This week was primarily an introduction to the module we will be covering this semester. We also got assigned our project groups for the short film presentation we will have to do on week three. We got a chance to look through all of the films in the morning and then in the afternoon we did an exercise to help us identify the armature and the steps of the hero’s journey and how important they are to story telling. For this exercise, we rolled dice in our groups and then we have to come up with a short story relating to the images which we rolled. We rolled a set of pirate dice, and so we came up with a story of an old man who guarded some treasure on a deserted island. A noble man comes to steal it, with her men and they try to make the old man walk the plank. When they do this, a curse is revealed and the Kraken is released from the depths of the ocean, killing the nobleman and his crew. The old man however, is able to survive and escapes back to his island. This exercise was useful as it enabled us to be able to understand how to create a story from the bottom and all the important points which need to be covered in order for the audience to understand it. I have included photographs of my notes from this exercise as I took the role of the note taker.
