finding the end

Our group has so many ideas that it has been impossible to get a clear meaning from our story. There are so many ideas, yet so many things don't add up, there are gaps and the relationships between the characters aren't clear.

Therefore finding an end to a story, which at the moment is uncomplete, was proving very difficult. I think that this was the real block that our group has had through out the entire devising process, we've always had ideas, and before christmas we were plowing along at record pace creating about 20 minuets worth of material with out all the film we had done. Thus hitting a brick wall at this time in the process was a bit of a shock.

The group was getting somewhat frustrated and I felt that there was some tension in the group at this present time because I felt that we all had different ideas of what we wanted the ending to be and in some sense, what we wanted our show to say. In some cases, a difference of opinion can be exciting and new and interesting ideas can come out of contrast but in this situation we found it a struggle to find something positive. We left the rehearsal feeling that the issue had been unresolved which I personally didn't like as I felt we had left the rehearsal feeling negative about the material, which I don't think was particuallarly good for the group.
