Ernie’s
Incredible Illucinations 2 “As a director”
To practice I would make them play
it like a game. First they would get 100 points. Whenever they turned their back to the audience,
forgot there lines or did something they weren’t meant to they would have 1
point deducted and whoever had the most points at the end would win. This would
encourage them to keep to their role and remember their lines. Another thing I would
do is when there practicing their role I would make them think as if they were
in that situation so they would not just say their lines they would sort of live them, this will
make the play sound more realistic. If something like the boxers sleeve
unrolled I would tell them to re roll it like there character would so the boxer
would roll it up in one hand while holding his other hand in a punching position.
I position auntie may Ernie and the man
in the back right corner of the stage so there half facing the audience and
half facing the ring so the audience still gets the impression that they are
watching the boxing while the audience can still clearly see their faces. The
boxer would be in the centre of the stage facing towards the audience with the
referee standing behind him to the left, this would make it seem like the referee
is slightly scared of the boxer and his abilities. When auntie may steps into
the ring the boxer will slightly turn that way just enough to see her while
having his face still visible to the audience this will mean the audience can
still see his facial expressions and hear him while still getting the
impression of him looking at auntie may. All of these things will produce a well-organized
play which looks professional.
