In Response to THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 2012
In class today I presented my idea for the semester project, and even though the conversation did not necessarily go in the direction I preferred, I received some valuable and very helpful information.
Originally, the piece was going to be a silent, more so no dialogue with a soundtrack, and I would rely using the body and face of the character to explain certain situations. The issue that came about with this was, am I not incorporating dialogue because it seems to be the easy way out, or is there a greater purpose in having no dialogue. When I first set up the story, it was without verbal language, and from there I decided to let the characters' body tell the story.
Another question that popped up was, how am I going to include the backstory. As I was giving the backstory of the piece, the critique quickly wrapped around itself on idea to present the underlining meaning of it all.This was very helpful because my class audience is not familiar with any of the ideas I was presenting so when my outside audience sees it, I need to approach it from the standpoint that gives them all of the information necessary to fully grasp the concept. This could have also been an issue in my presentation as well, and it partly was, and now, another thing I must do is to find a way to clearly present my ideas without disregarding information that would align their thoughts to mine. Nevertheless, I must work the entire backstory into this piece, very clearly, so that my audience will be on the same page. I also received ideas about ways to flesh out the piece so that the "bad guy" does not end up on top.
