To begin with I wasn't sure on the stimulus and now I think I hate it even more. I feel its very restrictive on what you can create and I almost feel that we cant create anything fun or comical and fear anything we do create is boring and dark.
One of my initial ideas was to do drug and alcohol issues in youth, my group weren't keen on this idea as they felt it was quite GCSE standard and has been done a lot and there wasn't a lot of originality about the idea. I do agree with my group in the fact that if its not done well it can become quite juvenile and similar to other pieces that have been done, but i wanted to create quite an abstract piece which showed drugs and the effect it had on the users and their family. I had the idea of showing someone take drugs and then having a split stage of someone being messed up and showing what happens when they're on drugs but the other side of the stage will show what is going on in the drug users head and this side will be colourful and bold with lots of movement where as the first side will be dark and depressing. Even this idea its self isn't original it is slightly less GCSE then just showing people take drugs and then shouting at each other on stage.
I also feel drugs are something a lot of youth are taking and doing and its an issue that is often overlooked by teachers and parents and this is something we would have been able to show in our piece.
