In the Future

As well as suffering a disastrously bad performance nd just about everything going wrong, there is a good amount of learning that took place here as this has prepared me for future tasks, in hindsight we as a group put far too much importance on someone who wasn't IN the group and therefore had no obligation to get it finished. so next time i will make sure that we have a backup plan on something so important as the feature of our peice, for example have another guitarist on call incase one floppes or even pay for one to come and perform, which was somethinfg we never even considered at the time.

Sorry it has been so long since my last post but we nearly gave up on the idea of doing our final performance as everything went wrong at the last hurdle.

We decided to go to uni and just explain to mark what had happened but figured that the mercy option was out of the picture given that we had both been absent from quite a few lessons.

We ended up doing  makeshift performance on the day, grabbing things that we could use to make something that vaguely resembled our previous idea and managed to do this on a sub par level which our audiences saw as little more than a joke, however we continued and gradually throughout the day made our performance a little better each time.

I was in charge of designing the props and giving it the feel of a performance and raz was in charge of the lines and information given to the audience.

I made an origami boat and used some blue tissue paper to imitate the sea and gave the audience a lecture bout my valuable 'cargo'
