In our performance we wanted the audience to think about the way woman had to live life while their husbands were at war.the scene that we created using split scene was shown in two scenes the first scene was the men in battle, one of the men gets shot and the other men flee. The second scene was of the woman at home doing daily activities such as taking care of their children and cleaning. We also added in a scene were one of the women were writing a letter to their husband who was in war.putting these set of actions together enabled us compare the reality of life during world war one .one of the ways we were able to show this was when one of the soldiers were shot and his comrades left him for dead. using this action were able to show that even though it was made out to seem that the soldiers were fully trained that there was still danger lurking in the midst.also the scene were one of the ladies was writing a note showed how much the familys of the soliders were still keeping them in their hearts even though they were gone to serve their country.the convention of split scene allowed us to show the audience the emotional and physical experiences of the war.
