Proyecto Uno

Now that I've performed project one, I am glad that I got to organize it by myself, it gave me the chance to enforce my own ideas. Crystal's comment about how the performance was closer to the original idea reminded me of this fact. This way I was allowed to play more with things like sound instead of worrying about getting my own idea across to the audience. What I found most interesting about my project visually was the play w/ the streetlights. Being the brightest bit of color in the projected backdrop, the light also illuminated the person who was standing in it just like a real streetlight would if someone was standing in it. It gave the backdrop a sort of 3D feeling due to the light that appeared to be shining over the people performing. Sound wise, I played with two forms of sound, the first being street noises such as cars and people, the second being rainfall. Because the scene included a hobo which would most likely be found in a more industrial area, I opted to use the street corner noises. When I played the rainfall noise, the scene seemed too peaceful for the type of scene I was trying to portray. Acting was fun as well, working with Kevin kind of allows for a little improv because we both know the idea, and changes can come from all sorts of different things, such as having to act at the front of the computer lab rather than an open area.
