Process: So far we are done with our Initial script. We started out with finding important line that sets our plot and then supports our theme. Since we were assigned on specific acts and scenes we found the lines, wrote a brief description of what happened and put it on google doc. So far everyone found their part and put it on google doc.
Group Dynamics: At this point everyone’s parts are done. No one was assigned to write the lines out on google doc. Since the two scenes I was assigned were pointless and did not have anything important on it so I was done first. I went online and found The Othello book and then read through google doc to see which lines we needed and then started pasting everyone’s lines. Since Guess was also done with me he also found the lines he needed for his section. As we finished coping and pasting our script I worked on my section where I cut out all the lines from the original text that we did not need. Because Sarah was not there I tired doing her line too. My other team members are working on theirs right now.
Editing: For the editing part it’s very confusing for me. Well not exactly, I was confused at first of what I should be doing so yeah. So far I have cut down my lines to where a character says something and it basically states what my one line summary says about that event. I did not go over where I have to link the scenes, but that will be done soon and we should be working on that the next class.
Evolving Understanding: I choose each line by looking at what that line leads to. For example I wrote the line where Iago tells Cassio to drink with him, this is important because that leads to Cassio to get drunk, get in a fight with Rodrigo and then get fired by Othello. So things like that, which basically changes or go along with Iago’s plan in the play are what I usually pick out.
