We were given a certain room to create a scene inside and to set up. We had to think about assets and properties of the space plus multimedia opportunities. These locations need to link to the original story of 1984. My group was given O'Brien's office, meaning I need to research what O'Brien's office was like in the original story. I will need to establish what props and set is appropriate to the story and action. I need to work in three dimensions meaning I will need to consider and plan what happens inside and outside the room.
Our ideas
Have rows of tables with laptops and computers on them with people working at every desk, engrossed in their work. At the front their will be one desk standing alone with the main worker at the front. His screen will be projected onto a bigger screen, perhaps the wall behind them. The other workers will have files on their screen about the audience, that will be sent after the information is given at the front desk. If you have a file of someone that walks into the room, the worker may call over a security member, show them the file and then the security will take them away. When the revolution begins all screens will go black and an alarm bell will start ringing.
The back rooms will be two separate scenes. One will be O'Brien's dressing room. We thought it would be quite ironic that in a world were there is no privileges for normal people, we could show that some people, like O'Brien still have luxuries. The other room would be like a police room. There will be a map and wanted posters on the wall with people files and 'evidence' on a white board. There will be tables where we interview audience members.
Other Rooms
Room 101- videos on each wall of discomforting things. A box with someone gagged and bound inside. Strobe lights to make an intense atmosphere. Lull the audience into a false sense of security before they enter. Red liquid on the walls and lights. Files on torture techniques and last confessions.
Food hall- hidden cameras. Announcements in the food hall. If someone is whispering they'll be taken out for torture/interrogation. Food- soup in one big pot, bread. They will come in small portions. Bags of flour along the wall. Put couples on different tables making them mingle and get involved. One guard. Simple uniform.
Courtyard- directly after reception. The fire door from O'Brien's- someone will burst through and then be taken back in by guards. The audience will become alert. Dummy hung from the tree; could be an act of resistance. Scavengers in the bins.
Fitness area- people not getting involved will be taken away. Announcements and orders from the government. Revolution will start there.
Grass area- big space. When it's dark have lights on the floor, laying out a path for people. Little screams can be heard. Whilst people are being escorted back in, some will be taken of course by rebels. Restricted areas will be marked with police tape- makes sure audience do not get lost. Hidden cameras in the trees.
