Today we performed in the morning and then we were given feed back

-          Where are we going with the song in the beginning, Nathan can’t be part of the song as we are meant to be annoying him with the noise we are making.

-        -   Have we decided to use boxes or fold up exam tables, we need to think of which is the easiest to transport.

-       -   Daisy didn’t seem dumb she seems younger.

-          Articulation.

-      -    Don’t have everything as someone accusing another.

Peer feedback

-       -   Maybe use tables in another way – act like you are on the play ground

-     -     Don’t make everything accusing, it’s starting to get repetitive

We also did some research today and watched a programme called ‘Grizzly Tales for Grusome Kids’ – Eboy. We wanted to develop our horror story but we didn’t know how far we could push it on the scare factor. So as a result of watching this we can get an idea of what the age range of our audience are able to handle and watch.

·     -    There were simple sentences

·   -      Creepy noises

·     -    There was a moral in the horror story

The possibility of using the story of the lion king for the plot of the horror film, because it is something the kids can link it to, and as we are not going to believe the story (as our characters) it then shows more that it is fake and we can ask if she made it up using that plot in particular, as a joke. It then makes the story more playful and takes the element of fear out of it because we do not want to scare the kids too much.

We also came up with future ideas that we could use within the performance...
