UNIT 12: Discussion of The Roles of The Principles

Discussion of The Roles of The Principles



In the images and links below, myself and Felicia constructed a fairly detailed mind map across two boards, to present our understanding of the meaning of the scene, the role we play and how it contributes to the themes of the production. Unfortunately, as the video was quite long it was difficult for me to upload. So I have created a YouTube link for viewing purposes.The video has been shortened but I will explain the parts missing.

The first picture above is some key dialogue we felt was important to the scene. The board also includes the props we plan to use and symbolic actions we have implemented into our characters and the scene.

"This is your principal"
...

"Mr Brain..."
...

"Washer"

The lines above are shared between the three principals. What I didn't realise when reading through the lines was that they linked to form the phrase 'Brain Washer'. This pun was intended to indicate that principals in schools in that era were highly influential and controlling that they were basically brain washing the children into following their believes and ways of live.

This second board focuses on what I felt was an epiphany to me in the script - World War Three. Because as I went on to explain it I realised there is no World War Three! So it was used to be a metaphor.
