Week 6 Day 2

Today we analysed lots of short films, and i realised how films are actually really complicated process. The amount of teamwork that is needed seems endless. At the end of the day i have learnt how not to be self -conscious about my imagination and to think as many ideas as i can. Stuff i learnt today doesn't only apply to the lens based media, it also can be applied to all of the pathways. I felt that by enjoying the ideas and have a relationship with the idea will enhance the work, having an emotional connection between the idea - a personal feeling or experience about it will help me gain a better final outcome. Also to push the limit and sometimes take them to the edge.

 

Today we had lots of quick short tasks, we first were to draw people we experienced or met, for me i drew the underground staff who i see nearly everyday in the morning on the way to Ravensbourne, my memory sees him maybe because of the repetitive and the numerous time i see him but yet i never spoken to him before... as i get approximately the same train everyday, i see the roughly the same people too as they have a similar journey to me. 

i also drew some of my old teachers, next we had to draw situation which made us happy and/or sad. It became more personal when it was on the subject sad, when i left my family from Hong Kong to UK when i was 8 years old, memory can be a very interesting thing - up until now i can still remember the exact feeling and the moment when i left 10 years ago. 

We also had to draw out any interesting dreams we had. - i dreamt a chicken being a superhero. Random ..... but can be a starting point for something! 

After all the drawing and filling the A1 page, we had to build and see the connection between all the things we have drawn, we had to find a link, e,g the spider living in a water bottle, and we then imagine what would be the spiders daily routine be. etc. 

After, we then need to develop a problem and the at the end a resolution for those links we made with the characters on our page.  

So we made 3 stories. 

Notes before these stories.
