Project brief 2 consisted of all three group members getting up and talking about what we have done as individuals, and we we bring to future project briefs. We came away with our final idea of Gran Fondo. This is an event that takes place each month, that sets a certain amount of kilometres you have to ride in 24/hrs. Overall the presentation was good, but it could have been stronger and more cohesive. We all had our own ideas that we are putting together for PB3, and we showed the work we have done to get to this point. The way we delivered our ideas wasn’t as explanatory as we would have liked, which comes down to preparation and group meetings (this is a note for next time).
After PB2 I have a clear understanding of the direction that we want to head in, meaning we are all on the same pathway now, which is good for the best group dynamic. We all want to come together to create a piece that we are proud of, and that incapsulates what we have learnt across this course.
For this presentation, Sonia had already interviewed Carly (the cyclist), which is good for pre-production purposes. Rachel has gone away and focused on a different topic, BMX in Melbourne, which allowed her to develop her own filming and Korsakow techniques, which is what she brings to the group; along with me, who mainly focus on my method of working, seeing what works best in terms of content and narrative techniques.
The feedback that was given, showed me that I don’t have to have a linear narrative, and it is encouraged that we don’t. It is all about multi-linear non-narratives for these projects, and working with that structure, which is none at all. The point of a k-film is that it is not planned, it doesn’t need to be structured because that isn’t the point of it. This made me look deeper into the concept of linear and non-linear story lines, which lead into Korsakow and the user experience.
