11|12|13 - Directing - New Script

Over the week, Mia dropped out meaning that the previous script I'd had in mind wouldn't work properly as I focused a lot on that relationship. I decided to write a different script more heavily influenced by Stephen Sondheim's. I used a notebook to write out the script and write down idea's of movement that could match the words to make it a physical piece. 

We went over what we did last week, removing the part with Mia, and having it go straight into the wood scene. 

After directing the script out, I wrote notes of what I would like to change or develop:

In the intro sequence - switched round Med and Sam as then Med would be behind Abbie - to show that the Huntsman had a dominance over Blue, the proxemics show their family relationship and his authority by her physical timid reaction to his prominence. 

In my script I had an alternate speech pattern between men and women, but I decided to make it so that the women say everything to uplift the tone. They can create their own pitch and pace, as this with juxtapose with the cheerful Red that is naive to the dangers of her journey. There also needs to be more enthusiasm in everyones voice and the pace of the walk needs to be a lot faster and more definition of the walks. 

Every understands the directions they should turn, not so set as my script says as after the walk they may end up somewhere else. no head movements as they are too tedious and don't make a massive impact, whole body turns created a lot more of a dynamic scene. 

Began refreshing on the frame movement, decided people would walk from either end and previous movement would have to be adapted for this. 

Refreshed on the sound scapes making each noise clear and worked on who needed to raise their volume.
