By: Philip

A)     Choose one issue you feel passionate about and explain why

      My global issue that I am passionate about is overpopulation. I choose overpopulation because our earth can only hold a limited capacity and we are almost at the breaking point with our population numbers. Number of factors is causing overpopulation, reduced morality rate, better medical facilities, depletion of precious resources are few of the cause which in overpopulation. I am passionate about overpopulation because I find it important that some people know that we cannot have too many people due to us destroying the environment and the whole earth. Right now we are living well but in a few years we are going to be killing ourselves.

b) Target audience: who is your piece aimed at? (age, demographic, gender, culture etc.)

      My target audience are teenagers and mainly female because female have a choice of how many kids and the number of children they want. My target is also mainly developing countries because they are the countries that have the most chance of overpopulation and those are the countries where overpopulation is occurring right now. E.g. Singapore is the worlds most overpopulated state in the world followed by Israel and Kuwait, china and India.

c) Drama techniques- Still image, Narration, Cross-cutting etc...

      My chosen drama technique is still image and narration, because I would think that the 2-technique fit in and work well with the global issue I have. I would say that we should use still image in a way to show that how our population is different and occurring problems (showing a family having 3-7 kids while one family one having 1-2), Narration is good for explaining the problem of overpopulation and showing them it in a play and explaining what is happening through narration while still image and maybe even cross-cutting is occurring in a play.

d) Drama mediums you could use. (sound/music, light, set, props, costume etc.)

      The song that is going to include to the play is going to be “unto the ends of the earth” the lights are going to be going to be bright when children are being born but at the end the music is going to be louder and more of a rumbling  and a scary curious music while the world is falling apart due to overpopulation. There are going to be crops and while our population is growing the crops will decrease and while then go away as the world is having a lack of overpopulation.

e) Give two ideas for two moments in your vision of how you could present it, e.g. dance, mime, narration, advert, game show, song etc... and what you intend to communicate.

      I want to create a play with Narration happening during the play describing and explaining what is happening in the play but also giving facts and information about the real-world problems which is occurring with overpopulation. A narrator is going to be showing the audience in a verbal description so that the audience can understand what is going on thought the play and the world. If the people don’t understand a play or the situation that is being expressed thought action in a play, then the narrator will use drama words and extended information to show and describe the play and real world scenarios and problems.
