Mobile Phone: The Annoyment Chronicles
Sat, 5 June 2004, 03:24 amA quick thought to SM's and the like.
Before the show, you might have a recording like:
"Good evening Ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to tonights performance of *insert play title/insult to audience here*. Please turn off all mobile phone and equipment as they interrupt our technical equipment."
Or something like that. What annoys me more is after this has been said, a good 20 minutes into the first act, someone's phone goes off.
Instead of throwing boiling apple juice at them...I suggest a method of subconscious phsycology.
During the message, which is pre-recorded (usually), you purposefully insert the sound of a mobile messing with sound equipment. Eg. the sound your radio makes before your phoneis about ring.
"ditdaditdaditdaditdaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Don't make anything of the noise in the recording. Just screw with the audiences minds. It's more fun.
(a quick thought: even with "no flash photography", you could get the actors to come out with high-beam strobes and blind the audience. Hey. It gets the message across.)
This has been a random thought brought to you by the letter B.

Just because they say there is a huge fine, doesn't mean it's not a good idea.
We are the consumers, and we have a right to indulge in what we pay for.
A media release also from the ACA goes on to say that Mobile phone Jammers work up to 4,000 Metres. Yes... They can. With a huge power bill. Personal Jammers can work -- at best from 50- Possibly 100 Metres.
Quite perfect for the grounds of a Theatre.
Against the law or not, Jammers are, and always will be a great idea.
