Assignment A- USM 37th Convocation (From Event to Oval)

We know that production must consist of six elements INTENTION, ACT, PRODUCT, ACTOR, RULE and SITE. By refering to this model, we can use the Oval for the USM 37th Convocation as a production. Firstly we must determine the intention for this production. In my opinion, the intention for this production is to build canopies/tents in the Oval.
After coming out with an intention, it's time to determine the site. So, where is the site?

The site

The site chosen for the Oval is the field in front of the math school facing the Sg. Dua gate. In my opinion, site is a place where the product in the form of solid structure or event is being situated.


Who is the actor for this production?
The actors are the workers involved in building up the canopies/tents. As an actor, one requires knowledge trough listening, seeing and differentiating.
In the case of these workers, they have been briefed on how to build up the tents and where to build it. I believe that every workers were shown the method of building up a tents during their training in their respective companies. After going trough the process of seeing and listening, they have to differentiate whether are these methods right or wrong, is this the best way in building up a tents and understansding the site before building up the tents.

After having the actors, it's time to act. Act is a verb which involves doing. Acts in this production invlolve building the structure of the skeleton of the tents and put up the canopies/roof to the structure.

Acts- The workers putting up the skeleton and constructing the stage

The canopies built by the workers

However every actor who acts is govern by rule. Most rules that we see are written down as law, by-law, canon, act, enactment, regulation, etc. These rules determine what is right and what is wrong to do (act on).

What are the rules for the workers in this production?
In my opinion, the main rule and which i thought is the most important is the time of completion. The workers need to complete all the works in time. Any delayed will affect the convocation.

At last, it leads to the production of the Oval~!
