Anti sex league - 1984

The following images are notes created by Iris, Amber Thornicroft, Hannah, Yasmin and I related to the Anti Sex League commitee for 1984. 

Above is an image of our group in costume whilst rehearsing our lecture. We were all extremely organised when getting our costumes and made sure to stay in contact throughout the entire process incase there were any problems or ideas that wanted to be put forward.

This is the link to the advert we created to show within our lecture. The idea was based around the consequences that would happen to anybody to not obey our rules. We stayed behind after school an filmed this collectively as a group with some help from rasaq and other theatre strand pupils to play other parts. Overall i think the advert turned out exactly how we wanted if not better as all ideas put forward were introduced how we wanted. The group effort was fantastic and we showed a great commitment throughout the entire divising of this piece. 

Here are some images for the Anti sex league leaflets we created.

Prezi

http://prezi.com/bjbmii4ygioq/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy
This is mine and Brinley's Prezi of our ideas for a 1984 narrative. We did it in first person as if this person was actually speaking as if he was in the moment. We had a creative idea on the piece to make it sound like it was a story or monologue through out the entire presentation. Our Prezi now includes sound to add effect.

Thought ideas for 1984 performance

This idea was to use a live camera and film in a back room what may look like room 101 and a scared close up of somebody panicking to get out of the room. The idea of it being projected onto a radiator makes it look more abstract, or we could project it onto people.

We tested our idea onto boxes first but decided on doing it on a radiator on peoples white boiler suits for a better, more abstract affect.

This is our idea when the lights were off so it was clearer (We used a live video camera and a projector, if we had a longer lead it would be able to go into the back room where things would look more enclosed and have a more 101 feeling)

 

Our further ideas were to use sheets and light to show silhouettes of bodies to add an abstract affect. We would use our own voices to scream to add effect as well.
