Beyond a Joke, Beyond a Genre – Week 7
The beginning of something great…
This is the first week of creating and making our final project. In my group is Anna, Chloe, Bobby and Oscar. We all have a flexible attitude and seem to already be accepting of particular roles for the project. I think we will all contribute to the overall narrative because we are loaded with ideas.
I was absent for most of this week but here is some of the work that was documented:
- We immediately created a google drive folder so that our work can easily be shared and collaborated.
- A group contract was put together, outlining our commitment and communication to the project.
- Separate mood boards were made. These mood boards included mostly images and screenshot of shows and characters that we can get inspiration from. Some examples are Mr Bean, Hairspray, 17 Again, The Wizard of Oz, The Good Place, Napoleon Dynamite ect -> I will explain in the next dot point.
- We want to create a short form series which follows a particular character who transports to a different timeline and experiences the future and all its propaganda. The idea is that we will satirise a lot of real-life-modern tropes through our character. we feel as though there are so many things in the modern world that are quite ridiculous and frankly, extra, so we want to “make fun” of that. For example, the obsession with our phones.
