Quotes for the Interrogation Scene.
Hamlet already planned how he was going to confirm his suspicious of his uncle, his plan is to get actors and plan out the scene of how he murdered his father, and if he turned pale or even if he flinches he will be accussed.

HAMLET
May be the devil, and the devil hath power
T' assume a pleasing shape. Yea, and perhaps
Out of my weakness and my melancholy,
As he is very potent with such spirits,
Abuses me to damn me. I’ll have grounds
More relative than this. The plays the thing
Wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king.

CLAUDIUS
And can you by no drift of conference
Get from him why he puts on this confusion,
Grating so harshly all his days of quiet
With turbulent and dangerous lunacy?

ROSENCRANTZ
He does confess he feels himself distracted.
But from what cause he will by no means speak.

GUILDENSTERN
Nor do we find him forward to be sounded.
But with a crafty madness keeps aloof
When we would bring him on to some confession
Of his true state.
ROSENCRANTZ
Madam, some actors happened to cross our paths on the way here. We told Hamlet about them, and that seemed to do him good.
ROSENCRANTZ
Madam, it so fell out, that certain players
We o'erraught on the way. Of these we told him,
And there did seem in him a kind of joy

CLADIOUS TO ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN
Friends both, go join you with some further aid.
Hamlet in madness hath Polonius slain,
And from his motherصs closet hath he dragged him.
Go seek him out, speak fair, and bring the body
Into the chapel. I pray you, haste in this.

Explain how it leads to the creation of a fantastic final product.
This leads to the creation of our digital essay because it’s an outline of what Rosencrantz and Guildenstern have to do with what they see Hamlet doing and they are testifying against why he’s crazy. Which relates when we record my question with one of my groups other questions, basically connecting them all to be related in Ophelia’s or Polonious’s death. (We don’t know which one relates better to our testimonies yet)

List potential challenges or speed bumps that may arise in the next few days.
Some potential speed bumps that may occur during the process of our digital play would have to be the completion of the film since some of us have everything answered and ready to film but we can’t film until everyone has something to say where as some of the others don’t even have their answer questioned. This might be hard for us since we have a limited deadline for the digital essays to be due. Another struggle that we might have would be, getting extra actors to play different parts of our interrogation. We are planning on having a script, but the problem is that we don’t want it to be obvious that they are reading off of the script while filming.

Detail back up plans and potential solutions that you already have created, just in case you need them.
Our plan B, if our original theme fails, is to change the theme to a court scene which matches with what our questions are answering, but also flows with what the scene is meant to feel like. We want it to be real and still relate to what is going on in Hamlet as well.
