Sound.

Sound was a large part of our piece and began and started it.

We began by hitting the lockers in pattern which helped recreate the noise of a train, as the train sped up, we added more people banging until it eventually faded out. We also had a few soundscapes to help capture the noises of the scene.

The first was a series of whooses like a train going on tracks and at different pitches and different levels of volume was created quite successfully. The second one was a 'heaven' soundscape for after the bomb goes off. This was mde from the noises of birds tweeting, happy sighs, happy humming, dripping water and a light breeze. We hoped this would put the audience into a confusion as they would be unsure whether the characters died or not- as they were sitting normally, it was almost eerie.

We used the song 'Tragedy' to contrast the effect of a huge tragedy happening, but the lightheartedness people make of it. Dancing to the song we used very angular movements, like a train jerking down a platform, the music continued but it was unsure as we were all very staccato.
