1. How can we improve what we have done in class?
There is still a long way to go from the scene we created in class. The dynamics between characters could and should be improved to make the message of the scene more clearer. Also the characters themselves should be further developed to rounder and more versatile beings, rather than just characters that don't have a meaning. Also, the storyline needs more work to it so that it will have a clearer course and actually an idea that moves the story forward and gives dimension to the over all appearance.
2. What more research do we need?
Our group definitely needs more research about the 1800 and early 1900's, where the scene is most likely to be set, and how the society worked back then. The dynamics between servants and the master of the house could also be a useful research point, especially looking into how female servants were treated and how servants themselves treated one another. Also questions like, what was the difference between a female and a male servant and how their tasks differed, could be useful to answer.
3. How can we use what we learned from today's exercises?
In class we studied how distance between two people affected the appearance of their relationship, no matter what they were talking about. A simple discussion about seeing someone you know and going to a grocery store, turned into a stalker having their first encounter with their victim. This method could be used to tell a back story to two characters, whether if knew each other before or not and what their relation to each other is now.
