Its Everybody's Business

We gotta Stick Together

Tag: Workshop 7

Workshop Week 7

During this workshop we were given our final assessment task, Project Brief 4. This is a group presentation – groan. Now i dont have anything against group presentations, however, in my personal experience this is often time that people slack off work and allow others to do most of the work – lets hope that this does not happen this time. We were numbered off into groups, to ensure that we got to work with people who we previously had not. The funny part is, that i had temporarily left my table of friends to deliver a message to the other side of the room, this resulted in me being numbered into a group with my friend Tyler, who I know quite well. Exxxcccellent.

We then got into our groups and started working on our collaborative contract, this took some time because we also needed to introduce ourselves to eachother.

The collaborative contract was interesting, because it required us to make a detailed outline of how we would go about this task. I have been privileged enough to work with groups before so I believe that i have a have a strong grasp on concepts such as consultation and conflict resolution. Nevertheless it was an interesting activity to put together a plan of collaboration, it somewhat ensures that everybody will pull their weight. Lets Hope

Project Brief 3 – Feedbeck

After posting my “Project Brief 3” we attended class and presented them. Using the following “Hats” or reactions we then provided feedback to each other.

RED – Initial response to the piece

YELLOW – Something you liked about the piece

BLACK – Something that Doesn’t work

GREEN – Another creative possibility

These are the reflections i received

Red – The tone of the video started out from the beginning as relaxed and not too intense, it gave time for us to become familiar with Khalil before it went into the more intense montage about dance

Yellow – The way the cartoon contrasted yet suited the narrative. The way that it was a small box in the middle of the screen also reminded of “The Illustrated Auschwitz” (YES! This is what i was going for!)

Black – Felt as though there was not enough time for the audience to really comprehend what was happening in the cartoon cut-aways. Perhaps allow them to run longer and allow time to absorb. Also it would be nice to learn more about Khalil, it felt very surface level.

Green – Perhaps you could use a larger variety of found footage. Not just the one cartoon of the bird – it would be nice to see a range of different perspectives.
