We began this lesson by casting our scene and then reading through the script. Ollie Marshall was given the part of Christopher, as he is the lightest and easiest person for all the lifts. The rest of our cast list is as follows:
- Lorna - Siobhan // Voice 2 // Punk Girl
- Ollie K - Voice 4 // Station Guard // Man with socks
- James - Voice 1 // Voice 3 // Ed
- Kat - Information // Voice 5 // Shopkeeper
We then read through our scene again and worked out what parts of the dialogue we wanted to be spoken live and what parts were going to be recorded. All of Christopher's lines will be spoken live as the focus should be on him. Although we are using physical theatre as our acting style, we still wanted to our dialogue to be effective and work well with the scene. The scene between Christopher, Punk Girl and Man with socks will also be live as this is a naturalistic scene which requires naturalistic movement. The scene between Christopher and the Shopkeeper will also be live. However, all of the Voice lines will be recorded as we can then focus on our movement and have effective sounding dialogue. Moreover, Ed, Siobhan and Information will be pre-recorded as these characters are not actually there with Christopher.
For our Voice dialogue we want the lines to all overlap slightly and be quite fast paced to create the busy atmosphere of London. It is this busy environment that makes Christopher extremely uncomfortable and break down.
