In week 5 we were able to watch everyone’s mini documentaries for assessment 1. it was good to see everyone’s different vibe of the assessment and I think I gained a bit of knowledge and inspiration for what to do for the next one. It was interesting to see everyone else’s differ spinoff when given the same constraints. Observing how my peers worked with the assessment, allowed me to learn a lot and provided me with new perspectives on how to approach the next one. Overall, this helped highlighted the importance of rewatching them all together as a class. I was able to identify strengths and strategies in other people’s work that I might not have thought of on my own. My appreciation and grasp of the creative process have been greatly enhanced by this group experience.
We spoke a lot about assessment 2 and how we would be integrating ai into the whole assessment. Which I am pretty nervous about, but I think it will be good to gage an idea on how to do that and I think it will be very important to know to do. AI is and will probably be a difficult concept to incorporate, especially given how complicated and quickly developing the subject is. Nonetheless, I understand that developing my ability to integrate AI well would be extremely beneficial for future projects and potentially employment chances, in addition to this course. The use of AI in contemporary creative processes is becoming more and more evident, and becoming proficient with it could lead to many opportunities.
To end the week, we did a Prompt battle with having a lot of constraints and different prompts to make. Most of them were film genres whilst adding more random and opposite vibes so that the ai would be a bit confused and we had to tweak it so that it would make it more accurate. An example of this was film noir and pirates. I personally haven’t seen any black and white films with pirates. It may be a thing, or it may not. We also did a spaghetti western theme whilst creating cowboys having a standoff. This seemed to be easier for Leonardo ai to comprehend whilst it did still add on 6 fingers or no eyes. It was easier for the ai to comprehend something that more people have searched up rather than something a little bit more random that not many people would be looking up.
