Double - Jack and the Beanstalk (Jatb) part 1

Our last and final story is Jack and the Beanstalk. For this story I am the narrator and also I am random characters that appear in and out of the story. When narrating this story in my head I had a Morgan Freeman type of narrating style which I think tried to add American accents and a deep voice to. Eventually as a group we decided that it would be easier and more replicant to narrate in an American accent. It was decide as the we wanted the dialogue to be as clear as possible for the young children. 

For the introduction we set the scene by having people doing farming activities. For example Freya's character was picking fruit from trees and handing it to people. As originally the narration was going to be pre recorded, I thought of a character that I could have played whilst the narration was going on. I thought of a 50 year old man who was plowing his potato field on a hot and sweaty day. By doing a repeating motion and pulling the right facial expressions, I believe that the audience would have understood who the character was.
