After the end of our ensemble was produced, we began to have disagreements over future scenes, as we all have different ideas and passions for technology. We began to develop another scene of the 1980’s where Leah and Maddi are the central characters. In this time frame the Boom box was a big craze, so we incorporated that into the script as well as an ipod, to show the contrast from different time frames. Maddi would be from the 1980’s and on the wrong ‘floor’, so she ran into Leah with her Boom Box. Maddi and Leah are each fascinated by the others contraption, and the contrast is evident with the lack of knowledge for each others technology.

 While this scene was being constructed,Heather and I continued to develop ideas for other scenes with some minor disagreements. We settled on the idea of a tattoo parlour and a ‘bimbo’ walking in looking for breast implants, little does she know that she is really in a tattoo parlour. The tattoo artist doesn’t understand what sort of tattoo she is interested in, and is so laid back that he does not care. The bimbo then realises that she is in a tattoo parlour, but doesn’t care. The idea here is to show contrast between the two characters and also to stereotype the characters.

In this scene we had problems with the language and timing of movements. I was to play the Bimbo, and Maddi the tattoo artist. Maddi had some struggles in actually acting like a man, seeing as she is really proper. Heather however tried to show Maddi, so we decided that maybe Heather should be in the scene. Moving around the characters I was moved out of the scene and Heather was to be the Bimbo and Maddi still the tattoo artist. Another reason I was moved out of the scene was because I’d already been in 5/5 scenes and needed a break.
