Drama GCSE – Oh what a lovely war (Working Record – Individual contribution to the chosen brief)

For the performance I did a lot of preparation in my research of propaganda and profiteering at war so my performance had more background to it and I could improve the way that I would act in a war like environment. I also contributed the ending of myself pulling out a gun and the lights fading out and the only thing you hear is a gunshot in the end to get the audience to wonder who in the end was shot, whether it was my character or the millionaire or even the general. I also contributed a lot of the context to the piece like the profiting of war and the death of a brother type figure to create anger for my character to end up killing someone but it’s left to the audience to decide who dies.
