#6 Rough Theater

Theatre can be described as an art in it's own way, without the incorporation of other "forms" of art; it is like a unique entity that surfaces above most other types of entertainment, as it does exaggerate the exploitation of actors upon a live audience. Now how exactly does this relate to any of the assignments completed for variations of film manipulation, in other words six by one? Well there were moments when our projects required us to act in front the camera (which isn't the same as theater), but it still reflected on the concept that it performing live in front of anything at all. One example of this is whenever we were shooting the vignettes for the segmented crowdsourcing project. We were (if we didn't have anyone to volunteer and come in to perform for the shootings) required to act in front of the camera while filming ourselves for the vignettes. It almost felt like performing in front of an audience, although invisible, because there were moments when it felt extremely awkward to move at all; at one point one of our actors was completely static, and could not replicate anything that defines rhetoric of the theatre at any time whatsoever. Other than that, the experience of performing for any of the projects was extremely enjoyable as there were hilarious at times. Some of actors spewed talent, while others naturally performed in whatever manner they perceived was right; there was nothing wrong with this, other than the fact that most of our actors sometimes sort fell off topic with their performances. Overall, I think all of the acting that had to be done for the projects was hilarious, as it did relate in part to the art of the theatre. Another example of that particularly similar yet distant relationship was the usage of props for the shoots. This is also a major factor in any theatre production because what play can go right without a setting or background to help display the show's emotional value? Absolutely none.
