Using this technology has allowed editing to be more efficient. For example, whilst recording scene 4, a few lines needed re-recording. Instead of having to run through the whole scene again, as it was quite a long scene, I was able to record the necessary lines and then using the editing program, audacity, replace them in the origional scene. This was quicker to do and was done in less time than it would've taken to record the whole scene. Furthermore, the programme, audacity has allowed me to be more creative as it has allowed me to add effects to my final piece. For example, in scene 2, I was able to add an echo effect to highlight how the patient was not in concious or involved with the conversation between her husband and the nurse. As a result, it created an illusion of how the patient was not included in the conversation, and as a result of the echo made it more realistic. Thsi allowed me to be more creative with possible ideas I could include in my play, to make it more realistic and more interesting and dramatic, especially for my young-middle aged target audience.
Also, this was the same case for photoshop as it allows the photo to be manuipulated into what you want it to. For example, an image had a hair on the models face, which made it look unprofessional however instead of having to take the image again, it was simpler to erase the hair of the face, again which saved much time. Similarly, in Photoshop, different effects could be added to the image to make it more purposeful towards the scenario. For example
