Family

So for our Applied Animation module we were briefed to pick one topic (FAMILY, ENVIRONMENT, SPORTS, MENTAL HEALTH) and make a 1-2 minute documentary about it. And then we got grouped up. I was grouped with Ollie and feel very excited about it because I feel he can bring a lot of creative vision to the table. After brainstorming about various ideas for the family topic we made an idea map and how we would execute it. Ollie really wanted to stick with the idea of interviewing war veterans and doing a documentary about war stories, however I was conserened we would struggle to find people to interview about their memories. I had an idea to research euthanasia because it is a very sensitive topic and I believe it could be interesting to investigate, and ultimatley it is a family decision. But Ollie proposed to build on the interviews we take, so which ever idea we run with, the interviews are going to shape the outcome of the animation. Eventually, we settled with the idea of food culture in families and what is the traditional family dinner. We thought, the topic is very relevant because  the food culture in families seems to be slipping nowadays due to a fast passed lifestyle young families seem to engage with. The target audience would be our peers, people in the age 18-26 because it is the next generation of families. We want to interview people of all ages, the bigger veriaty of age and background difference the better.
Really excited to get this ball rolling!!
