Our Ideas

STORYLINE

Brainstorming ideas (writing up notes from private class sessions)

Group:

-Myself

-James Owen - Scene Leader

-Daisy Spicer

-Chloe Prior

-Janay

Our Precise Brief: 

-Safe haven gone 'wrong'

-Someone has been infected (quiet one) being protected

-Ends up turning on other people

Site Specific:

-Campout

-Teachers and students (Duke of Edinburgh)

-18th Party/Student Night Out

(Coming back from a night out; some taking drugs or alcohol then we realise that we're in a zombie infested area and we look for a safe place to hideout. We stumble on Humanitas Gardens which is down the road from The Red Hart (our starting point) and take refuge there.)

-'Honest Sanctuary' - 'the safe haven' we've created is where we've been for months. We invite audience members in but we don't let them all leave. The idea was that we harvest what we need from the people we invite: clothes, water, and meat.

Risk Assessment:

Site Inventory:

Site Reading:

-My biggest concern in reference to the site were the close corners and narrow passageways. The entrance from the main road through to the garden left the entire front side of the shop vulnerable; the doorway between the back end of the shop and garden has an incredibly low ceiling accompanied with a high step to overcome. There is a lot of material that could be wrecked if not properly placed away. The site would need a reasonable amount of lighting as there are many trip hazards.
