Discussion on disruption (cheating)

Our theme is expressing the issue of cheating, this is a disruption which challenges the equilibrium (a theory recognized by Todorov) because of this we have to ensure it is expressed and easily recognised. We asked students how they would cheat and after researching the issue we come up with 5 cheating ways for our 5 students.

1) The hat method, this was a method we found when researching, where the character will have the answers under the hat, we felt this would be effectively used for the lad Harry who is a stock character adhering to The Jock in Slasher Horror

2)  The eye patch method, here the character will have the results under the eye patch and pull the eyepatch to see the answers in the exam.

3)  Writing on the arm, this is a classic cheating method, it is obvious and therefore will be used for our surviving member, the final girl in slasher horror. Being a obvious cheating method, our target audience are more likely to relate to the situation. 

4) Like the writing on the arm method, we decided on a sweat band method which releases the answers under the arm. 

5) Our last method is quite mysterious in itself, we decided on an ear piece which would speak the answers to the characters but how  do they know the question for the exact answer? This builds a sense of mystery and creates enigma.
