MY IDEAS FOR THE RECORD OUTCOME
MY IDEAS FOR THE RECORD OUTCOME
IDEA 1
My first idea was about telling a story using lighting and
backgrounds and then recording it using a combination of different
styles of photography and a video camera to show the actual
play
IDEA 1- research
First I looked at what story we could tell. For the first idea I
found the traditional Indian story that is about a woman called
Savitri. This story ultimately is about a woman's devotion to her
husband whom she married even though she knew he was going to die
shortly after. I think that this story doesn't need to be retold
because it is relevant to modern day as it deals with belief and
perseverance, and it can be interpreted easily. For example she
asks for her father in laws sight to be returned and his kingdom
restore, we could change this to his understanding and influence as
the modern day younger generations tend to not listen to the older
generations and the elders are not in tune with the developing
society so they cannot see.

As we cant have set changes and stuff I think set and lighting
would be key in presenting this story. I was thinking something
like these perhaps in 2 or three main colours to give the stage
some depth and make it interesting to watch it would all be
performed In the same space. Then different lighting can the be
included to show change of scene and make it more dramatic. For
example at the point where her husband dies it can change to blue
to show her despair but as she follows this becomes tinged with a
darker blue to show her perseverance and then a golden yellow to
show her joy when she is reunited with her husband.

This video just shows how complicated we could have the lighting
if we wanted with the right equipment so this is something that
would be explored within the group.
I think this idea would have to have the maximum amount of time
available and it would need 5 characters maximum less if someone
played both parents in different costumes. The other members of the
group would be recording using cameras but they could also play the
characters in intervals if everyone has to act. I think this could
be a really good idea but it would involve a lot of work from
everyone with rehearsals, and figuring out lighting, background and
costumes. And even roles as I think a lot of people may be a bit
apprehensive initially.
IDEA 2
The main point of this idea was the use of dance, in particular
using dance to express something or tell a story. Lighting could be
involved to match the mood or emotion but mostly the focus will be
the dance moves. This will be recorded using photography and a
number of different angles. I think macro photography in particular
may also be useful for this idea as it will provide a dynamic of
various shots for the scrap book. Which is how I want to display
the images
IDEA 2- research
Each member of the group would be given and emotion or mood
which they would have to make up a dance sequence for
The length depends on the group members. They also have to
choose there own music which can be any style as long as it fits
the brief.
Everyone has a chance to perform and take photographs although
for each one there will be a main person because we only have one
digital SLR camera available
IDEA 2- research

This video in particular symbolises the sort of thing I would be
aiming for this to be like, but recorded in photo form. Her ewe can
easily tell she is showing different emotions and the lighting in
some ways reflects this, for example it is dimmer and smaller when
she appears to be sad. This also highlighted that the music choices
will also be key when trying to convey the emotion through
movement. Obviously we are not trained as she is as ours will not
be so technical but we can all move our bodies so this shouldn't be
a problem. From this ive leant we could also use props to aid these
displays such as a hoop for joy which is what she uses and then
these props would also provide interesting dynamics and variety to
the shots at different angles.
IDEA 2- research
The reason I want to use macro photography in particular along
with other shots is because of what it can show. It lets you see
things you may not have seen before and when showing the emotions
if we took close ups of intensity in the eyes or the tension behind
the fabric this would make the scrap book really interesting as it
would show things you don't usually see as a viewer.
IDEA 2- research
We can also use a number of other shots and combinations. I
think mostly we will just do what feels right and looks good.
This idea could be good because it gives use the chance to
explore movement and photography but it also has disadvantages such
as how long it could take to choreograph the dances sequences and
record the performance as it may mean that the person doing the
emotion has to do the dance several times so we get a load of good
variety shots.
Scrapbooks
Scrapbooking is a method for preserving personal and family
history in the form of a scrapbook. Typical memorabilia include
photographs, printed media, and artwork. Scrapbook albums are often
decorated and frequently contain extensive journaling
Scrapbooks can be used to record a progression or anything you
see fit to record. The are a interesting way to display
photographs, bits and pieces ideas and thoughts.
You can also make online or
E-scrapbooks which could be an easier
and more practical option and we would
be able to upload any videos and photos
easily.
