- Re-tell an existing story so that it is presented differently
- The outcome must convey time and movement
Considerations
- Movement, kinetic, motion, being in motion
- Animation, bring to ‘life’, re-animation, re-enactment
- Sequence and perspective, the ordering of information for narration
- Time, historical time, past, present and future
- Ordering, categorisations and presentations of time
It may be fictional or based on events that are known to have happened
- A familiar or popular narrative such as a myth, fable, legend, novel, film etc.
- A long past historical event
- A recent happening that is related to current affairs
Consider what a ‘story’ is in the broadest sense
The ‘story’ you decide to work may exist in any form.
- A news article or report broadcast
- A monument; natural or built.
- A piece of music
- A poem or short story
- A feature film, animation, or piece of archival footage.
- An artwork, painting sculpture.
Choose something that interests and inspires you.
You may want to
- present a different perspective
- offer an original creative adaptation
- reimagine the story in a different context
What are the different meanings and messages that are associated with your story?
- What elements of the story would you like to focus on?
- How else could this information be represented?
- What affects would these changes make?
Outcome
- movement through time presented in a static sequence
- a moving image, animation or film
- a physical or digital kinetic object or thing
Consider
- How can time and movement be conveyed through different media and forms?
- How can time and movement be communicated through imagery and sequence?
- How does time and movement relate to your story?
My ideas
- Inspired by a Japanese literature ‘’I Am A Cat’’
- Create an short animation
- Change the time = present, main character = myself
- Through first person perspective as a cat
- To show what’s a cat’s life would be throughout the day
- Show cat has human thoughts (thinking bubble?)
- Mood: Sarcastic, whimsy
