Supervisor Meeting - Jeanette 1

Due to the nature of my project I have two supervisor's : Jeanette Paul and Chris Rowland. Just completed my first supervisor meeting with Jeanette. This was the first meeting I have had with her and it was nice to talk through my project rationale with someone who I had never been a student with before. Jeanette's background is in architecture and she previously used to work in several firms within Edinburgh itself which is incredibly useful in terms of my project. Because Jeanette has no animation experience it was interesting to hear her take on the narrative and some interesting points were made. Ultimately it was a good, positive meeting and I feel that it will become invaluable to have as many opinions on the project as possible.





Meeting Notes/ Conclusions
- The project is coming along clearly but deciding on the final narrative will be tricky and I should find
  ways to create a framework or decisive stance which will limit the possibilities and decisions in the
  direction which this project will take.
- Consider the potential atmosphere which could be created with sound.  Should it be mechanical noises,
  realistic, that of the building being constructed, a classical or delicate piece to contrast with the building,
  a Futurist piece of music, a voice-over of the manifesto...or something else...
- Keeping the images simple and more realistic is working to highlight the contrast between Futurist
  theory and the historical context and is in-keeping with what the Futurist's would have done by simply
  putting a building on an unrelated site [Should look at Battersea Power-Station London]
- Public reaction and shock value will be important so public opinion on images and the film along the
  way could be interesting to investigate : considering a series of images with questionnaire
- Creating a series of Tourism/Advertisement posters is not a bad idea of investigating the dichotomy
   associated with Futurism and writing a project rationale for the degree show in the style of a manifesto
   could be a good exercise.
- Colour is important so by building up a photographic texture library of Edinburgh and looking at
  1930's artwork is a good way to create the final pallete for the piece.
- Keep going and work on the storyboard/animatic so that after much chop and change a narrative can
  emerge.
