Week 2: Mini Film Festival

During our three hour workshop in week 2, we were given the challenge of creating a small narrative through a slideshow of photos we’d taken on the streets, with a particular focus on the world of this narrative. The activity got us collaborating and gearing up creatively, the latter of which will be much needed in the coming weeks as we come up with ideas for our final projects. The most testing part was producing an idea that fit into 5-9 pictures. Our initial idea was creating a romance film where a pair were separated by the bars at Old Melbourne Gaol (which ended up being done by another group), but we ended up landing on a tragedy where one was killed in a car crash when we came across a door that read ‘City Morgue’. The world we wanted to try and create was bleak and dour, which was only very achievable through the look of the frames given the limited amount of space to tell the story. Grey and dark colours were emphasized, especially from the middle to end, to give the sense of grief and regret that the man is feeling after his partner was killed. I was happy with our final product for this activity and felt like I took a lot away from it!
