Following the video of the 1st stumble through of the first half of the piece, we all sat and watched the footage, making sure we made notes, positive and negative, what weaknesses and strengths were etc.
When watching it, I decided to evaluate it section by section in this order, so when we came to discussing it was very easy to feedback.
The main point we all felt was there was a need for more clarification with the storyline and underlining message. It was still a bit unclear what the antagonists roles were and how we slipped from the past to present, and what there journeys were. What was surprising was the amount of material we actually had, which was a real encouragement for the company, that even though it was very rusty, we had the basic structure in place.
Apart from clarification, it also highlighted where our gaps were in the story. We all agreed a timeline was in need, so we could all visually see the piece with the chapters. That was our aim before we continued, as there were still questions on the order of scenes and how the story developed. To allow us to continue devising, we needed to make sure every member of the company was on exactly the same page.
The video was really helpful to see the material we had so far, also to sit back and watch it from an audience point of view allowed us to see whether we ourselves understood what was going on. If not, clarification and pushing that message further was something we needed to focus on.
