Promenade theatre and chorus.

Today we were given the location at the school in which our scene will take place. We were given an outside site, this makes sense as our scene is Creon addressing the people of Thebes (chorus). We were given the courtyard and the fire exit balcony. I thought that this was fantastic as Creon will stand at the top of the balcony and address the chorus the same way as kings or queens used to do. It also would make the characters classes more distinct as Creon is of born of wealth, therefore he is higher up in the social hierarchy. Because of this, Creon would be placed on the balcony to symbolise his higher authority over the chorus, who are lower down the hierarchy and placed below him in the courtyard.

I don't particularly like the distance between the placement of Creon and the audience. The distance would be quiet significant meaning that it would be difficult for them to hear my lines. Mr Crowther said he would like me to use a megaphone to project my voice. This is a good idea as the audience would actually hear me. But, I would prefer to set up a microphone to some speakers as a megaphone would distort my voice and make my diction unclear. Although they would almost certainly hear me, the wouldn't understand me. So a microphone would make it louder and clearer. 

When multimedia comes into play, there isn't a lot we can work with because the performance will take place in spring time meaning daylight hours will be lengthening. This means we cannot use any lighting equipment such as mobile phones or torches as it would be too bright to use them. We also won't be able to use a projector in any form because of the same reason. We are very restricted with the use of multimedia even if we do have a lot of ideas.
