"The Rough Theater" and 6x1

6x1 is a very fun class, I had many new production experiences on experimental filmmaking. Like what Peter Brook mention in The Rough Theater, "an architect is better off if he works like a scene designer...than if he builds his model from a plan...", which is put the creativity on top off general rules. In class we had different projects that need us to make short films out off cardboard and use daily life things to represent props in movie. These activities helped me to observe my imaginations and trained my creativity. I believe there is not only one way to do things in film, what is different and what is special makes a film unique. In rough theatre, the arsenal is limitless (Brook). 
The rough theatre that Brook talks in his article is not limited to the general ideally big house movie or show theatre. Since audiences are focused on following the storylines, the environment will not be a big factor to change what they think about the films, however watching the same films at different occasions would give the expectators difference experiences or feeling. The theatre guides our imagination and builds the stage for us. The little flaws or inconsistencies that theatre presents is evidence of the limitless arsenals or techniques that are used to within the rough theatre. We can interpret the story any way we like to so it is up to the creativity of the creators to guide our interpretations.
