As previously discussed within the initial ideas section it can be seen what ideas as a group we had initially created. Throughout this project we have established a variety of different ideas that had developed from working around our initial theme of portraying the individual in society, this included discussions and workshops relating to how we could set about doing this. Other ideas included.
- The world ending in December. What would you do before you die?
- Stage a robbery inLincolnTown Centre/ shop.
- Re-enact
- A battle at a castle
- Play knights and princesses at the cathedral.
- Re-creating a riot
Although we discussed a variety of ideas it was made apparent we wanted to stage a game show allowing audience members to participate and have an input into the final piece whilst incorporating a variety of multimedia aspects. Using inspiration which we had gained from watching clips of Darren Brown and Blast Theory we wanted to encourage and influence the audience’s participation. This was created by firstly establishing a story to persuade the audience to choose the side we wanted. We did this by exploring the life of my character, displaying factors which we believe would later become beneficial and sway the audience’s choice in the direction we wanted.
Secondly we needed a variety of tasks which the audience would hopefully vote I carried out, again we had many ideas which can be seen below,
- Robbing a shop
- Attacking/robbing a homeless person
- Break into a house and steel from it
- Break into a house and attack the person in it (by accident)
- I beg for money to survive
- I steel from people on a night out
All of these ideas we had incorporated into workshops to decide if they would work or not. However, not all of the ideas were suitable and was too drastic to emphasise our points so we dismissed them for the ideas that did work.
