Lowri came up with the idea of using a welsh miner (She luckily already has the accent) who had been trapped in a mine and had missed out on forty years of our country's evolution but still had the basic knowledge of what a computer was. we then discussed ways to successfully move from prerecorded footage and live action and we thought the format of a news show would enable us to do that. we decide we wanted to use you tube, emails, web cams and camera phones to illustrate how easy it is to record, transmit and access information now.

Lowri and I decided that the animation would be unfeasible to achieve in our time frame so we discussed our idea for using a character who doesn't understand the Internet with Ian. He suggested that we use an historical character which initially seemed a good idea but we realised that the use of an historical character would mean to much explanation of the basics (such as electricity and computers) before we could move onto the topics we wanted to discuss.

We also played with the idea of using the website http://secondlife.com/ to create digital versions of ourselves and having our presentation take place entirely in the digital domain but it was decided that we wanted to interchange between both real and virtual world.

ideas for presentation performance!

1. interaction between Lowri and me - animation.

One of has is an angel and the other one has a devil. They would sit on on our shoulders like our consciences. During the presentation we would interact with the 2 dimensional digital character so we could interact with the virtual world via the real world. The angel argues the good points of Internet and the devil argues the negatives of the Internet.

Includes slide show links of Internet pages;
Good- Facebook for communication
Bad- Facebook is used for bullying.

Issues raised with this idea
-it would be difficult to integrate information about theatre.
-not only would we have to produce a digital animation but interacting with the character's would be very difficult to achieve.


2. Lowri plays a character who does not understand the Internet i explain to her what it does and how it benefits us but also some of it's disadvantages.

Issues raised with this idea
-not very inventive, too simplistic.
-again it does not included any idea of theatre and performance.
