The theatre experience. It was interesting to say the least. I hadn't been inside that part of a theater. Yes I am using both words: Theatre and Theater. I don't actually use the first (thee-a-tre) since it is sort of awkward to say. I digress.
The actual tour or ture: One of the most interesting things were the differences in technology than I was expecting. I still thought of the 'reel-to-reel' style projector and was sort of startled by the box-shaped thing that was spewing out lit pictures upon the screen. Another was the way the film was stored before and after it went through the projector. Once again- an ingenious idea compared with rewinding the reels the old way I suppose. The last major thing was the different methods of audio embedded on the film and on CD with the synching process. I am amazed that binary can be transmitted the way it is. It makes absolutely no sense to me at the moment, but I'm sure a few classes, and a league of homework later I could find out. But since I'm behind on a task like Blogging- then I'm probably not ready for that endeavor yet. We'll see.
The things that I didn't find surprising was the atmosphere of the projector area. For some reason I had this innate feeling it would be sort of attic-like and look the way it did. It serves a function. It doesn't necessarily need to look like the main 'consumer' area- since they don't see it- it wont affect the business. Although- I would think since someone has to sit up there and wait for movies to get done hour after hour- that they would spruce it up a little bit- or even have carpeting so that they don't make noise while walking from place to place. Who knows- maybe it's set up the best way possible.
And I have deviated away from anything class-like. Great.
