In today’s tutorial we got into it and started to properly discuss our ideas for Project Brief 4. Assigned with the topic “institutions”, to begin with we were somewhat stumped. It seemed to be the hardest thing to hone in on, with too many possibilities imaginable. However, after creating a great mind map and after much discussion, we opened our ideas up vastly and had a much greater understanding on which direction we wanted to head in. After deciding to focus on film festivals and their importance and influence within cinema culture, we started researching. As a group, we found some really interesting starting point from which we can really begin our annotated bibliography due next week. I’m really happy with the progress we made today, along with the sense of comfort that comes with understanding the topic and the ideas of my other group members.
