Staging

In this lesson we worked a lot on staging. We worked on ways of making the scenes look interesting but making sure we don't have our backs to the audience.

Some scenes we actually used the whole class. One of them was my scene. This is because we wanted to make the bomb explosion look explosive but also we wanted the scene to look tense and get the audience on the edge of their seats. We did this by making everyone run in and scream Ellis's line "Sephy you got to get out of here now!". We did this because we wanted to make the tension of the scene rise. But what i really like about the scene is the way its layer out, everyone around me in different positions, it looks like a bomb explosion which is really effective.

So me and Elis can perform our scene and be seen by the audience, we did a different staging. We made very one drop to the floor which looked really dramatic as they do it when Elis runs in. And when they drop they drop in a line so its like a runway for me and Elis to perform, but is also easier to get off stage quickly and lets the other scene get prepared easily for their scene.









Another scene we worked on was the Sex Scene. This scene I think is one of the best. When we begin our scene there's one person that says the first line and then everyone waits until their turn and joins in. Its effective because every time its someone else speaking they always look at the person who spoke before them. Its also easier for us because it lets us have someone to communicate the line to. We also used the stage very well. We all space out across the entire stage giving the audience a opportunity to see us actors from different viewpoints.

In this lesson i learnt that staging is very important to make a performance interesting. If the audience are able to see whats going on they become more intrigued, but to make it look interesting then you've hooked them, all you need to do is deliver a good performance!
