Post briefing thoughts - Story projects

-
During our briefing today we were given starting points for both our Soundscapes project and the Script to Screen project.

Soundscapes

For this project we were given three images and asked to create a 30 second soundtrack for what we think each image would sound like. I decided to start by brainstorming ideas of what each image made me think of. This was a bit of a challenge but ultimately should help me start figuring out what direction to take the sounds in for each soundscape.

This week we received the summer project that is to be completed before beginning our first year of the CAA course in a few weeks time. The first stage of this process is the beginning of idea generation. We were given a number of objects, from which we have to create 101 different concepts (including life forms, machines and structures) and then develop 3 of these further.  These are the items that we were given to develop the concepts from. They are ordinary objects, but the trick is to create the extraordinary or unusual concepts from these. The following are the concepts that I have created in the last few days:

Three and five act structures are key devices used in effective storytelling. They give narratives and stories a pleasing base structure upon which the weave the elements to create a unique viewpoint.
