Heyy can u explain because the only effects i kno are split stage, freeze, thought tracking.
And yes im doing the ' The Memorandum ' .. what do we do for the 25 mark essays lol!
And Why the hell is Gross (managing director) holding a fire extinguisher in the last screnes?
And any notes u could share..?

Alienation is when you remove the audience from the scene that's happening, like, when you use documentary drama ie. you play a video in the middle of your scene in order to show some sort of weird effect that I'm not sure of. Existentialism is the feeling that nothing exists except from fear and pain. Kafkaesque(ism?) is basically putting a person into an impersonal situation, creating confusion, making them feel isolated eg. the very first part of the Memorandum where Gross is reading the Ptydepe memo. You also need to talk about the stuff you mentioned, like tableaus and thought tracking.
The 25 mark essays: I really have no idea whatsoever of what we have to do. I think I might get like, 3 marks in total hahah.
I think the fire extinguisher is meant to symbolise Gross 'losing his mind' to a certain extent. It's as if he's using it to comfort him because he feels so isolated and confused. It could also be a symbol that he's desperately holding on to what's left of his job, or maybe, on a more literal level, it's protection from him being fired. But I'm really really not sure because we only did scenes 1 & 2 in class - I've had to analyse the rest by myself. So don't take my word for it!
Hope you guys do great (:
