Aids Orphan

Our group made many changes to the original script. Like every other rough copy this script also had mistakes so we started fixing those mistakes and adding in some feeling. Usually when a person just sits in a room and types a script the script comes out to be very boring. But if the group starts improvising and noting some lines that might be useful really helps the whole process of making the script interesting. One of the main things we added to our script was the ending of the scene where the landlord asks for the rent and how the main character has to say goodbye to his little sisters and leave them with his aunt. During then class we did not improvise much but we combined efforts and made our script much more powerful and influential on the audience.

There was a time problem in our group because in the first 45 minutes all of the group was a awake ready to contribute but the last 20 minutes of the class just went to waste and felt like the longest 20 minutes of my life. Another time problem was that we were not organized at all. We spent all our time fixing our scripts but none of the time was taken to improvise except maybe 15 minutes of the double lesson.

This time my group and I have to be a lot more organized and I do not think that there is an actual order we should do things in. But between the double classes we should have maybe a short break to play a game or even go to the bathroom. Then I believe that the class will come back ready to work. The reason why I don’t think that we should do everything in order is because we can improvise and make additions to the script and also block at the same time. Also every group needs a leader. On Tuesdays lesson people were taking responsibilities but this did not mean that they were assigned leaders of the group. These were the people who wrote the scripts and knew what to do and they were getting frustrated having to tell everybody what to do.
