OVE 4 R’s Reflection

Reporting: The only real main concern I have in this studio so far is getting a really clear understanding of what is it to explore a hybrid narrative form. This is obviously relevant in the context of the project because it plays a large role in the creation of our sketches. So far I’m not quite sure if my sketches go in that direction of looking at and experimenting with this concept of a hybrid narrative, especially if I’m basing my sketches off something mostly non-narrative (gaming), but at the same time I also feel I have the potential to explore such a thing because I’m trying to combine it with a Vine-like structure.

Relating: From the narrative reading I reflected on a few weeks ago, I guess  have some understanding on it, but to apply it is a different thing. However, I may have a better understanding than I thought when I think about my experience with video making.

Reasoning: As said earlier, given my experience of making videos on YouTube, being able to really think about the content of the videos, why I’ve made it the way it is could answer my questions about what really defines a hybrid narrative and how I can apply it to my sketches. In terms of relevant theory, Dr. Caroline Bassett’s reading on anti-narrative kind of gives me an idea of how to define narrative.

Reconstructing: How can I approach this next time? Well after reflecting I’ve thought of an idea of how I may explore a gaming video in terms of creating a hyrbid narrative. Thinking about it, it’s feels quite simple, despite the games I’m exploring being non-narrative, I may make a story out of it regardless using dialogue or even text/caption.
