Murder Mystery Project
In this project I got to write and plan out a murder mystery. Me and my group's mystery was based in Chicago, Illinois at a hospital, in the year 1945. From having the city being Chicago I got to learn a lot about the great depression and the Prohibition and how it impacted them at that time and how they where recovering from it. My group's murder mystery was about a women Karen Castillo who got killed by Chloroform. For the character's, we all had relevance and motive in some way, shape, or form. We brought up this project we just used random name generators and thought of the most random names. But the process and how to get the story we kind of spit out a lot of random ideas and a lot of things like that and brought them together to a functional story.
We practiced and memorized all of our basic information and alibis because our story was using the audience as a detective. When we started to do run throughs we continued to revise and used all of our critique and talked and grew and grew and it was pretty good. I was absent when we had our main showing of the murder mystery which I was very sad about because I really felt confident about my character and all the information needed. But from my group members I heard that it went good. I believe I learned a lot about mystery writing and how to do it. I learned that the process is a lot different that writing anything else. The process was easier because I did a lot with my group just thinking of spooky things and for there to be unexpected events and a lot of red herrings.
