Our main concern was ensuring that our performance suited our audience. Straight away, comedy was a must. We then discussed that the audience we had would love slapstick comedy, and so we put aspects of slapstick into our performance. Sticking within the comedy vein, when improvising our production, many puns came through to do with pigs. Even though upon discussion, we decided that many, if not all the children wouldn't quite understand the puns, we kept them in for the teachers that would be supervising the children, because we felt that they would still want to have entertainment. Films for children often have adult ideas hidden away for comedic effect, that only adults will fully understand, such as the new film Paddington. My uncle recently took his kids to see it, and he told me that he also enjoyed the film, as it catered to the parents taking their children to see it too. This is what we wanted for our own performance, and from the feedback we received at the end of each performance, I felt that we had a suitable performance for the entire audience, both the teachers and the school children.
