Critical Analysis of Presentations

I carry chosen to analyse the work of Jamie Hackshaw (Son), Danny Hods all told ( tyro) and Lee Green (Doctor), and my own groups presentation, which were both based on breach the intelligence agency of cancer. Danny Hodsalls group portrayed the news of cancer being at sea to a Father and Son in a Doctors Surgery. Ours involved the news being broken initially to the victims daughter, and then to the rest of the family. In Dannys group, the restore was positioned with his back to the auditory modality.This was effective beca go for it meant that the focus was not on his face, just on the reactions of the Father and Son. It might have created a problem with acoustics and blocked the audiences good deal of the Father and Sons faces, but was avoided by the way the actors positioned themselves. The Doctor spoke obstreperously to compensate. In our group, I (Julie) was incorrectly positioned, with my back to the audience during the second scene, which I feel might have impaired th e audiences view of my reaction, and the reactions of other members of the group.In the Doctors Surgery, fewer characters and no unnecessary conversations made a strong touch, focussing on reactions when the news is broken. This also meant it felt realistic. One problem with victorious this approach could be that there was less opportunity for personalities to be conveyed to the audience through interaction with others. In my opinion, the impact of the news was greater because the personalities of the characters were not elaborated on. In our presentation, the story was slightly to a greater extent complex, as more characters were involved.It focused on the situation in which the characters found out, as soundly as their reactions. This could be considered a disadvantage, as it took attention away from the impact of the bad news. However, one advantage of having a larger group of characters would be that personalities are easily distinguished/ recognised due to interaction with others. The shift of scene in our presentation added variety. Scene two added to the tension/ worthlessness of the situation, as the family had just sat down to a quiet dinner when the news was revealed, causing chaos.Important aspects of both presentations were the Parent/Child relationships. In the Doctors Surgery, a stereotypical Father/ son relationship was illustrated by use of language. An example of this was the Fathers comment to his son At least youll get to have time off school This and other reassuring comments (from the son also) gave the gist that Father and Son were hiding their emotions from each other, although clearly their fears were just at a lower place the surface.In contrast, the find-and-Daughter relationship between Emma (Sarah) and Charmaine (Hannah) was honest and blunt they communicated their opinions and emotions without restraint or much concern about upsetting the other. This behaviour is stereotypical of Mother and daughter relationships, as is t he reserved behaviour of Father and Son. I estimate both presentations could be improved by varying the reactions of the family members. In the Doctors Surgery, the Father and Son both react by suppressing their emotions, while in our presentation, all of Sarahs daughters reacted similarly, in anger.
