Rough Theatre

The rough theatre is a concept that, although not formally acknowledged, has been used in many films, particularly, low-budget indie and student films. These films are tethered to reality for more reasons than their subject matter. Some of those things include improvised lines, impromptu sets and props, and errors made by the cast and crew. These things may be a reference to the local area or the use various objects to convey different meanings. Generally, when something goes awry or audio added in post being super overrated, the crew tends to "improvise." This is what is called rough theatre. It does not take away from the art of the medium, but instead adds to it. I think that this is a concept used constantly that is seen as natural to the story. It is something that only the cast and crew know is happening in their film that the audience may not catch.
