Recorded Media |
We
will use our tv recording capabilities to produce teleplays of our productions
(subject to obtaining the rights to contemporary works) which will be
offered as VHS or DVD recordings, and we will also make supplementary
documentaries, about the plays their backgrounds and the production
processes themselves, a kind of educational "Making Of..."
series. Initially these will be produced purely for the recorded media
market, but with the expanding network of cable and satellite channels,
it is anticipated that we may find a broadcaster to show them to a much
wider audience. Nevertheless, all educational purchasers will be offered
preferential rates, and those who have seen the live productions and
taken part in the workshops and Q&A sessions will be discounted
further still. |
Radio
plays will be produced and recorded to offer yet another production
alternative, and will eventually be broadcast by us through the internet
radio network. As well as this we can record similar documentary type
shows as the tv programmes for radio, with actors and academics discussing
the plays, their themes and characters, and exploring them in far more
discussional depth. Thus we can juxtapose academic and production views
and explore their fundamental differences and similarities, again giving
a far more rounded view of the plays than would ordinarily be found.
|
It
is also reasonable to expect that eventually the technology will have
improved significantly enough to make video transmission via the internet
possible, in which case we will also be able to provide live showings,
and recorded versions of plays and productions accessible easily an
cheaply. |
| Ultimately, the aim in recording and broadcasting media in so many diverse forms and across such a variety of networks is to make our works and resources available to the widest possible educational audience base, and in the case of our proposed internet broadcasts, reach not just national but international audiences, widening the reputation of the centre and the area, and hopefully bringing more and more people to see productions of which we will be very proud. |
