So it’s the 9th of March, 2nd week of term but the first week of our group projects. I’m really excited about this project and really looking forward to seeing all the interesting things we can create together.
Together we decided, out of all the broad topics to choose from on the board a very topical, and to be honest an issue that I’m very worried about exploring on an ethical level since we ourselves aren’t heavily involved enough in the issue, as well as over stepping with our message for political and/or social change, since this issue will always be in that sphere. I also really want to do something new and interesting with these documentaries, so that we can showcase not only our skills but also bring light to something that people in Australia aren’t normally very aware of, however this issue is very much constantly in the spotlight, and that issue is refugees. There will be a lot of ‘pivoting’ involved down the line, I’m sure.

Recent development:
This weekend I came up with a new idea, an epiphany of sorts for our found footage documentary. I felt that the original idea we came up with was not a solid enough idea, a little too underdeveloped and I couldn’t really see the film working in three minutes or coming together at all. But I had an epiphany and thought of a new idea, a sort of history of the phrase “go back to where you came from” and it’s own inherent hypocrisy, as well as a history of refugees and what caused them to move here, and how they were received upon arrival.
