This week included preparing and prepping to present the three possible participants for our final video docu-series. We narrowed the participants down from the most compelling story that they gave us and what we thought would work the best for us. Out of a musician The Lemon Wedges, tattoo artist Connor and spray painting artist April. We ended up choosing April who is the spray paint artist. She has worked in many different mediums and her influences follow her journey of coming to Melbourne from rural Victoria. We chose her because her story matches the brief, we as a group could visualise how the story could be filmed and executed, Sarah E knows her so dynamics and communication is easier, she is an RMIT student so her studio is on campus easiest place for us to visit. 

A question that was raised by Seth was whether April’s quality is developed enough for this point in her career? Our group believes even though she is in the early stages of her career this could be a point to address where she sees herself later down the line, how she can develop herself and her work more. In addition to focusing more on how her move from Ballarat to Melbourne has influenced her work. 

Overall I believe we have chosen a good participant. Our goal next is to storyboard, get our gear ready, communicate with April on locations and times, fill out safety forms and update our VPW in order to be fully prepared for filming.
