From the start of this project I have been keen to add multimedia aspects to our performance. Not only do I and other members of my group have tremendous experience with this, but I believed our idea for a company using scientific research to validate their products would appear more professional if video work was used. A few days ago Jack Tullin and I worked on editing a script that I had devised as an overview of our fictitious organisation, as well as quickly addressing certain products that we were currently developing.
Once this task was completed it was time for me to be filmed as the Chief Executive reading the script. This was much more daunting then I had originally theorised, as the nerves of being in that position kicked in and as an actor your instinct is to appear theatrical to compensate for your lack of confidence. However I had to fight this urge as that was not the intended look for our video. And of course this process can be difficult because you have to put a lot of faith in your director. Fortunately Jack is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to camera angles and professional editing, so once the final draft was ready my fears were put to rest.
Of course this is only one piece to our much larger puzzle, as we are supplying products and scientific explanations of said products for our performance. And as the day of our performance draws near, I still have confidence in the combined abilities of myself and my group.
