This week we started work on the end part of our performance. In this section Jeremy, who has recently been thrown out of the group, comes across James and, still thinking he is Jamie, starts to attack him. The rest of the boys eventually enter and join in this torture, eventually leading to James' death which sparks the ending of the play.
When trying to come up with different ways to make the torture scene look realistic I thought of using belts to create a dramatic effect. By folding the belt over and 'slapping' it together it looks like you are whipping the person and it makes a pretty impressive noise, getting rid of the need of sound effects which could be timed wrongly and take away from the seriousness of the piece. In the end they just went for normal stage combat which did not always look real. I think they should've taken at least something from my idea and used some different techniques to create a more impressive torture scene and not just repeat the stage combat we had used previously in the performance.
