Above is a picture of my group having a discussion about our chosen place.

Our time became very intense as we bounced off each other with unique ideas some of which consisted of using strobe lighting to show the effects of the lighting when the lift broke and fake blood in balloons was a another suggestion as it would have a great effect visually with the strobe lighting and shows that some people got seriously injured.My suggestion was to cut wires to stick of the side of the lifts to represent the effects of the lift dropping and the damage.We played around with the lighting in the lift by making it pitch black using a coat to cover the light which stuck to the side of the lift.

The best part was experimenting with music inside the lift.One song which worked for our piece was Retrograde by James Blake as it has a slow,mysterious and distant melody and vocals.While listening to the music we tried reacting to it through physical theatre showing the slow death of the people who died in the lift based on the story we found.

Who are the audience and what is there function?

Our preliminary idea for the audience is that they are guests at a party in 1902 as the story were basing it on happened at a party in 1902.They will play the party guests and they people who looked down and into the lift once it fell.They will witness the whole event of the lift falling and they people ever so slowly dying.

Installation?

We planned to involve music and maybe even a voice over with simply sounds such as heavy breathing and screaming.

Do they know more about the place then i do?

As a group we are still contemplating on this however right now the audience know as much as we do.

what is our reaction if an audience member screams or cries?

We will place warning signs to show that what's in the lift may be a bit graphic.Plus because the audience are watching rather than being involved they can easily walk away from the piece.
