Collaborative Reflection 2/21/20

Our group has come a long way with our second draft. I lot of aspects of our original idea are shown in the piece of theater we have created. In Rhythm 0 there were a lot of individual moments with the performance artist and the people viewing the exhibit. We have a very similar idea with our individual scenes. I really like the way we have separated each scene but in the end connected them all together. I think that there is still a lot of work to be done in terms of connecting the scenes and creating a better flow because as of right now it is still feeling very block like. In terms of sound lighting and tech, I think that there is a lot of work to do. Our voiceovers are not complete and we haven't timed out the piece with them. Our lights are solid but I think that there are still ways we can further use them to our benefit. Our background sound also needs to be looked at. I am not sure if we are planning to use music or anything especially in the last scene. It could really bring out a good side in our piece of theater or it could disrupt the energy and flow. We will have to try that out and see how it works. I think that overall, I am super happy with how much progress we have made but I am still concerned that we may not have enough time to finish. I also am occasionally worried that we don't have enough material or plot to draw in the audience. Hopefully, with sound and lights we can draw the audience in better and give them a little more context to the plot of the show. I also want to spend some more time exploring the moments in between each of our scenes. I think that there is a lot that we can do in the transition periods to make it more interesting and we haven't been taking full advantage of that opportunity. I hope that we can incorporate other aspects of viewpoints like levels, speed, flocking, etc to make it more visually interesting. I also think this will help to separate the individual scenes more so it is more clear. I can't wait to finish this project and get the last couple of pieces of it together.
