As our group embarked on this collaborative journey, there was an initial understanding of our collective vision. However, it took a few days of brainstorming and in-person discussions for our ideas to synchronise. After much deliberation and shared laughter, we arrived at a unified vision for our project.
Our group dynamic was strengthened by a shared sense of humour, which made decision-making surprisingly smooth. Our chosen concept revolves around creating a satirical video centred on a group of boys experiencing their first encounter with acid. The narrative unfolds with one character mistakenly believing there’s a camera, leading to a mockumentary-style approach. From there, comedic scenes will depict the characters navigating various absurd situations.
Though still in the conceptual stage, we believe our idea has substantial potential. The combination of satire and comedy allows us to explore diverse themes while engaging our audience with humour. We’re excited about the creative possibilities and eager to delve deeper into the production process.
Reflecting on our group’s first week, I recognise the importance of open communication and collaboration. Each member brought unique insights to the table, contributing to the evolution of our concept. Moving forward, I aim to maintain this spirit of collaboration, fostering a dynamic environment where creativity can flourish.
In addition to our project concept, I’ve included a link to our group contract and expectations document, underscoring our commitment to transparency and accountability within the team. I’ve also included some links to videos that I believe we can be inspired off for our video at the end of this post.
As we embark on the next phase of our project, we’re energised by the possibilities ahead. With a solid foundation laid in our first week, we’re poised to bring our vision to life and deliver a memorable media artefact.
