Today in class we began but getting into our usual class circle to discuss our ideas and briefs for the next project. As a class we had an idea to propose to Jimmy. We thought that we could make our films as a class, one unit, instead of making individual videos in pairs. The reason we proposed this idea to Jimmy was because we thought that since we are all making a video based on the same ideas we could make one really good one as a collective.
I think that one of the main reasons we felt really strong about doing a video as a collective was because we are nearing finals and we are all getting really stressed out about our time management. I know that's my main problem right now. With 4 classes and work I find it difficult some weeks to find the time to complete everything I need to do. I usually make it to the very end with everything completed but my sanity in compromise in the process. I think that I need to learn how to challenge myself but at the same time not put too much on my plate because I am only one person and sometimes I cannot do all the things I set out to do.
Jimmy ended up shutting down our idea and telling us that we need to stop hesitating on the video and just start creating something that is fun and interesting to ourselves. We need to be having fun, because that is when our work is the best.
The rest of the class was spent talking about the pros and cons of our design program and comparing it to NorthRidges' program. Our classmate Jung a design student teaches at North Ridge so he was able to give us a little look into their program and how they do things,
My partner and I decided that our video would be fun and energetic and focus on diversity, individualism and the family aspect that we all share in common.
