As a group of three, we each started with a separate topic in order to see what works and what doesn’t when going forward into future project briefs. We were able to individually discover elements of Korsakow and see how we work best. This will be beneficial in bringing the group together.

The point of this exercise/test for me was to see what structure I could or wanted to work with. I liked playing with the idea of not revealing the character until later in the online documentary. I experimented with the idea that what if the bike you rode/ owned told us about who you are. I used someone that I know that rides a bike.

Altogether I have 12 videos that I made into a k-film, 10 to 20 seconds long each, with the project having a start SNU and an end SNU. The videos throughout have various outpoints, giving the user more options. I wanted the viewer to be able to see the bike or parts of the bike before showing the character. This way the viewer can create expectations about the bike and decide what person could be riding it. Over the videos there are voice overs of the character telling the viewer why they ride and what they think of cycling, and what they use their bike for, and where they go.

I wanted to start with the outside layers, and slowly work towards a more intimate level. I created this project so that the viewer would see the most important videos, besides that, they created their own journey.

I experimented with text throughout the k-film, so I created two projects, one with text and one without, to see how it affects the project. I didn’t think that it was as effective, as I didn’t want the text to be explanatory, and I didn’t want it to influence where the viewer clicked next. The text I used was more questions that applied to the story, not the videos themselves.

The technical issues were not the most important feature when creating this test, as I was mainly focusing on my method of working. From doing this brief I have learnt possible ways to approach the future projects that we will be doing as a group.
