We then read several monologues on theme of death row. We also listened to a piece of music.
The monologue was supposed to be sad, so the music went with the slow pace of the monologues which gives it a sadder feeling
We were then told to create a performance using the monologues and the music.
In our play we did a role-play about a guy called Esmond Willis who killed a shopkeeper for $200 and was sentenced to a lethal injection on Death row. So we got into groups and picked the parts we were playing. Are play started of with Danny walking slowly up to the stage and sat down with the spot light on him and said his monologue why I renacted the killing of the shop keeper. Then Abby said her monologue then ste said his monologue then Kim then I said mine. Then we formed a circle around Danny shouting out MURDER, YOUR GONA DEI, YOU’LL PAY we projected are voices out to the audience then at the end we all shouted murder then Danny screamed then we had a black out.
We played the music at the start of the play when Danny walks up on the stage then we used dimmer lights for when we said are monologues and we used the big spot light again for are ending.
We altered are facial expressions by scrunching are face up and tried to look serious by keeping a straight face and staring at the audience. By doing this We were trying to make the play as serious as possible.
Evaluation of our Performance
I think we worked together well and this made are performance that little bit better I thought it was good when Danny screamed and that made it a dramatic ending.
I think my performance was good because I did a bit more than the rest of the people in my group and I put more facial expressions in my performance.
In a group we could have done better by turning up on the test day and we could of leant are monologues a bit better than we did.
Evaluate the whole Project
I enjoyed this because I was in a good group that worked together and It give me a lot more confidence.
I found this project a bit more difficult than the rest because we had to do this evaluation on it and we had to learn are monologue as well.
I think we all contributed as a group and listened to every ones suggestions so that is not fair to say someone did more than someone eles.
