The following question must be answered: What has been helped or hindered by the

The following question must be answered: What has been helped or hindered by the filmed nature of this adaptation? Have your eyes been mediated (or guided) to particular events, people, and/or experiences? (Is the focus of the camera perhaps different than where you may have chosen to focus your attention during a live performance?) What would have been different about this theatrical production had you witnessed it live? For this, focus on one area of the production (acting, lighting, sound, costumes, makeup, etc.) and debate how this particular area would have been experienced differently live.
Structure: ***An introductory (or thesis) paragraph that explains: What production you are discussing (introduce the recorded performance, NOT the plot/themes!)
How will you be viewing this production (live vs. filmed performance) and a brief list of the specific production aspects you will be discussing in your paper (this aids in focusing your topic). You are required to focus on one area of the production (acting, lighting, sound, costumes, makeup, etc.) and debate how this particular area would have been experienced differently live. ***The body of the paper should contain several specific examples from the production and an incorporation of course vocabulary. You want your reader to visualize what you are describing so select examples that describe individual moments/scenes that stuck out with regard to acting, directing and the one area of design selected. ***A concluding paragraph that restates your thesis and briefly addresses your objectives, drawing conclusions showing us that you have moved beyond your initial argument in the thesis. A bibliography of ALL sources used within your paper. Citations MUST be present for any direct quotes, internet research, etc.
