In today’s practical we were grouped up by tables and discusses each other’s work through De Bono’s Six Thinking Hat theory. Edward De bono – a Maltese physician, psychologist, author, inventor and consultant devised project construction into six coloured hats that categorise each element of a project and it’s ability to advance. The six hats – blue, white, green, yellow, black and red – all “provides a framework to help people think clearly and thoroughly by directing their thinking attention in one direction at a time”.

This system allowed each member of the group to give their own opinions about each other’s work, broadening ideas from artist’s initial perspective.

White – Show us more of your relationship.

Green – Enjoyed my use of Slow-mo. Continue to use effects that capture the things I am interested in.

Black – Make sure all my slides are from the last week.
