We were tasked with creating a performance that had both a recorded and live aspect. In addition we had to include both an epic failure as well as success. Furthermore, this piece had to be informative and be presented in a “how-to” fashion. Our group were all inexperienced with performance and that is where our first idea stemmed. We wanted to create a “how-to" video on, how to act. We believed that three under qualified people attempting to producing and exemplify how one is supposed to act would add a comedic tone and would ultimately be a success. We began by researching key traits needed when acting or preforming. After we established a few traits, we began to pick a scene that we would implement reenactments focusing on each key trait. We chose the “I am your father” scene from Star Wars. The scene reenactments were particularly weak and not what we intended after a week into our studio. We understood that changing our idea halfway through the studio could be considered reckless, however we felt that our new idea was much stronger and could be executed well. Our idea was a "how to” on winning X-factor. Our plan was to have recorded auditions and we would judge them live in front of the audience. We began by watching X-factor videos and how the judges reacted to the contestants; we took notes and began developing a script for our live performance. Simultaneously, we began auditions. We asked the contestants to stand in front of a green screen and sing a song of their chose. We later took all these clipped and laid it in front of an X-factor background. We presented the video to the audience and concluded by presenting an award and introducing a Segway to the next act to help with flow.
