How each of us sees and reacts to the world is influenced by our individual background. Thus, if we were given a script and invited to direct it as a play or film, we would each make it in our own individual way. This program sets out to show how the same text can be interpreted differently by directors making choices about actors, the set or location, costumes etc. Text from William Shakespeare's tragedy, Macbeth, is interpreted by four directors, including film director, Roman Polanski. As well as Polanski's version, there are two local theatre productions and a BBC version made for television. The program includes interviews with the local theatre directors discussing their interpretations. There are also interviews with young people giving their readings of the different versions, and finally offering their own suggestions on how they would direct the scene. Inside Out is a series of bright, pacy, documentary-style programs focusing on the use of English language in various contexts and through different texts and for different purposes. Presented by Scott Major, Inside Out is designed as a resource to support the English Curriculum Statement and Profile for Australian Schools. It encourages students not only to develop a greater critical awareness of the way in which language works in many texts, but also seeks to motivate students to use this knowledge to create their own texts. Included in the programs are interviews with celebrities, well-known to the teenage audience and interviews with students about the various texts being explored.
