At first I was really rebellious to this, because it took a week out of our original project which for the project I am currently working on, time is very important. But after time I kinda came round to it and saw the reasoning for the week so there was no point in just spending a week wasting time. I was paired with two girls that were constructing an animation, and two girls that were working in graphics. There subjects were extremely diverse and there was no way we could directly produce a piece of work that related to all of our subjects.
In that case we just started to list ideas and concepts for pieces of work that we found exciting rather than stuff were already working within. In which we came across playing with light and fireworks. With past experience in photographing fireworks I brought up the idea of steel wool and we looked into different shapes and pictures we could construct from taking long exposure photographies of sparks from lit steel wool. I went out and took some photos with two of the girls creating a number of shapes and then the graphics girls played around with the images in photoshop.
Eventually we came up with a final image of the rough shape/outline of man made from the buning sparks. Although this doesn't relate to my project it can be a physical representation of a persons inner strength and power. The main thing I took away from this week was to look at the project with a more open mind rather than fixating about guidelines and rules. Sometimes the best things come from breaking the rules and going against what you'd naturally think.
