Sooo...evidently I'm supposed to have talked about my process of creating my monologue...
I had first decided the piece to be around only 2:15-2:3 minutes long, but that meant I had to cut it out using a music editor, which I had absolutely no idea how to use or get one. But as I began practicing, I realized it didn't need to be shortened; it was fine the way it was...as long as I added some stuff.
This is my 1st plot, before I gained my revelation of a new plot (the time after it is the TOTAL RUN TIME at the end of that phase; so at 0:35, it is a total of 35 seconds done at the end of that part):
Phone call about losing job (0:11)
walking around, not knowing what happens (0:35)
get out beer, drinks, looks at pockets, get out a knife (0:53)
Slits man's throat (1:01)
Policeman finds me, I try and fight through, they lock me up and take me to jail (1:23)
I eat, chains are taken off, pace around room (1:47)
Punches wall at CHORUS (2:02)
Door opens, tries to get out; fails and collapses on ground, defeated (2:11 or so)
END
Now this is my 2nd plot:
Phone call about losing job, tells them I have 3 pages left, they don't care. I slam the phone down (0:25)
Is pissed, not knowing what to do; gets out beer to drink, then looks in my pockets, finds out I have no money, and gets out to rob a place (1:00)
Goes to rob place, is caught and tries to fight my way out, caught and brought to jail (2:00)
At jail, chains are taken off, discovers this and runs to jaildoor just as they close it, shouting; then sits down and doesn't know what to do (2:35)
Pulls out my book and continues to write last 3 pages; finishes up just as jailman comes in and takes me away (3:00)
Leads me to judge; I talk to judge and jury: tell them I'm a changed man, pull out my book to show them and they kill me because they thinks its a concealed weapon (3:36)
I drop to the ground, holding out my bloodstained book, flipping through the pages (4:00 or so)
END
So yeah, that was my process. The second plot came right after I began practicing around Tuesday, November 11th, and the first plot came in the beginning of our monologue project.
I chose this song because I felt it was a nice song to show how a changed man in jail would "Someday" be freed (the song's name: Someday by Flipsyde).
