My pitch to my fellow group members (in our Google Doc):

I think for the project to be ‘iterative’, the ‘rules’ or ‘parameters’ should be focussed on location. A practice that Kerry and I developed last year was to meet at a specific location once or twice a week from about Week 7/8 until the end of the semester. In the beginning it was about finding the shots by experimenting with the space, and as each visit went on it was about refining the shots that we felt most strongly about. This could be a useful practice; to avoid time wasting we probably don’t need to do as much improvisation, but using the same location could develop our work, and give each of us a chance to create a body of work (which felt like a priority for all of us). We could find a script, and each shoot the same scene (at the same location), rotating roles so each member has a chance to shoot the material how they want it (in terms of questions of lighting, blocking and camera placement, etc).

If we were to follow through with this idea, this week should be solely dedicated to planning the remaining weeks out.

Maybe the work that we aim for could be something like:

• 1 shot focussed on using natural light sources
• 1 shot focussed on using artificial light sources
• 1 shot in colour
• 1 shot in black in white
