Thinking about the presentation today sparked a whole range of ideas and concerns with me for this project. Before I get stuck into them I’d just like to quickly recap the aims/plan of the project.

So the project is based around the concept of The Five Obstructions. The idea is to explore how different varieties and combinations of constraints effect the reinterpretation of the meaning and coverage of a text. Though this I aim to breakdown my own approach in relation coverage in the attempt to push myself to think in some more experimental methods and hopefully produce some creative or at least interesting results.

At the present state I am attempting to breakdown the nature of different constraints, what makes them work and what separates them from stylistic preference.

At the moment I have no idea which text I will try to cover, ideally I would use a different set of constraints on the same text repeatedly. Leth’s film The Perfect Human seems an obvious choice however I haven’t thought on this issue yet. I also am yet to think of which constraints to pick, or if I should get someone else to pick them.

My main concern that has arisen from thinking about this topic is that perhaps it is too personal. How would I go about researching these areas? I feel like any writing that happens will primarily be reflecting on the task rather than researching it so Who does this research benefit?  I think as at the moment seeing as the project is based on my approach and interpretations to the material it will mainly benefit my own learning. However I’m not sure if that is satisfactory I feel the need to link my observations to other work, another area which I need to think upon.
