In my group we have a lot of catching up to do. First, we have to get a rough draft script in by today. What my team and I did so far was upload our assigned Acts and Sense on the Google Docs. At first we had nothing on the Google Docs do to some complications of communication some of my group members wrote things on paper and on a Word Doc but never got the chance to upload it so we were behind on that. Now, we plan to get a rough draft in but one of our groups members is not here she will be back on Thursday I think.
One of the successes so far is the most important that is getting things uploaded on the Google Docs and also everyone is contributing to the workload. The difficult thing about working in a group is that everybody is assigned different task to complete and when a person is not there we all suffer. Like for example, when we are making decisions on a simple thing like editing the other person is not there to put their opinion in. In addition, if they were responsible for a certain Act or Sense that we did not understand it would be real helpful for them to be there and explain it to us so we wouldn’t edited out something important that they had work.
The choice we picked in editing is not yet determined because we do not have a complete rough draft done. But if we were done the steps we would take on editing the script is we would first list the most important things in each Acts and Sense and then put them in somewhat of chorological order in it goes on from there that highlights our theme.
Our understanding of the plot is somewhat in order the important characters involve Iago, Roderigo, Desdemona, Othello, and Cassio. Iago is the one going around lying to the our characters which will result in them destroying each other. While Iago is taking great pride in what he is doing while at the same time making himself look innocent and drawing away suspensions about his true nature. But it’s sad to say we are not up to that yet because we do not have a script done yet.
