For the last part of the brief we were given the task of creating a 12 image narrative in association with what image we chose to expand our 8 images on. Mine was a postbox, and since it isn't a moving object, I thought this was the most difficult part of the brief. I started off with two main ideas. One was to have a post box which everyone knows and loves, and suddenly a van takes it away and it disappears, only to be found in an antique shop of some sort. My other idea was to have two post boxes on a street and one gets used more than the other. A child suddenly takes a liking to the one less liked, and then the other gets jealous. I chose my first idea to develop.
I quickly jotted down what I wanted in each of the twelve images so I wouldn't run out of boxes or end up with not having enough to fill them. They are pretty brief, but they acted as a great guideline in what I wanted to achieve in my narrative.
This ended up to be my narrative. I used pen with multiple thicknesses and also etching to achieve the look I wanted. I also thought that pen is the most time efficient for me, and this brief requires you to work quickly, therefore I thought it fit best. I do like the end result of my narrative since before it, I didn't really know where it would take me.
In the end, I really enjoyed this brief. It took me a few times to think around things after being stuck for ideas, but allowing myself to experiment with different materials and think outside the box has made me overcome my fears. I would love to try a brief like this again, perhaps however with a more exciting word as a starting point.
