Project Brief – Interview

“This is a collaborative project. You are to work in groups of three and, depending
on the composition of the pathway cohort, animators and filmmakers are
encouraged to work on the same project.

You are to begin by filming an interview with your chosen subject. This material
may reveal a wide variety of narratives, personal stories, accounts of events,
explanations of facts, historical data, etc. However, while the starting place for
this project is a common moving image form (the interview) you are asked not to
develop this material into a conventional documentary format. Instead, you
should employ animation, film and photography creatively to visualise your
material. You do not have to use the original film footage in your piece unless
you choose to do so. The important thing to keep in mind as you develop your
project is that, while you must stick to the facts that you are using as a basis,
the piece that you are make should be an imaginative and creative response
to them.”
