Starting the project 09/11/10

We started off discussing as a group ideas that we could do, we came up with:

• Begining - Victim scene, using the diary entrys from the other lesson
                - Vitcim paranoia - use of vocal collage.
• Massive varriation of bullying
• Side effects off bullying:
  - Self harming - someone seeing it on the victim. Abstract/physical theatre.
  - Depression
  - Suicide
  - Singling out from friends
• Audience imagination
• Dates and names of victims
• Tension
• Lifts - symbolise death?
• Diary entry for each scene?

Scene by scene:

1.  Verbal abuse & looks
2. Cyberabuse - formspring, facebook, msn
3. Paranioa
4. Physical abuse
5. Lack of confidence. -exclusion from friends and depression.

We decided to do each scene a different type of bullying.
For each scene we have decided to do it with a diary entry to start the scene off.

In each scene we have a different person playing the victim, we thought this would be good to use people who don't have a distinction already so it's fair on them and they have a good part.  Each groups has 3-5 people in it so that everyone can work on one scene instead of the whole class doing scene by scene together, this way it wont take as long to do.

We split of into groups and talked about ideas on how we would like to do the scene.

Scene two: Cyberbullying - Leanne, Lauren & Grace

Three characters in a  row all on computers.

Victim in the middle and bullys on either side.

Reading a converstation out load so that audience can hear.  Victims saying her thoughts out to the audience, but saying something different to bully's to make her look like she isn't scared. - gives the effect of her putting on a face when deep down she is getting weaker.
