Unfortunately, I happened to miss the Monday of this school week. I later learnt that in my absence the class encountered some serious problems in regard to groups. Various different members of the class were seemingly discontent with either the groups or concepts they found themselves working with. Despite this being unprofessional behaviour, it undoubtedly created rifts and tension in some of the groups meaning the class required a reshuffle. I was able to return of the Tuesday and play some part in this decision. As it turned out, the best possible solution where everyone in the class would be happy would be to create an extra group so that a certain four members would be able to work together. This involved my and Rachel forming that supplementary. This obviously seems very detrimental as I now have less people to work with but I am happy with the way things have turned out. Myself and Rachel are good friends who share similar ideas and work ethic. We are also both photography students meaning we will be able to utilize this set of skills later in the course.
Being in a new group, this meant we had to start devising a relatively new set of ideas. Rachel immediately wasn't sure on the stickman idea, which also suited me as I had seriously began to doubt the feasibility of creating the animation. However, we could both agree that we wanted to work within the genre of indie rock. We started discussing songs in order to use these as a springboard for possible ideas. We created a brainstorming sheet and set each other homework to go home and try to invent doable concepts. We are now in a position where decisions have to be made quickly. Despite this, me and Rachel are comfortable enough to be completely honest with one another which certainly speeds up the process. I am now looking forward to what we can create from here.
