Multimedia log

During this lesson we started by getting straight on with a run through so that we roughly knew how long the performance would be on the night and to tighten any movements that wasn’t as swift. Overall the run through went swiftly but as some groups including mine were not able to access their multimedia, it made it hard for us to see how swiftly the multimedia aspect of the performance would run.

However parts of multimedia that we were able to access as a whole included our second chorus when about 7 of us light up our torches from our mobile phones, to create atmosphere. In the run through, this was very effective as it dragged the audience’s attention at an instant on the line “The mother city of the Bacchantes”

Another way in which we incorporated our phones during the chorus included during the line “Next to the flowing city of the Bacchantes”. During this, another 4/5 of us played the sounds of water flowing which helped to also create atmosphere in terms of sounds and surroundings around the audience.
