Written  vs Practical

Unit 8 today and its all work and no play which is good because I actually came out of it with a much better understanding of what I will be writing for my essay. last week I got ideas and I learnt what to do so I wrote up a draft of 400 words that I showed Sarah. with this as a base she told me what I didn't to cut, what I could keep and most importantly what I could add.

She also helped find me quotes most if not all i didn't realise where quotes or i could use them  so that was great and she helped me narrow down what I will be focusing my essay on and that would be 3 companies that specialise or use technology in theatre. for this 1000 word essay draft however i will look at only two companies.

Once all the talking and tutorials were over, playtime began, and by playtime I mean recording time. since we need to create a juxtaposition short film or performance for tomorrow I worked with my fellow classmate Robbie on an idea he thought of. it wasn't really an amazing idea and I didn't personally think it had juxtaposition in it but it was fun non the less to film. there was a debate however as Robbie wanted a 2 cut take, while I was all about multiple takes with different angles that I could edit together later and create something cinematic and film like. so in the end we recorded both, as you do. 

The only thing left to do for today is edit the vids and work on my essay changes. Plus of course blog this to all my peeps ;)
