Creating new scenes - focusing on a different element

In today's lesson we wanted to steer away from creating our opening scene and try out something different - like another section that could potentially be used in our piece, experimenting on a new element. I really liked the idea of really trying explore and express this difference between the profile of Woman and the profile of Wife, and my group and I decided for it to be done in a way thats clever and stylistic. We still wanted to include naturalistic dialogue and that element of straight drama, but really go stylistic in how we do it - using the element of cross-cutting.
The piece consisted of showing the different lifestyles of these to opposing characters, exaggerating completely different worlds so that there is an emphasised collision if they were to ever meet, using every day activities like getting dressed and ready in the morning etc. The difference is shown through the way the wife's priority is to make sure the husband's clothes and that he is able to get ready, whereas the woman's priority is herself - making sure her own jacket is on.
