Towards the end of our show, we started to finalise all of the delusion which will take place within the show. Leaving us only with Emma’s character Louisa  remaining to have her delusion, with the story line explaining her character gave up love for her job and she did not gain the position, leaving her character in a position of questioning whatever she made the right choice.

For this final delusion, we wanted to explore other contemporary styles other then our previous sections such as physical theatre, dance and mime. This lead towards the group decision to explore how media could be applied to our performance. The group wanted to start by agreeing that this should be about her life, in the style show what her life could of been if she had chosen love over work.

(PrimMichael JA, 2009).

Our, group took inspiration from the sit-com Scrubs season eight final. This episode was the characters JD’s  exit from the show, showing how his time at Sacred Heart and he began to think about what the future would bring (scrubs, 2009). 

The group thought this style of projecting the future through home movies would be a interesting style in how to finish our show and the last delusion. The video would allow the audience to see the life that Louisa had chosen not to pursue as well give the audience a style of media which could be consisted quite relateable if the video is shot in a home movie style, making the piece more moving.

After agreeing that this video was a style of performance that we wanted to presue, i began to research songs which may fit this style of video. My final choice was Billy Joel’s She’s always a women (1977). The song ironically expresses how women are strong indiviauls which i believe suits Emma’s character, as throughout the play we see here cold business women style, however i believe with this song it could contrast this character showing her more loving emotional side.
