Individual post - Brittany Measor;

Today myself and Danny continued to work on creating scenes that will help with establishing our characters clearly to the audience. We came up with the idea of having the same scene repeated three times throughout the duration of our play, each changing depending on the occurrences so far. The main idea of the scene will be Sophie and Horatio's morning routines. The first time we show this scene Horatio ad Sophie will be themselves, they will be completing their everyday morning tasks matching the character well .For instance, for Sophie all tasks will be done clearly to show she is a girly girl and very dependant on image. Whereas, Horatio will complete all his tasks lazily due to not being bothered about his image and bored of his life. We then will develop the scene for the next appearance showing the transformation beginning. Sophie will begin to complete tasks including the influence of Horatio and vice versa. And then finally the scene will show the full transformation and how it is unable to return to the previous character. Below you can see the listing of the occurrences within the scene so we are able to refer back to this list to ensure all steps are included in each scene although changed each time.

1. Wake up, yawn and stretch.
2. Go to the mirror, rinse face with water.
3. Move to the table and make and begin breakfast.
4. Push breakfast away and turn to watch the TV.
5. Realise the time and rush to begin getting ready.
6. Reaches the mirror and brushes teeth.
7. Horatio shaves and Sophie does make up.
8. Go to closet/draws and begin to get dressed.
9. Rush out to the car and begin journey to work.
10. Horatio shouts at another driver then puts the radio on.
11. Sophie begins singing to radio until reaches destination.
12. Horatio and Sophie bump into one another then rush off into different directions.

Depending on the transformation will depend on who does which activity. For instance, within the first scene Sophie will do her make up and Horatio will shave. Although, within the second time Sophie picks up a razor and brings to her face then stops and Horatio does the same with some lipstick. Within the final showing of the scene Horatio and Sophie just continue with these happenings. Horatio puts on his make up and Sophie shaves, this shows the full transformation completed. We will be using split staging to show the routines happening at the same times and the same routines being done in different ways. Overall, I feel as though the work of myself and Danny creating these scene has allowed me to build on my characterisation more and ensure that the character I am planning on bringing across to the audience is established clearly and successfully. It also ensures that we show the transformation between the characters clearly and that the audience is up to date and is fully aware of the happenings of our narrative.
