Hi, Here's the link to the final fmp https://1drv.ms/w/s!Ak8GBBrke0gdikF0GPnhD6cABtUo

On the first week of rehearsals we did a  read through of our  lines to try and understand our character. During this Process I struggled as I didn't know how I wanted to define Pez.  To improve this I will focus more on the research aspect so I can develop my character. I have however learnt about other characters of the script seeing there personalitys and responses first hand

# data[].attributes.body
For week two we have continued to learn our lines during the rehearsal process we have also put together the foundation of what we want the set to look like for example, tables and chairs.

During this weeks rehearsal process I still struggled to grasp how I wanted my character to be, whilst everyone was adding traits and depth to their character I still struggled. This resulted in my lines sounding monotone when running through the script. To improve this I will take inspiration from my peers in terms of their character building but also do further research so I can understand Pez more. Despite me still not defining my character I have learnt a lot of my peers

# data[].attributes.body
We were able to block scene 1, 2 and 3 all together. I was able to grasp my character Pez better this week as my research and character research helped. To improve for the future I need to learn my lines so I am not limited from holding my script

# data[].attributes.body
On week four we were limited in the fact that the level 3s had scaffolding in our rehearsal room this meant that we Pureley focused on theory work which helped the group however i feel it didn't really benefit me  in terms of developing my character.

In terms of improving I would say its the same goal as last week 'improving my lines'.

Ben wanted create a peice where the characters go through a phase of gaining access power by doing this the characters realise that there actions have consequences beyond the walls of the portacabin. The characters now have a responsibility to themselves one another and to society. In the play there are three circles:
The inner circle (how the characters are feeling)
The secondary circle : there relationship to the people in the cabin
The third circle:  how the portacabin relates to the rest of the world
Every character has opinions and makes choices according to what they think therefore every characters argument has validity and isn't just shooting at the wind.
This makes the play more interesting and richer.

An Inspector Calls by J B Priestley, is a play that revolves around the apparent suicide of a young woman called Eva Smith.

In the play, the unsuspecting Birling family are visited by the mysterious Inspector Goole. He arrives just as they are celebrating the engagement of Sheila Birling to Gerald Croft. The Inspector reveals that a girl called Eva Smith, has taken her own life by drinking disinfectant. The family are horrified but initially confused as to why the Inspector has called to see them. What follows is a tense and uncomfortable investigation by an all-knowing Inspector through which the family discover that they are all in fact caught up in this poor girl's death.

I believe this in similar to hacktivists as it focuses on social responsibility for example

Priestley is interested in our personal responsibility for our own actions and our collective responsibility to society, to take care of one another through a shared responsibility.

This is similar to hacktivists in the sense that the portacabin group is given the power to effect the outside walls of the portacabin through there actions, it is there responsibility to ensure they use they're power Wisley. In both plays the people neglected their responsibility and refused to acknowledge the consequences for others

Gaslight is a 1944 American mystery-thriller film, adapted from Patrick Hamilton's 1938 play Gas Light, about a woman whose husband slowly manipulates her into believing that she is going insane. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay; winning two for Best Actress and Best Production Design.

I believe this play is similar to hacktivists in the way how Beth manipulates the group to do her bidding. I don't however think that her manipulation tactics are as severe as that in gaslight

Grey hat hackers are the little grey area between black hat hackers and white hat hackers (pun intended) so they may hack into a database and leak the information or inform the organisation.

Because a grey hat hacker doesn't use there skills for gain so they can't be considered black hat hackers Also because they are not legally authorised to hack the organisation they can't be considered white hat hackers

Hugs is quite a unique character in the play.
She is a daring character who isn't afraid to face reality and want to make a difference. In the play her lines often serve to raise tension within the portacabin group or to calm the tension of the portacabin group  although the former is used most.

Hugs is Able to change the moods and tensions  of the portacabin through funny or aggravating remarks.

Hugs gains more of an influence when Beth arrives and often acts as the mouthpiece for her through out the play.

For the first week of our fmp rehearsal process we were focused on blocking and setting each scene for scene 1 and 2.

Not many people are off script including myself but we are all motivated to learn them so we can develop our characters and further the development of the play

This week of the rehearsal carried on with blocking scenes together however we weren't able to achieve what we wanted  as many people didn't show up for rehearsals

The writer Ben ockrent suggested it could be useful to think about the group as a desperate bunch of characters who outside of the cabin feel lonely and isolated but through hackers pace they have found each other even though they have different opinions there is always that underlying factor that they are alone outside the group. This could be why they go to such measure to carry out Beth's ideas as they are scared of being neglected

alexithymia is a condition where you cant identify feelings . a person interviewed on his condition said that most of his responses are learned response and in an environment when everyone is happy and jolly it feels like he's acting and lying. he said he cant identify emotions so he feels something but he cant distinguish what that is. a common misconception is that they cant explain how they feel but someone with alexithymia would say I have no idea how I'm suppose to be feeling or what this thing is I'm feeling.

