This week, we’re down and dirty with it. We’ve gone away for a bit and had a solid crank at our respective creative intuitions, mine being screenwriting a few drafts, while others within the group have made an audio playlist of thematic songs, mood boards, storyboards, etc. This really has the vision of the production come together. While a little less understated comically, and more elastic and bouncy, the humanizing aspect of this kind of pessimistic lifestyle is still solid.

With the presentation coming up this Monday, nerves are running high. We feel confident in our idea, though a presentation is always tricky, especially with a concept that is notable for its subtlety and nicheness. As such, we aim to truly thrust the relativity to other media, a grounding agent that will have the viewer establish their own bonds and understandings about what we’re aiming to achieve. Through this, we’re pivoting upon American Movie, The Inbetweeners, Spaced, The Cornetto Trilogy, and Portlandia. All of which, awkward, fairly grounded comedies that generally carry similar themes or plot threads or ideas of young adulthood and sharehousing. Alongside this, we have a range of extra-visual materials that portray our theme.

Outside all of this, we have a fair basis of materials for our solid themes, coming up in this presentation this Monday and coming weeks we have a centralized, combined view that will serve our foundation going forward, so frankly, I’m fairly comfortable right now. I have no doubts we will receive strong feedback, I feel some parts of our plot’s structure are a little unbalanced at the moment and there might be some concerns about the sharpness of the premise, as right now the conflict isn’t super refined, more a splay of different aspects of a student’s lifestyle. In all, I’m feeling good, despite the mounting pressures of this semester reaching its various crescendos.
