Today we worked on a catwalk scene. In this scene it was particularly important that we showed a major contrast between my character (The Good Fairy) and Charlotte Trimble's character (The Bad Fairy) so myself and Charlotte really took the time to make sure we were constantly interacting with each other and organising small things we could do to show off our character's personalities. We did this by making my character's physicality very bouncy and energetic, whereas Charlotte's was slow and sluggish. We also played around with voice, mine being high pitched, excitable and slightly "cringey". Charlotte's however was slow and deep. We also showed Charlotte's dark side by making her trip up one of the ugly sisters during her catwalk, and we were considering having her try sabotage the other contestants catwalks.

We also wanted to show off the sister's personalities so we made Matt Holley's character have an extremely jealous and bitter reaction to coming in 3rd place to her sisters. We decided to show off the magic powers that the fairies hold by making Charlotte Trimble's character silence Matt without even touching him, as if taking away his voice. Then, when he goes to attack Cinderella, she simple waves her hand at him and propels him to the ground. This is intended not only to add a bit of magic to the scene and remind the audience that this is no ordinary fashion show, but also to show more of the bad fairy's no-nonesense attitude.
Matthew Brierly's character was thrilled to receive 2nd place, although we have discussed as a group possibly changing this. Although Matthew Brierly is the less confrontational of the two sisters, he should still be bitter about being 2nd place. We also discussed making him less angry, but more disappointed in himself, he could perhaps call himself "ugly" or say how he will never be as pretty as Cinderella. Matt Holley's character could then evily turn Matthew against Cinderella in the scene immediately after.

Looking back on the video of our scene, we need to script Charlotte Morley's (Cinderella's) winning speech, as she told us she was stuck for what to say. We want the character to be very modest and thankful so that the audience like her and root for her throughout the piece. We also need to have the music come back in at the end of the scene, as myself and Charlotte Trimble walk back up the catwalk however this depends on how the scene immediately after will start. If it starts with the sisters walking on immediately then perhaps we will cut the music.