Allan Schwartz stated that alexithymia means there is:

difficulty identifying feelings and distinguishing between feelings and bodily sensations

2. difficulty describing feelings to other people
3. limited imagination and therefore little or no fantasies and limited dreams.
4. an unawareness of what is happening in their own mind and very concrete way of thinking.

My take on Pez is that he has alexithymia so he cant identifying emotions. He feels neutral due to his alexithymia and most of his responses are learned. He clings to his laptop and considers it his only friend, he finds research and logic the best way to learn more about emotions he has a tendency to come of as arrogant however doesn't understand the affect he has on the group he is often seen intently listening or watching trying to understand

Our data show that both individuals with prototypic alexithymia and psychopathy lack empathy and insight and are not introspective. The prototypic person with alexithymia, however, is anxious, overcontrolled, submissive, boring, ethically consistent, and socially conforming, whereas the prototypic individual with psychopathy is anxiety-free, under controlled, dominant, charming, deceitful, and nonconforming.

I got a lot of inspiration from Robert downey Jr's Iron man.

I likend them in terms of them both being smart and having the ability to make a change with the knowledge they have whether that be good or bad.

I also wanted Pez to be quite arrogant because he is smart and knows he is better then others despite this he doesn't know how his arrogance effects others whereas Robert downey Jr's iron man thrives in his arrogance and the effect it has on others.

Those are the inspirations I took from that character but studying Robert downey Jr's character I was able to draw a line between the two.

For example whilst Tony stark is incredibly smart he often turns to his emotional intelligence when faced with an ultimatum.  Where as Pez has alexithymia so  he cant rely on that  therefore his decisions can often be completely on logic or made on an emotion that he has dived to far into. ( I explained this in character development for Pez).

Expanding my character through Stella Adler

Expanding my character through Stella Adler 

# data[].attributes.body
stella Adler's unique outlook on acting helped me to mould my character to better  degree then if I hadn't used some of her ideas.

For example stella Adler  believes that building imagination is a key part of being a good actor and often encourages her actors to aks' where they are 'in the scene and play.

I believe she aks this so the actors  can understand the context of where they are and then use they're intellect to branch of into questions like, how would someone walk in this era? How would they speak? Has their upbringing affected them?  (I could go on)

So from this simple question stella Adler has created numerous pathways. This has not only helped me to develop Pez in my own eyes but also how see how my character molds into the group of the portacabin that in itslef leads to more questions this process can go on forever and is much like life endless outcomes with uncertainty through out.

This method helps you to not understand  character but to  completely be that character to point where you are someone else completely with natural responses and not a person playing a role. you are not on stage but wherever the play is set.

That is why I have decided to focus on Stella's adler aspect of building imagination and asking questions.  So I can build Pez in my own image.

# data[].attributes.body
I describe Beth and Pez as the deadly duo because my groups perspective on Beth is that she is a physcopath meaning she has little to no emotion and will manipulate and use others to further her gain or reach a goal this can be particularly dangerous from Pez's perspective as he has alexithymia so he can go to deep into a dangerous emotion and not know it.  Beth is smart and knows that Pez is intelligent but she also knows he is succeptible to manipulation. She manipulates him and uses his logic and alexthymia to cause destruction

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's fair to say that Pez's objective for scene 1 is quite simple, to fix the card reader entry system along with drew so the group can get in and out of the portacabin

Kevin mitnick wasn't the most tech savvy compared to all of the other  infamous hackers, he was, however very good at social engineering to get things like numbers, passwords and emails he also used social engineering to travel around L. A by bus for free.
He did this through buying a whole puncher and dumbster diving outside off the bus
station for blank tickets.

Kevin mitnick before incarceration had gained access to dozens of computer networks.
When he was a fugitive he used to clone cellular phones to hide his location.

Beth is a dangerous and manipulating character throughout play she is a physco path so has little to know emotion and manipulates people to get to her goal.

She is Able to completely take control off the portacabin group within minutes of walking through door even getting the group to turn on their former leader and friend Archie.

Beth is catalyst for destruction within the portacabin her ability to change the views of the group make her a formidable character

# data[].attributes.body
The relationship of the portacabin group is quite strange in terms of the fact that they are together in the portacabin due to their social circumstances however not all of them are friends for example Seb and drew seem to be friends due to them high fiving each other and singing together. Whereas the rest of the group don't convey any signs of friendship they are Just together due to being neglected by others

This changes slightly when Beth comes along she manipulates them through their feelings of being socially refused and ultimately unites them to a goal regardless of how bad it is

The portacabins relationship to the outside group at first is non existent they even describe the portacabin as a means of escape telling us that they are on the fridges of social interaction. This changes when Beth arrives she convinces them to make a change outside of the portacabin, which is daunting to the group at first however due to them being socially oppressed for majority of their life they choose to make a change
