LAUAN503 - Weekly 2

Tale Telling

This week we had 3 meetings. 

Figure 1. - My mood board 

From the previous week, we all worked on script drafts and mood boards so we met to work on finalisation of this.

Figure 1. - My edited-after-group-meeting script idea

It was challenging to be able to compromise and let go of own ideas. I also found it hard to present my idea to the group in a way that they could pick the right elements from it (e.g. scene selection, mood, actual story etc.).

However we worked through this, taking turns in explaining our ideas and why we think it is the right one until we got a fair mix from each:

• Initial idea on soundtrack that would drive the whole story style - Zhama
• Finalising Script draft - my script idea was brought forward and edited 
• Character themes ideas - Briony had some strong ideas in her mood boards and so we started thinking about character design.

Then course lecture sparked new ideas and our team got spontaneously together to discuss our project. Learning the importance of 7 new principles that we needed to consider when planning the storyboards and character design - 7 principles of acting.  This information will potentially be very useful for my CoP research this year too, so that made me happy. :)
