First movement piece - Training

Once Ashley's character has been cleared of being who he says he is we create an 'initiation' that he has to go through so we can find his skill if he has one. We started this by having each of our specialties as like a different training station tht Ashley had to go to and participate in the activity. After creating our basic dialogue and trying to make it flow with him going between us.

In the next lesson we decided to add music to the action sequence to make it more interesting as it is a bit boring just with dialogue. We have made it into just a movement piece using just movement to portray our skill, which I think works much better than the dialogue. So Ashley starts with Carl, being pushed to the floor and doing some fitness things before smoothly moving on to Kai and doing things with a gun, and so it goes on with Ashley easily moving from person to person. At the end of the movement Ashley is pushed to the middle of a semi-circle that we form emphasising the fact that he doesn't fit in with our team, he is then kicked to his knees as Freya enters to tell him to leave. I think this all works much better as it is more interesting for the audience to watch and breaks up some of the dialogue within our performance. To keep improving it we need to perfect the movements are make sure it all flows really well so it looks impressive to the audience.
