How to stage our countrys good to enable smooth transistions


A pole upstage with the material for the tent on it could act as a sail but then be used later for the tent. And the wind effect could be created on this by someone sitting up against the pole and moving it back and forth to portray it moving in the wind. As sideway is getting lashed he could be pinned up to the mast with everyone reluctant to watch. I would have the majority of the cast on the boat so it's very compact as I am reluctant to use a lot of maritime props for a very short scene as it would make the scene changes even more disjointed.
             The scene change to Sydney cove is disjointed by the aboriginal scene. I think he should be in the dark DSR but when he is on the action freezes and a red spotlight shines on him so that he is illuminated. After his speech his light dims and action continues. The scene could then change smoothly if you kept the sound effects of the gull and the wind but lowered the volume making it milder. The mast can be dropped slowly and slid of stage as the triangle shape is abandoned to leave 4 officers in the middle of the stage in full uniform. They were unnoticed previously because of the shape. They also have guns which they constantly fie up in the air. Everytime one is fired a puff of smoke can be used from a canister above the sage and a large bang can be heard. This again is an effective way of showing one of the situations and because of the staging the audience are unable to see where the effects are coming from. At the end of the scene there could be a large number of bird sounds and all the officer start firing into the roof of the stage. Because of the amount of shots it will trigger off a lot of smoke and so the stage will be filled with smoke and maybe a few feathers can float down as well making the whole of the stage blurry and hard to see. In this time the tent that was acting as the mast can be quickly put on USL and the officers not in the next scene can make an exit.
