Ideas, Mood Board and Reflection:
Group contract and expectations
Major project ideas, planning and organisation.docx
Brainstorm:
- Revolving around one character, out of touch with reality.
- Some sort of social issue or external topic that we comment on through the character.
- A bunch of small sketches revolving around the same character.
- Perhaps a character who is super old-fashioned (like 1924) dropped into 2024. A comment satirising how times have changed or not changed. – Ideas:
Ideas:
- A person who’s been transported from an older time suddenly having to navigate life and society in 2024.
- Some aspects can be satirical, and comment on how times have changed or NOT changed from the past.
- The character is bewildered and confused of modern times.
- A group of sketches each showing the character navigate a different aspect of modern life, e.g. going to uni, social media, slang, clothing, technology. · Using elements of incongruity, satire, parody, genre hybridisation (drama and comedy).
- Start of one sketch: silent comedy OR black and white, giving background on the character’s previous life.
- Wanda Vision reference, The Wizard of Oz – Tone shift. She’s transported into today’s world.
- Each sketch revolves around her navigating different aspects of modern society; going to uni, social media, slang, clothing, technology.
Reflection:
This week we formed our group for the major media project. We outlined what we wanted to do and actually discussed ideas for the final piece.
For my mood board I just wanted to explain some of the ideas. Our groups premise was to do an episodic piece around one character. They come from another era and get transported into 2024 and go through experiences of a gen z. We want to play on the juxtaposition of the times, using black and white to show the era that they are from and colour to show this era. Also using costuming to show this, yet we still haven’t decided from which era. Our sketches will most likely be satire and hybridisation. Overall I’m super excited to see where this goes!
