Paton, Garth Weare, Christopher Film and Television Production Includes bibliographical references (leaves 29-31). It is my intention to use video in a theatre setting to make visible what is not, to provide alternate views of reality and live action, and to create a heightened awareness of the medium through its use in an unconventional setting and in ways different to those that we are familiar with. It is my hope that through careful negotiation with the theatre-maker/choreographer, its use with live action will have an enhancing effect, perhaps leading to a more visceral theatre. The theory best serving to assist my attempts in terms of placing them into the academic continuum of other such endeavours and practitioners, is postmodern. Although the use of film and video in performance settings has become more general in the past three decades due to the accessibility of equipment, its use dates back to the beginning of film. This use has always been contentious, where it was often felt that the combining of a 'low' art, such as film was seen to be, with theatre, would have a diminishing effect on the latter. 2014-12-31T19:55:22Z 2014-12-31T19:55:22Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MFA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10764 eng application/pdf Centre for Film and Media Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
