Whilst I was reviewing my character, I felt like something was missing. When people watched our piece they gave us the impression that they got a sense of what our message was, however it didn't quite "click". So I reviewed my character, and pinpointed the message that I was trying to convey, which was that the voice of the people wasn't being heard and that nobody knew of or cared about their struggles. So I began to think about how my news reporter character was relevant to that message.
Eventually I decided to change my news reporter to an MP. The performance is very political, and a news reporter would be far more appropriate if we were trying to convey a message about journalism.
I have decided to have the opening monologue be giving the same message - that many are unemployed and homeless however the government just doesn't care - but in the form of a speech by an MP. The final monologue will be done in the same way.
