Late post but none the less…

During todays tutorial, Seth used our group’s concept statement as an example to show how we have progressed in the project. His feedback was positive as it highlighted the fact that we had payed little attention to the hybrid narrative / non-narrative form of the case study itself. Errol and I had another study session after the studio to design new sketches that explored the hybrid form, as well as adjusting other various sketches to closer address these notions. This shifted the focus of our presentation away from plainly addressing notions of content, which was originally identified as an issue in previous discussion. To address these notions, the idea of mixing skate video within other contexts became a focal point. I designed a sketch that created a hybrid narrative and non-narrative between skate video and a community event / festival.I also reworked previous sketches so that a comparison between first person narration and third person narration could be explored. In addition, camera acknowledgement and therefore the presence of camera was added as a final sketch. I have learnt from feedback that sketches similar to these new ones are important in order to address the studio prompt because they explore narrative / non-narrative form as a hybrid, specific to elements found in the case study. Therefore addressing the form itself, rather than becoming caught up on stylistic techniques that may not contribute toward a narrative / non-narrative.
