Monday (THEORY): I presented my Zen Presentation in class today to Lesley (Main LEcturer) and Ashley (T.A), and they gave a lot of good feedback on the work I have so far. IT is also great that some of the highlighted points were areas that I am also keeping in mind as I work along. I am unsure if this is due to my lacking explanations but I view this as an opportunity for improvement- if I require to showcase my full research just to clarify my point, then it means that the work and plans I have at the moment aren't clear and comprehensive enough to show my vision.
[Feedback is:]
Setting creative constraints and guidelines with my work
Looking at the aspects, themes and decisions I've chosen and wondering how it supports my work? (Why is it integral? important?)
notes
Wednesday (STUDIO): I showed Lesley my full research and progress at this point in time (work up to Week 2, and the concept without structure exploration). She helped me analyse into my ideas and understand what I could look into moving forward.
I would be lying if I didn't feel a bit sad that the sketches and concept art I have made so far haven't caused an explosive reaction of wonder, but I suppose this leads to the question- what is the goal that I wish to achieve out of this work? Is the excitement I am talking about merely appreciation of the skill and design of my work? Or is it something more...detached(?), something more objective such as cinematography and storytelling elements?
[Feedback is]:
Breaking down my goals, motives and methods
What do I want to achieve? What feeling from the audience? What elements have I observed that did this well? How did I incorporate those elements?
The main question coming back to is "WHY?"
Try to get an idea of what idea I wish to develop further, and to get a treatment out of it.
Draw a lot of sketches and doodles to visually show my idea
I explained before that it is more easier to get a feeling of excitement through the visuals, rather than through the narrative itself (at least in terms of the type of excitement that I want... but then again what IS excitement to me?
