I thought that this afternoon it would be a nice idea for our group to meet for lunch, just as a way to socialise a little more outside of the Hilton House surroundings, and get to know more about one another and our specialised areas. We met in the union bar, eager to see how one another were getting on. Not much had been done since our last meeting, which was understandable because we all had first drafts for our contextualising side of the course- which meant that it was a nice meeting just to have a few hours of time out .
Saying this, we did continue to think about our project , and started to throw around a few ideas about final pieces- nothing set in concrete though. We first began by adapting the number one hundred and seventy five- thinking about creating one hundred and seventy-five somethings... bunting pieces to show the celebration of the coronation... patchwork pieces of a victorian dress... we weren't sure yet. We then thought about creating a garment- it would be difficult and test a lot of our abilities in the group, especially film students. A film was also an idea, something that I had never personally done before, but that wouldn't be an easy task. We were trying to think of something that we had all never done, so maybe photographs? Anyway, I felt that we were at least getting somewhere, and left feeling very positive that unit x was going to be a lot more enjoyable than anticipated in the first week.
