Plot

Convicted for treason
I like this part because even though he protected the country, he was still convicted. This is deeply ironic.
Tries to disagree
This highlights his helplessness when facing conviction and death, and highlights how war brings bad things to people.

Voice
Volume
At first, I will yell loudly when I discovered I have been convicted of treason. Then, I will be quiet just before I die. This will make the audience more thoughtful and have the play last for longer in their minds by having an abrupt change in the dying moments.
Pause
I will pause when the gun loading sound plays. Then, the heartbeat sound will play, gradually intensifying. As the heartbeat reaches a climax, a gunshot will play, and I will die. This will create tension with the sudden pause and the heartbeat echoing louder, which draws to the climax of me dying
Emotional Range
I will use emotional range to express anguish at first, and then disbelief when I'm about to die. This will invoke the emotions of the audience by first making them feel enraged because of the anguish and then thoughtful after the disbelief.
Body
Facial Expressions
I will look angry and frustrated when the others don't listen to me. Then, I will swing a hand in front of one of the imaginary "guards", who will bat that hand away.
Energy
I will have high energy when I try to argue. Then, as the gun loading sound plays, I will tense up and my body will shake. There will also be a heartbeat sound in the background. The heartbeat sound gradually grows louder and faster, and ends with a gunshot, at which point my head goes down and I die.
Gesture
I will gesticulate when I try to explain myself. Then, as the soldiers ignore me, I will turn to the audience, looking angry. Someone will then throw a tomato that hits me in the face.
Elements of Performance
Prop
Tomato (sponge)
I will use a sponge tomato to symbolized public hatred. This is because people throw tomatoes at people who are "public enemies". Therefore, using a tomato will symbolize public hatred.

I will use marching music and then a gunshot sound to invoke emotion within my audience. The marching music has a fast beat, which helps create tension, while the gunshot sound will help people imagine the gunshot and result in a climax.
