a different angle. We felt that every other group's drama we had seen was setting a certain mood, quite depressive. So we wanted to approach it differently and make our's quite humerous on the bully's behalf, by showing up the bully's, making them look stupid and therefore making the audience laugh at how pathetic the bully's are. So aswell as feeling sorry for the victim, the audience will realise how pathetic bullying is.

Due to this change of heart we had to change our entire scene. We are now having Alys, April and Autumn as extremely girly bully's, with over exaggerated comments and movement showing how they are taking the 'mick'.
The structure for our scene;
- bullys have a scene to begin with - head bully finds out that a girl has been insulting her on her looks - they decide to invite her too a sleepover to beat her up

- the sleepover scene - make the physical voilence quite horrific to contrast the mood of humour.

so we didn't really manage to achieve our target for this lesson although i now feel more confident about the angle change of our drama.
