Devising Unit First Draft Reflection

I really enjoyed the process of deconstructing the original video and then using different pieces to create something new as we went. It’s very interesting how the process of creating the piece involves everyone and builds as we each add something on. There was a lot of putting ideas out and seeing if they stuck, and it eventually formed a big web of ideas (that may or may not have completely made sense) that we then had to translate into something that we could perform. Eventually it came together and we started performing by walking up onto the bridge and reading them and then walking off, but it felt too formulated and the same every time. Doing the whole thing improv was very hard at first. My mind would go blank and I wouldn’t know what to say and have to stand there for what felt like a long time thinking of something. After a couple of tries however I had a basic idea of what I wanted to say and it got easier. It was more fun to come up with the short, funny rejection letters at the end, though they started to feel repetitive after a while. We now need to work on videoing our final draft and coming together at the ending so that it isn’t so awkward when we throw the papers and go off and it makes more sense.
