Project 5, Term 1: Sequential Images and Narrative Structures

Thursday 12th November 2009

Today i came up with an idea for my 3 minute video. It is called 'Fly on the Wall'. I came up with it from the saying 'if only i could be a fly on the wall.

My idea was to have a fly that flew around and went into different peoples lives, which appear normal but all have their secrets.

Feedback:

I went to Jim today for feedback and he said that my story may be a little complex and that i should do what i literally said and se it from a fly's point of view, we may not see much but we may here a few secrets. I was told to take a few pictures from a flys point of view and experiment with it.
