One Scene 3 Ways
I thought that the exercise was not only entertaining, but it helped to give us insight. Like if one scene can be presented many different ways then a writer who is writing something for the stage needs to be very precise about what they want to see on the stage. If they give the director a lot of lee way on how his script can be interpreted then the director will use it. It also helped us to see how in our minds different types of characters are usually portrayed in our minds and how media has a lot to do with that. For example in our script in which we had Saddam Hussein and George Bush Saddam was portrayed as the villain and Bush was portrayed as a hero, but in that part of the world maybe Bush wouldn’t be considered as a hero. A lot of what an audience is going to assume comes from what the media and their environment makes them believe.
