At the beginning of the day I feel absalotlelly amazng, we oth knew we had it in the bag under lock and key, even with 3 hours sleep spirits were flying high at how well we were abot to pass this class (and as evident in the video footae i dont do well without my sleep). We spent the entire train journey talking about how nice it will be after the performances to relax for a while and just accept the natural high that we will be on havig spent so much time into our work for this class.
When we got to the proud achivist it seemed like everthing was unorganised soon afterwe got there our lecturer had to eave to get something she left at home and i was given the responsibility o filming peoles work which i didnt mind one bit but it seemed veryone but us was in a really tressed mood.
Our performance didn't go as great as we had planned, the voices in the video were ver hard to hear as we were given a Bass speaker to lay our audio from which cut out all the voice frequencyes andgave favour to the bass notes in the msic,and tething is i had already plnned for audio/voice hearing problems by testing out our film on 3 different types of speakers, i just didn't know we would get given a glorified subwoofer to play our film. Also our tutor came up to us about 3 or 4 times during our (15min same as the other studentswho showed a film) video performance to ask ''is it nearly over?'' which after the first time absaloutely killed our high spirits and left us feeling like we were some sort of embarressment to the art world, so as the video was nearing its end jake started panicking and saying 'she hates it we should turn it off', i disagreed but he got up to stop it before the end to which i was like ''no don't stop our film man'' and as he got to the screen our tutor yelled ''CAN YOU TURN THAT OF NOW'' at that point i was like ''yea your right, turn it off''. What an absolute downer to the day. - This is however just my interpretation of how things happened (given no further explanation by our tutor who left halfway through the day), along with a few of our classmates who saw what happened and were also were also shocked at the level of (apparent) disrespect for our piece and our artistic expression. I don't Mean to be mean here but if am to evaluate how i think my performance went and what there the contributing factors i must be honest and direct, it was a confusing experience for both me and my group partner who doesn't want to mention it in case he gets his blog marked down.
I am however extremely pleased with the outcome as i felt we took people on a multi-sensory journey into our lives and the experiences and 'shenanigans' that we get up to as young adults n London. I feel that e should have definitely shown the poem and the map first s that he audience could have time to contextualize what was going on on the screen and i think that if i had just watched the video first without paying much attention to the map and hearing the poem it may have looked like it was just two lads messing around and not taking the project very seriously, which is just one of those things that add to you experience as a practitioner and a performer on goes in the list of things you learned this time so you can be better next time'.
