Downhill
Things slowly began to go downhill from here.
In one week we did not have one full rehearsal until the Friday where Mr. Cash was to decided which group were going to perform in creative arts. Heather was the first to get sick out of our ensemble group, but then Leah over the following two days. I too came down with a cold, and Maddi after me. This caused a slow to our progress, and as we were all a little crabby from the lack of sleep we’d been getting from our sickness, and were too tired to actually come up with something beneficial.
We also discovered over this week that none of us were really comic actors, we don’t have the quick whit like some of our classmates, and realised that our performance really wasn’t as comic as we first thought. From here we began to over think our ideas and no scene would come out smoothly. Our whole group began to stress and realise that we were not going to be in creative arts for our performance.
Heather and I now know that we can be comic if the script is given to us, but we are more dramatic actors in producing a script ourselves. We decided to just keep going and deal with the hilarity of our performance a little further down the track. We quickly added another scene on the Friday so Mr. Cash could see some new material, even though it wasn’t too smooth.
The scene we added consisted of walkie talkies as the technology involved. A captain was in a ship waiting for advice from the main land, yet the walkie talkies fail and the message to not push the red button comes across as ‘do push red button’. This scene ends with Leah explaining that the outcome from the red button was not covered in the budget.
