In my group we used four strategies in our play they were Freeze frame narration cross conversation and a flash back. I will now explain these individually.

I chose freeze frame as it is good to represent an important part of the play and gets he audience attention in such away so they really get interested and freeze frames can b used at any point. I used the freeze frame when every one suddenly goes silent just before Kevin wets himself and when the tension is at its highest point this breaks the tension but the audience still does not know what will happen next. The freeze frame is all the people standing around Kevin mouths wide open with very excited faces almost red with excitement at that it adds to the tension as it looks as if everyone would explode with excitement. I wanted the audience to really want to know what happens next and they cant wait for the next part its to kind of make them feel like one of the excited people in the freeze frame. I think the freeze frame was a very effective part of the play as it really did grab the attention of the audience, as I wanted it to.

The 2nd one I chose was narration I chose this cause in most scenes Kevin has some narration to do and why shouldn’t he in this one it is also a good way for the audience to know what the other characters do not this can add to tension within the audience as they know what the characters should and shouldn’t say so it give even more of a chance to put the tension really high up. It is used as the last thing in the scene as Kevin talks to himself about how he feels and how annoyed he is that no one understands him. While he is saying this it puts the audience back onto a low note, as it has just been fast and furious comedy to a sad and slow narration. It was not as effective as expected it almost in a way dulled the whole scene and made the audience forget about the just seen comedy.

The 3rd one I chose was cross conversation, I used it because it is a good way to show something at a very high pace and because two or more conversations are going on at the same time it all become very hectic making a great effect on how mixed up everyone is in this scene. It was used all the way through the scene except the end after it had gone quite the conversations where about bets on Kevin who was for and who was against people arguing over what they think the outcome would be and over all this ...
