Developing scenes and generating transitions - CKR Lesson 7 (PMD2)

This video above shows the pre-show of our performance that is the cast setting up the stage but it also shows the idea of disease and contagion throughout. Alongside this, it introduces the puppet concept that is explained in the next scene (the tea party scene).


These still images look into the idea of emphasising the setting that the performance is set in. For example the first still image represents the castle. We also introduce the grotesque movement that features throughout the entire performance. There is also a representation of time in the last still image where we create a clock.



This video looks into how we are going to transition from one scene to another in a way that still communicates the message of the performance and so we aren't just standing up and moving into the next piece and this means that it still looks clean and it looks like we know what were doing.




The monologues are a newly added aspect to the masquerade scene and this video shows us experimenting the monologues in this section of the scene. Originally we were going to have them in the corridor section however after discussion we came to the conclusion that we already had speech in this section of the scene so we moved it to the section in the video as we didn't have scripted speech in this section and felt we needed to, in order to make it look more clean and professional.
