This lesson we recorded the moment of choral speaking and some breath. We recorded ourselves saying the chorus as it will be another element of media usage for our performance, rather than someone just reading it out whilst we perform. We want as many diverse types of media as possible to show what we can do and what we are capable. We also recorded ourselves breathing because that audio can be added in the background of something to give it a more in-depth atmosphere. Adding it to the back of a tense scene would amplify the emotion that is being shown.
As our main question for this term is how we can use media to make a performance relevant to modern-day audiences, we discussed in our groups and as a class, how the pieces we were creating were relevant to contemporary audiences.
My piece is relevant to today's audiences because we are dealing with the topic of democracies and dictatorships. Creon is a dictator, and his message to the people of his city can give the audience an in-sight of what it is like to live in a dictatorship, as the UK is a democracy, most of us have never experienced being in one.
Our piece of multimedia is a clip of a 'news report' of Creon, showing on one of the TV screens. This is definitely relatable to modern-day because we have Creon giving a speech and answering questions from the press, which we see a lot of politicians do. (E.G. in elections) We also have a small bit of music that plays when Antigone angrily enters the stage, we did this because the use of modern music brings us to modern day more.
Our main focus today was getting the filming done, and it went very smoothly, with special thanks to Aaron as he is playing Creon for our scene. Aaron already knew the basics of what he was going to say in the video, so he just had to rehearse a few times and then as a group we decided exactly how the lighting would be, where the film would take place, and how Aaron should say his lines.
