Blog reflection Week 11

What have you been doing this week?

This week we have been focusing on the performance shots for our video. After completing the intial classroom shots which would form the beginning of our narrative we have now considered moving on to the performance shots. The performance shots will be shot at the end of this week in Brick, Lane East London. We took inspiration for these from several artists including Stormzy and Katy Perry. We anticipate that these will be the most exciting shots for the video as we are not restrained to a narrative therefore we can explore and use creativity as far as possible.


 What key concepts have you been focusing on?
They key concepts we have been focusing on have been narrative structure. We learnt about several narrative structure's including Todorov's structure and Barthes' codes. We planned earlier how we were going to use this however making the narrative appear clear to the audience is going to be harder than we first thought.

What main decisions and revisions have you made?
We have decided to keep the dialogue for the first scene which will hopefully aid the audience in understanding the narrative. Also we made some new decisions about the other narrative shots and decide to include more action rather than the artist just writing or talking.
