Story Lab – Week 8

Reflecting on our presentation.

This week we “pitched” our idea to a panel including Dan, Ben Mckenzie from last weeks lecture and another women involved in media/games who’s name I sadly forgot.

I think our presentation went quite well, and we definitely received a great reaction to our trailer. The feedback we were given was interesting and helpful, for example taking care to treat loaded words/concepts with care and recognising that they have large amounts of baggage associated with them.

I cant speak for Olivia or Alex, but my upbringing was almost entirely un-religious and my entire knowledge of Christianity (and all religion really) comes from Pop-Culture. So the pre-established weight and baggage associated with words such “sin” is lost on me.

Although, I think we are still going to have that as a concept and core part of our Cult’s ideology, but we will make sure we carefully outline what our “sin” is, so confusion is less likely to occur.

We also got to watch other people’s presentations, which was fascinating and all of the group’s ideas were very diverse and interesting, the “Old-timey murder one” (again, I sadly forgot the name) particulry, because I love the athestic and “feel” of that era in fiction, and the stuff they are doing with fake newspapers was really cool.
