'You don't know the half of it'

In everyday life, we all wear masks.  It’s part of the reality of living that we have different “masks” or personas we project to the public. https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/minority-report/201803/the-masks-we-wear https://www.huffpost.com/entry/5-masks-we-wear-and-why-w_n_7786922 https://www.theodysseyonline.com/social-masks-wear https://steveroseblog.com/2017/09/30/how-we-mask-our-authenticity/ https://psych2go.net/five-ways-drop-social-mask/ https://strathprints.strath.ac.uk/43402/ https://blogs.psychcentral.com/emotionally-sensitive/2012/01/wearing-masks/

Today, we were asked to develop our prototypes further. We have decided to develop our website further and make it so that it better reflects our project goal. For colour schemes for the website I looked at the below colour wheel about emotions to decide on what colours to use in the website.  We're developing our website in such a way that it appears more professional and suits our chosen theme better too. Our website will display our documentary  series which, will contain a series of interviews. Our interviews will be more complex than before because after receiving feedback on our project, we decided that this would be the best course to take. Our website will be easy to navigate through and will be simplistic in style but in keeping with our chosen theme and concept.  Four our series of interviews we will also be conducting an introduction scene to the interview video. This introduction scene will display a collage of current students faces which, we feel wil...

Documentary Research After watching different documentary styles we decided we want to do an observational documentary. We will sit back and film we will also incorporate interviews with random members of the public and members of LGBTQ+.  We don't want our voices heard but we will be asking questions.

This week we had to present our project to our peers and lecturers through the use of Prezi. Here is the link to our Prezi: link The presentation went well. We felt we got our point across clearly. 

This week we formed our group! Our Group members are Esmee, Eva, Isabel, Kira and Nicole. We were first given a talk by our lecturer's about the Project Topic. We began to brainstorm our ideas together and write them down. We discussed each other's individual concept boards to the topic.  We got to brainstorm our ideas with our group project supervisors. It was really interesting to hear everybody else's take on the topic.  We decided to discuss Nicole's topic of communication and how it has changed over time. We also liked Eva's idea of fashion.  After listening to our classmates idea's we decided that Nicole's idea of communication was fairly similar to the other team's projects. We wanted to do something completely different. We also found out that another team was playing off the topic of fashion. This made us reevaluate our ideas. If we went with the idea of fashion, we didn't want our project to be compared to another group's project. S...
