We began by running the basic outline of our piece using the voice recording to see where we could start making developments. As we spent a while focused one the first scene, where Chloe is playing our main character as a child, we made a couple developments that we came across whilst devising from what we had previously created. For example, instead of simply having Chloe drawing simplistic drawings on the white paper, we've decided that she will be painting to place emphasis on the character's age at that stage. Also, we wanted to have a larger interaction with the audience so we're going to have Chloe run around and through the audience.
To symbolise the memories following the main character throughout her life, we developed it so that Chloe follows the audience up to the next level where Tia carries our her scene as the teenage stage of the main character's life. Then, both her and Tia take the place of her middle aged self as she is putting up the posters from WW2. Also, after listening to the voice over - we decided to also have pieces of music that signify each age of our main character at each level: eg; a children's nursery rhyme after the first level. This will not only help ease the transitions up the levels for the audience, but also establish the ages and time frame each level represents.
We also developed, that when it gets to my level - I'm playing her as a middle aged woman, that both Chloe and Tia follow up and join me and as I scrunch up the letters after writing them, they start to unravel them and stick them to the wall. This is to represent how constant the reminder of her brother is in her life and how she would never be able to let him and her actions go.
