Critiquing creativity
I really enjoyed today’s media workshop. All throughout last year in studio arts we would discuss our ideas and our concepts and explaining them was a very liberating feeling. I noticed a lot of other students took brief NO. 1 very bluntly. to elaborate, they took a “this is this and that is that” approach when filming, photographing, or recording their audio in terms of explaining themselves. I took a very abstract and representational approach to the brief. For example instead of me talking in the audio or playing an instrument, i took a recording of a genuine conversation with a friend in which I end up howling in laughter at something said. I put this in because I take pride in presenting myself in a proper, social kind of way, but my laugh goes against that and is the one thing i don’t try to control/maintain, so to put that as a part of my brief was really personal and true to who I am in a not so blunt way.
