After altering our scrapbook sketch by replacing the background music with ambient audio from the café – as can be seen in this post – Jia Jia and I proceeded with thinking of more ways in which we could improve our prototype for Project Four.

We had some ideas to change the still images to moving visuals, as in having them in the form of a video instead of pictures. However, after talking to Seth, he reminded us that there is already a lot of potential in our current idea with the still images. We realised that we may be taking too big steps in trying to change it up, and that we should slow down.

Jia Jia and I then came up with a couple of different iterations, still following the same concept but making a slow move towards progress, one which would eventually be our final prototype. We find that this is important, because it gives us the opportunity to see things step-by-step, and not to rush into something that we are unsure of. Some of our ideas would play around with the visual quality of the images, the background audio, the stylistic techniques, and so on.

We plan to think of some ideas as to which cafés we could visit over the weekend, then get some sketches done on Monday. Thinking about it, we would need to find a café that allows us to film with ease; one that has decent lighting, and also sufficient space to do what we have planned out.
