Individual research - Brittany Measor;

For the scene we are creating at the moment, research about a priest is essential to ensure our scene is believable to the audience. The main focus of our scene is to establish the fact Horatio Freezer's life is easy going and he is happy now he has 'lost' his identity - the song Happy - Pharrell Williams is played over the section where Horatio is seen visiting his boss, doctor, friends and a priest; thanking them all for there help to take him to where he is today. Then the music suddenly cuts out as 'Sophie' or the new 'Horatio' enters searching for help. When Sophie reaches each of the stages she is begging for help, begging for an explanation and beginning for a reason as to why it was her. Within this scene we struggled slightly with the section including the priest, focusing on dialogue and what the priest would say back to the young girl.

Firstly, I decided to Google the definition of Priest and resulted with this;

Priest

An ordained minister of the Catholic, Orthodox, or Anglican Church, authorised to performance certain rites and administer certain sacraments. 

Secondly, I decided a simple but important question to ask would be how can you ask your priest for help; after looking through many results why page was someone who had actually done it before and there response to this. Below you can see a screen shot of this website and the information needed;

2. Now, the main thing I had to research was the language Priest's would tend to use when discussing someone else's problems or issues to help with our dialogue issues. To do this I used the Google search engine, I typed in 'What type of language do priests use?'. With this, a result that came up frequently was the use of Sacred Language. It was then defined as; As sacred language, 'Holy language' (in religious context, or liturgical language, is a language that is cultivated for religious reasons by people who speak another language in their daily life.

4.  I then searched for examples of sacred language that we may be able to include in our piece and if not use the influence from these lines within our piece to create our own version. The results consisted of;

6. Because of man's union with the Self and his unbroken knowledge of it, he is filled with joy, he knows his joy; his mind is illuminated.
7. 
   
8. There is nothing that is not spirit. The personal self is the impersonal spirit...The self is the lord of all; inhabitant of the hearts of all. He is source of all, creator and dissolver of beings. There is nothing he does not know.

He is not knowable by perception, turned inward of outward, nor by both combined. He is neither that which is known nor that which is not known, nor is he the sum of all that might be known. He cannot be seen, grasped, bargained with. He is undefinable, unthinkable, indescribable. The only proof of his existence is union with him. The world disappears in him.
