First real week of class

This week, we learned about the basics of what we are going to be doing throughout the semester, and to be honest it is not what I thought it was going to be. This is a good thing, however, as what I learned we were going to do seems very interesting. After that, we learned how the Baroque period influenced modern technology with the introduction of opera. While opera may not seem to be a huge contributor to modern media, the collaboration of different areas such as lighting, music, singing, costumes, setting, etc. were never before put together in such a fashion previously. The fundamentals of opera alone set the baseline for average movies and television programs.
