In this session, our group completed planning by writing up a final script which was scribed by Elliot. It includes the stage directions for each of the characters and their dialogue. Small changes were made to this script in order to perfect it. For example, when Isabelle hands Tommy the brief case, he says "Big case isn't it", Isabelle's original line was "Does it matter?" but we decided to make it a bit more witty by changing the line to "Does size matter?".
This minor change helps to create a funnier atmosphere to the prelim task.
In the second half of this session, our group began filming. In order to do this, I had to get props from the drama department in order to sustain the verisimilitude. The prop I used was a briefcase, although one side of it was cut out so we had to improvise.
The briefcase largely helped to make the task seem more realistic and give a wider meaning. We also used a picture of Ed Barker as a prop, to show the audience who had been kidnapped for the ransom.
