Last week, Rachel made some suggestions for how we could best progress with our final project brief.
- Make sure that everyone is asking the same questions of the texts they are analysing (this prompted us to create a list of 3 questions to focus our work)
- Keep the focus narrow so you can increase the depth of the work
- Take out side ideas – remixing, Space Odyssey
- Left with: Texts > Adaptations > Romeo & Juliet
- Extra ideas for looking at Romeo & Juliet
- Look at soundtracks separately from the films as this is a whole different medium
- E.g. original soundtrack composed for West Side Story
- Book of West Side Story
- Look at soundtracks separately from the films as this is a whole different medium
This advice was helpful for us as it gave us a better idea of the direction we needed to go in for our brief and helped us clarify in our heads the work we still needed to complete.
