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.

it's because i'm cool? (ironic or not!?!)

what is cool? this week i was thinking about the concept of cool and what it means to me and others around me. my new boyfriend loves the word cool as a comeback. he says 'it's because I'm cool' as a retort to any piece of joking banter i put his way- I'm not sure whether it's because he can't think of anything better to say or because he thinks that it's witty. either way i find it amusing, although it may wear thin with time. my housemates- as i have previously mentioned are quite geeky but i think they are cool, because they are funny and clever although to many being clever is the last thing that's cool in their minds.

What do i think is cool?
Well I'm a big fan of art and electronic music. i have a new favourite song that has a cool vid for it. it's called 'Shut me up' by mindless self indulgence. I'll post it under things i like in a sec. what else? well i think Simon Pegg is cool, and Alan Wilder( formally of Depeche Mode) because he's very sure of himself and pleasant mannered but he also has a dark quality to his personality that comes out in his music, which i also think is cool. it's called recoil and it's very unusual.

my first entry!

This is just like a diary i suppose, only not quite so private. i started a fresh one because i wanted to re-affirm the lessons i learnt in the lesson. what have i been doing? well my nerdy housemate has been trying to make me draw a comic from my imagination. he only just discovered i could draw and the he was curious to see if i could do anything but copy. i was never much good at it when i was a kid so i gave up trying really- i just stuck to coping photos and paintings. i am better than i thought i would be i imagining although the character i drew has a serious resemblance to wonder woman.

This week i also bought a perfume called diesel fuel for life- it's the men's version although i prefer it. the smell makes me feel slightly light headed, in a good way!

sweet dreams!

We have decided to record a video of the miner coming out of a colapased mine on a camera phone as if a passerby has recorded the footage and show this as if it were a current news story about a colapsed mine. With this we hope to show we have an understanding of digital performance.

We wrote the script for the presentation today and weve tried to make it humorous in the hope that it will entertain our audience.
