Our Group decided on the skills, which were mime and sounds. We felt that multimedia would not be so appropriate after all. The story had already been changed too. The angel story was too abstract. And there were too many loopholes identified during our first showcase.
We met up during the weekend and we changed the entire story and DV. We decided to touch uopon stereotypes prevalent in the society, in which it touch upon the issue of money. The story goes about how a beggar, a businessman a bimbo and the businessman's wife all aim just for cash. The story was meant to be comedic since the skill used is mime. Also, the DV has been changed to something like, How everyone aims for money in this world. We decided to work on something that is prevalent in the society so that it is not so abstract and can be easily connected to the audience. Moreover, touching the topic on beggar nad money, will add flavour to the comedic nature of the mime itself.
I have also checked that modern mime and Marcel Marceau are actually connected. It is because of marcel marceau that we now got moden mime. He made a break through to modern mime. He was the man who evetually created the 'mimodrama' which is commonly known now as mime. He is famous for his 'Bip' character in pantomime. Mime basically focuses a lot on expression, and movements(particularly the hands).
The set for this was decided to be in the park. we wanted the all scenes to take place at only 1 location, therefore we felt a park would be the best place to set it. Since we are doing modern mime, the cosyumes decided were costumes that peole today would wear like suits etc.
