This day we were adding the first piece of debate is the scene in which a Government Army guard is here to escort the Photographer and Journalist from the area. We wanted this scene to be fast pace with high energy serious scene. This will pick up the pace of the overall performance as the last scene is the Journalist reading the story, which is very low energy. By placing a high impact scene we will be able to hold the attention of our target audience of secondary school.
We needed to return the Photographer back into the room so continued the humor &had a small scene in which they attempt to return the used tissue back to the Journalist. They go on to discuss the story and here's where the first bit of conflict takes place.
I worked with Matt to create a scene where he asked for which story I was going to use which would cause tension as he doesn't have the correct photo's for the story in which the Journalist wanted to use. By doing this we can see a work disagreement that is caused by the emotional connection the Journalist has made about the story needing to present the whole truth. This disagreement is disrupted by a large bang from outside which represents the war zone outside.
This is when the Army Guard appears by knocking on the door. To open the door we opened it cautiously. When he entered he told us to pack out things to go, we made him connect to the outside war zone by opening the window and being ready to shoot.We created more violence in the scene by making the Army Guard grab the Photographer which gives a higher impact and more hectic feel to the scene.
The debate between the Journalist and the Photographer here was that the Photographer wanted to stay and record this story and aims to persuade the Journalist to stay. They come together as a team to tell the Army Guard a new plan to meet them in two days instead. This is where the Journalist takes charge, and because the Photographer has to persuade the Journalist is shows who holds the most power between the two.
While the Army Guard is present, the next piece of conflict is presented when there is a knock on the door. At first we decided that we should act as if it was a rebel which would create a bigger juxtaposition when the door opens to reveal a child.
We decided that with the previous scene in which P & J over the photo matching the story that the Journalist has developed a connection with these war surroundings. This is why the Journalist removes the aim of the Army Guard's gun to provide a kinder hand to check the child is unarmed.
This scene presents one side of the harsh world that is going on outside the Journalists room, by doing this we bring a contrast of the safe world that the audience has been allowed to see, and stepped it up with the intimidating soldier figure. We also got to see more of the Photographer and Journalists character when presented with conflict.
We used the same process of creating two different approaches and blending the best parts, such as the comedy at the knock of the Army Guard in order to make a short relief between two serious scenes.
