IDEAS

our ideas was initally to show how you can can fraud yourselve - the way in which you are training to say certain thing we were going to make a kind of retail theatre, as I had noticed a post at work that said "smile your about to go on stage"- this made em think are they hiring normal everyday people to work for them or are they hiring people, this forces the concept of perfrom or else by Baz Kershaw.
How when chloe and I work at resturant we feel like we are perfroming because in the kitchen its very similar to how manic a dressing room is, quick changes, being shouted at by your chef e.g director!
and having to walk through the kitchen onto the resturant STAGE with a smile and deliever.
This then forward onto whoa re we really? we wanted to create a myspace or facebook page of a person and to represent COOL from having previously looked at it to see how many friends we would gain. By we then finalised on the the decsion of using me as the case study and looking at me in ddifferent situation to see whther goffman was right that we change and perfrom in different situations andaround different people. We then futhered this by looking at my alter ego to establish who and why i am this person.
I carried how a test that said how many women do you have inside your head i have 7 and 10 is the most womeen so this shows that I have than average to deal with different circumstances.

The form

We wanted to create this impact of media being all around use so we decide to take the approach of using media in our piece mixed with an interactive live activity for our audience to take apart in. We want them to find out how many voices they had in their head whilst distracting them by showing them individually on their computer screen a side show created by me on my alter ego, demonstrating me with pictures in different circumstances we then futhered by creating a video that we were also going to show them of me in everyday life so they could make up their minds if and when i am performing.
To sustain the idea of training a person to perform and self help advice to become the true you we aimed to create an audio commentary which had the backing track who are you, by The Who and audio taken from You tube videos bout people frauding themselves, as then the audience are visually witnessing me changing to different personas and listening to why we fraud our selves everyday- is it truely fraud?
