4/4/15 - Multimedia research

Many apologies for the lack of posts, let's just say I have a lot of catching up to do! We are on week 3/4 of our work on 'Antigone'. Here are some posts from the weeks that have passed. 

Monday 16th March 2015

A summary/introduction to multimedia in theatre was given to us and we watched and analysed videos about it. I had already done a bit of research before-hand so I understood everything that was being discussed. We watched three videos and took notes on each:

Exploring multimedia in Katie Mitchell's productions
Devising a multimedia production
Acting in a multimedia production

This is the information that I gathered:

• You have control over how the audience feels towards the piece.
• The multimedia on display shows the chaos of real life.
• You know that whoever is watching the piece is interested in both the film and the multimedia.
• Directors in these performances are more known to be the editor. The actors bring the ideas of their own to the table.
• Once a paragraph is set, they take a picture to eventually create a story-board.
