I have learnt over the last few weeks that my idea can be expanded through a wide variety of ways, whether they be looking at one scene in detail, three columns exercise, or using objects to create a little scenario, three objects (in my scenario these objects were a pen, a piece of paper and a pair of sunglasses).
The three columns task made me add to specific details to the scene I was writing about.
Detail one
The song Duncan is trying learning on his guitar, Four Colour World, is a song where the singer cannot work out why they love who they are singing to. But because the audience and Eric learn that he has been cheating in this scene the song is meant to question which girl he is singing about.
Detail two
The comic that Eric is reading, Mad Love. Mad love is a story abut the Batman character Harley Quinn and her loving/abusive relationship with the Joker, loving only from one side (Harley's). The relationship in the book partly echoes Duncan and Amber's relationship, which can be told through Eric's dialogue.
Both of the exercises I have mentioned have helped me by developing one section of a character or scene, the song Duncan is trying to learn and the way Eric acts when he is secretly spying on Duncan when he thinks he is cheating. It has helped me to think of ways in which media can be used during the performance, unless I can find a way to put this idea on stage, I will use some sort of screen to project me onto as if watching Duncan from a far.
