Translating 21 Grammes from screen to stage. Explain how research material was gathered and used within the processAt the very outset of the devising process the whole group watchedthe film of 21 grams and in our first lesson we collected any commentsabout form, structure and content. We then started creating possibleideas and characters, and afterwards a few weeks we decided we could setourselves almost mini homeworks for certain characters or storylinesand come back to the next lesson with some unused new ideas.The first bit of research I did was actually about the film 21 gramsand why the film was titled this? And what it meant? I then ground outthat when a human dies they lose 21 grams in body weight we thenstarted gathering idea around this such as the 21 grams being thehuman soul and as you dies your soul leaves your body. I also foundout that an average chocolate run weighs 21 grams so we vie withthe idea of there being a chocolate bar incorporated in every scenesomehow , as we thought that having a chocolate bar in every scenewould be a bit to difficult. Another idea was that maybe in the verylast scene all the characters that ar dead would be lying on thestage with a chocolate bar resting on their chest. But as we produce much drama and more characters were developing we decided that maybetrying to incorporate these ideas wouldnt work and didnt really fitin with the rest of our piece.The other main focusing in which we needed to do research was because wewere using projection and we needed to get certain images andinformation. So in that sense probably the main storyline that wasresearched was the vicar and his wife trying to have a baby andbecause we had decided to use projections we needed to find picture ofpregnant women and babies. We also use projections for the train prostration so we gathered together pictures and newspaper articles. Nearlyall the research for the pictures was by way of the Internet.
