Past monday, I met Kristian and Sandy to discuss on project brief 4. We were given ‘mediums’ as our topic, so we all laid down our ideas on table and made a collaborative contract. We discussed possibilities to present the idea in each artifact present there. Kristian popped up with the idea to present how each medium interacts with the audience and present it on a website. Two different mediums were divided among us for less work load. In mutual consent we agreed to the idea but in regards to artifact we decided to lay it till our workshop day, where we can discuss with Rachel if we are on a right track. Then ‘it’ happened last thursday, Shattered dreams.

No, not quite, Rachel did like our idea but she was of the view that either its too vague or it seems that it will be hectic for us to actually present it in the end. She gave an idea that to focus on a single text rather than all the mediums. So this is a mind map that we made first:

our first idea was to present each medium with multiple tabs on a website, so if we were to showcase cinema as a medium, we would make a small 2-3 minute clip to tell how cinema is different from mediums and so on. But I guess we won’t be doing that anymore.

Now we decided to focus on “GTA V’ and will discuss how cinematic elements along with the sounds and the control systems of a video game provides an immersive experience for a player as medium to communicate. Lets hope it turns out well, I’m excited and nervous at the same time. The group meeting is this Monday, let’s see how it goes.
