Our Progress so far.

We thought it would be best to all sit down and talk about what we want to do.  We all really like the idea of physical theatre and a film after watching videos of DV8, so we were talking about how we can put the two together. Eventually we thought of the idea of asking the public for stories, we could use the stories we get and film the place where the story takes place and incorporate physical theatre to tell the story. We thought we could also film our public interactions as a kind of video dairy and create a short interesting film. After watching a video in lesson that involved a time lapse we thougt it would be nice to have something to show as we progress. We had an idea on using a canvas and postcards so everytime we got a new story we could ask the storyteller to sign a post card and add it to the canvas. This idea is just for something the audience that will be watching the film to look at something interesting and to show our progress.

A few group meetings have taken place and what we have managed to do so far is decide on the design of the postcard we will be giving out to public, which was designed by Cassie Watson Webdale. We have also bought the canvas and the card and hired out a camera from the media building, now we are set. What we have found difficult so far is finding a day when we are all free and able to start filming, but nonetheless we plan to start filming this week and have something to show by our next lesson on Monday the fifth of May.
