[Authors Own, September 13]
This week there were some aspects I really enjoyed, I have also learnt a few key things within the lens based world that are helpful and key for me to know as a creative designer. Day three of the rotation I throughly enjoyed and learnt the most from - Seb offered the class to come and talk about our stories, which I did, and in my talk with Seb we challenged, explored and pushed my story trying to really maximise the potential of my story - I think this really worked well as I got a view from what the audience would think, reflected in Sebs views. I then was able to see the weaknesses of my story, leaving me with questions to overcome and make my story better for example:
- why was was seeing her reflection so important for my protagonist?
- my story is heavily reliant on text, how can I avoid this?
- even if my protagonist saw her reflection - why would it make her feel better? some people see their reflection and are still not confident in themselves?
As a result I came up with a whole new story, with the help of my previous story, which I believe is much more strong and captivating. The new story I believe will also get a wider audience emotionally attached, which in the real world of film making would be positive as it allows the film to attract more people which will result in the film making more money. It also includes the factor of life and death, which through this week I have learnt it is one of the most important factors as it most often controls and moves a story and its audience.
The new developed story:

If I had to do any thing differently I would try to get peer feedback sooner or whilst creating my story so I am able to develop my story quicker, as if my story was developed quicker I may of had time to actually try to shoot a quick film - so time management is definitely something I need to manage better.
To prepare for next weeks task I will try to work on my time management - trying to get the tasks done quicker, so I can push my work more.
Your storyboard is neatly laid out and has a clear introduction, problem, struggle and resolution. I like how you admitted that there were things that you would do differently and that you know how to solve your issue.
