Rough Theatre

I think independent film making relates to this article extremely well. Making a film on a low budget is definitely a type of rough theatre since it is a group of people who share the same or a similar idea and are trying to make something out of basically nothing. That is what makes independent and student films fun and potentially great pieces of art. It relates to the section in the article that discusses the german audio technicians and how they tried to make "synthetic dirt" that more closely resembled real organic music. Major Hollywood cinema can be very pristine and almost too perfect or digitally enhanced at times. Look no further than Michael Bay or other CGI filled hollywood blockbusters. Independent cinema usually doesn't contain anything like Michael Bay films and recently many hollywood films have been trying to incorporate the more organic independent cinema aspects while also containing classical hollywood elements. While a student here at UNCW I have learned the basics of the rough theatre since most of the funding for films I have worked on has been either non existent or been based off of donations. The power to get the film done has been due to the crew all believing in the project. Money doesn't always make a great film, sometimes it is just due to the commitment of everyone involved.
