  Lucy Pratt 12u21/12/17 Drama- blog post and script idea  Remembertoaddlast name to the table  Placards- Brecht Thislessonwe decidedtopicksome scenesformourplotandstat to devise them.Firstwe lookedat the school scene whichIhad the ideato have everyone infastforwardwiththe characterof Verity on herphone as thoughshe isignoringthe restof the world,textingJordan.Abbysuggestedthatwe use placardsto showthe times/lessonsthatare movingonwithoutherattention. We hadthe idea to have Molly,Sophie andIrotating as studentsandthe class teacherwiththe teacherof each subjectsayingsomethingsmall asif inclass.For example Iwill actasthe Englishteacherandwould mentionShakespeare (directreference tothe stimulus). The transitionswere all of uswalkinginthe gaps in-betweenone anotherandtothe positionsof the classes- sittingindifferentsitseachtime. Craig realisedthatif he wasinthisscene beingastudentand a teacheritcouldconfuse the audience as he is alreadyMickand Jordan. We realisedthatwe neededmusicandperhapsnodialogue asthe scene waslong(and, as Abbypointedout,tedious)sotokeepthe progressionof the lessongrowing we decidedtomove onto anotherscene. Thisscene wasa scene thatI suggested;it’sascene where VerityistextingJordaninherroom and Livcomes into annoyher.I thisscene we usedthingswe couldthinkof that youngersiblingswould do to annoytheiroldersibling- suchasthe ‘K.I.S.S.I.N.G’rhyme. Whentryingtograbthe phone we came upwiththe ideafor me to hitAbbyin the back of the knee causinghertofocuson her knee rather thanher phone. We didthisto show the relationshipbetweenthe sisters (Liv knowsVerity’s weakpoints) whichiswhywhenVerityisbeingmore serious itcreatestensionbetweenthem. Thenwe movedonto the table scene before the argument.Thisiswherethe characterof Verity wouldbe at the dinnertable buttextingJordan.ThisirritatesScarlet(hermother) whothen triesto take the phone awayfrom her.The tensionneeds tobuildbeforethissowe decidedtohave my character whispertoVerityabouttellinghermotheraboutwhosee istexting. Thisthenleadstomy character eventuallycoughingandsayingJordan.Thiswillbe what startsthe argumentleavingLiv stuck inthe middle andscared. We have allocatedthisscene to Craigto write overthe Christmasholidays andIvolunteered towrite the scene withLiv teasingVerity: LivfindingoutaboutJordan Verity’sbedroom Verity on stage,Liv enters Liv:Who you talkingtoo? Verity:Noone Liv: Who’sJordan?Is he your boyfriend?Letme see! Verity:nogo away
