The pictures from Let the right one in

 

The pictures above are from the performance of let the right one in, the specific picture which is displayed above is from the scene where Hakan kills Torkel (My first character) by slicing his throat. Though it cannot be clearly seen within the picture, the blood, which we carefully created using various ingredients, is meant to be dripping into the funnel and then into the big container filler.
The scene overall was performed to a good standard with minimal mistakes.



This one shows the two main characters form when they are interacting with one another. The white background I believe adds a nice touch to the essence of winter, we intended for the white background to blend nicely with the white snow on the floor.



This part is where the two bullies Jonny and Micke are meant to be unfairly bullying Oskar. The essence of winter can be seen in this picture which clearly shows the white floor and sides. This scene was special in setting a tone of winter as Oskar was forced to eat the snow and complained about it.



This picture shows the scene where Halmberg interrogates Hakan on the death of the recent victims. The way that Halmberg can be seen sitting in the picture shows the seriousness of the scene and the authority that Halmberg had over Hakan.



This picture shows the scene with Eli and Hakan in which Hakan shows his love for Eli and warns her of the dangers of the neighbourhood.




This picture shows the scene is from the same scene as the one above except in this picture, the sulphuric acid can be seen which Hakan describes as a symbolism of his love for Eli. The actually content of the bottle was water.



This picture is from the sleeping movement piece. The two characters that can be seen are Oskar and his mother who were asleep at the beginning of the movement piece. In the background of the picture it can be seen that there is a yellow light which is positioned on the jungle gym - this light at the beginning was a symbolic symbol to represent the dream state.



This picture just shows the scene which is at the beginning where Oskar hides inside the locker but is found by Oskar and Micke who have been looking for him. Initially fitting the character within the locker was difficult due to the size, however through creative thinking we found a way to overcome the dilemma.



This picture shows the scene with Oskar and the shopkeeper Kurt. The sweets we decided to stick to the counter using sellotape.



This scene depicts the part where Halmberg is giving a speech to the audience. This scene only contains one character as the focus point of the scene is mainly around Halmberg and that what he has to address affects parts of the story.

This picture shows the making of the set which planned a few weeks ago to be covered in shredded paper in order to symbolise snow, the lighting was meant to symbolise a more cold atmosphere and give the impression of winter in the play.

The following picture shows the full set when it has been set up with the trees fixed in the correct place and the climbing frame set up at the back - to symbolise a jungle gym like the one in let the right one in. The whiteness of the set gives the impression of winter. The white trees and white curtains help to enhance the winter experience.

Character relation and brainstorm

The Below pictures shows the individual brainstorm which we carried out for every character. For each character we analysed their relationship and their connections with other characters. I believed this help us gain a more better understanding of characters.
