Monday 30th March Studio (Week 5)

Today’s studio entailed the presentation of project 2. Although not everyone was able to present during the time slot, I was pleased that we were able to do our presentation today as I had been nervous about the presentation and eager to get it out of the way. Upon presenting our work, any nerves were very quickly cleared as I realised that I had in fact prepared a large amount of information and as a result our presentation ran over time and felt rushed. This highlighted the importance of condensing the presentation and communicating our ideas more simpler for project 3. Overall I was satisfied with the presentation and I think it helped me contextualise the case study and the project a lot more specifically toward the studio prompt which will assist in the development of project 3.

For project 3 it seems, quite differently to the transition between project 1 and project 2, we should take one particular element that has emerged in project 2 and conduct an intense exploration surrounding that. This prompts Errol and I to discuss whether we would like to take one of the elements we have discovered thus far and move away from skate video, or continue down the same trajectory. I think although moving away from skate videos could be interesting to see what we find, however it is important to take advantage of your strengths. Therefore, given Errol and my own experience in skate and bmx video, we chose to continue with this example of online video practice. Furthermore, given the exploration of hybrid form between skate video and the informative documentary within the case study has prompted so much discussion and interrogation thus far, it seemed a waste to disregard this progress for a fresh concept. Quickly hypothesising what we might take from project 2 into project 3, I am flooded with ideas surrounding the transition between images as a point of exploration.
