The past eight weeks in the studio have been exciting. We have had the opportunity to work with online video practices that interested us, and have proceeded to deconstructing them as well as worked on many sketches to help us better understand it. We’ve received the brief for Project Four, and that is to create a prototype from one of our sketches in our previous project.

Before proceeding with all that, however, Seth decided to give a mini lecture on several key terms that we have been using in the studio. Some of the words included narrative, non-narrative and interactive. I remember not fully understanding these words back in the first few weeks of the studio, and the way I comprehended it was rather vague.

In the studio today, Seth gave us a couple of readings and also showed us some clips and videos to help us understand these terms. With today’s class doubled up with all the previous studio sessions, I can say that I am beginning to truly understand what this is all about and why we are doing this. My classmates are also great inspirations, and it’s never dull to hear what each group is doing because all our ideas and proposals are always so different.

After all that, we also went to a nearby café just to have a chat about what has been going on in the studio. It was a good change from sitting in our usual spots, and I got to talk to have several casual conversations with a few of my classmates. It was a nice breather, and Jia Jia and I also came up with some ideas that we might want to pursue in Project Four.
