Over the last few weeks of this module, I have come to realize that I was not enjoying the process of constructing and creating my previous idea, and that it was not about a topic that particularly interested or inspired me.
After speaking to my tutor, it became apparent that, with the amount of time left, this would be the last possible time to change my idea and start a new project.
I have chosen to stick with animation as the medium of my creative project, but have come up with a new idea, and a question to base my project around.
The question to base my creative project around would be: 'How does the recent news topic of tampons being classed as a 'luxury item' and therefore subject to EU tax reflect how gender roles and the female body are represented within a patriarchal society?'
I plan on creating an online questionnaire and gathering people's opinions on this subject. I would like the responses to be fairly informal, and the questionnaire would be completely anonymous except for the person's gender.
I plan on using statistics, quotes from news articles, and responses from my questionnaire, and animating these in a sort of up-beat modern stylistic way, also using simple animated images and graphs/charts to illustrate them.
I would like to use interesting and entertaining animated transition techniques to aid the progression (or narrative?) of my animation. I also would like to use music and sound effects along with this.
With this new idea I feel a lot more inspired to work on my creative project. Being able to have a clear question to work on makes progressing in project a lot easier and less daunting. Now that I am working with a topic that I am interested in I will hopefully enjoy this module a lot more.
