Final Idea Brainstorm

This week not only have we been developing as many ideas as we could we have also been focused on choosing an idea to perform, Today we sat down as a whole class and wrote down all the ideas we had come up with so far. We were trying to narrow it down but with a class of 13 and everyone having such big opinions on what to do was a little stressful, especially as this is our final performance and we want to make it perfect.

As you can see here we have a range of ideas listed by the titles we all acknowledge them by, we then went round to each individual so they could have their say on what they think the best idea would be/ what their favourite ideas were. Because we want to create such a big piece in such a small amount of time we are all keen on combining some of the ideas however it becomes a problem when not everyone agrees on the ideas we are combining. I personally would like to combine numbers 1 and 6, however number 6 would need some heavy rethinking for it to work with number 1. However on further thinking I do like the idea of combining 1 and 5, 5 unfortunately didn't have any votes so I doubt the rest of the class would be keen on this idea but it could tie in with the disturbance of the tour. The disturbance could easily be about how Fort Amherst is haunted and if this is an idea we go with then we could include idea 4 as well. I think almost the whole class was keen on using idea 1 as the opening to the piece as its such a good opening to have as it can lead anywhere storyline wise.

Next lesson we plan on going to Fort Amherst to get a feel for the location itself and this will hopefully help the class decide on an overall piece to perform once we see our location. We will also be able to note down what different rooms inside and out we can use and what sections of the tunnel we will be able to use, if we take photos of these areas this will help us at a later date when creating the piece as we can see where our promenade piece is going and what the different rooms can be.
