Studio Brief

Produce a body of work that investigates the term/concept/value/number 100 by collecting, recording, documenting and categorising. You will prepare a two min presentation on this body of work..

Background / Considerations

Identify a specific content in relation to your theme that will become your individual focus for this brief.  You must collect the following: 20 FACTS 20 OPINIONS 20 WORDS 20 STATISTICS 20 PHOTOGRAPHS You can collect in excess of 20 pieces of information if appropriate. How do you translate, manipulate and process your information within the context of “100”? Content for work can often stem from your own interests, passions, obsessions and opinions. It is recognition of and an investigation into these personal concerns that help you to develop an individual voice within the creative industry. Tone of voice You are collecting and recording a range of observations, ideas, scenarios and interests. Have a camera with you at all times and don’t pre-judge the type of images that might be useful. Take a surplus of photographs and collection additional information then edit it down later. The more choices you have the easier it will be to make discoveries, analyse, evaluate and create connections.

Mandatory Requirements

Research- Demonstrating an application of a range of appropriate and inventive approaches to collecting, organising and responding to primary and secondary source material. Worksheets/Notebooks/Test Pieces- Demonstrate an ongoing visual, practical and conceptual investigation. Design development and process driven research, material and media including their appropriate application. Blog Entries- Demonstrating the critical evaluation of contextual references and contemporary design practice appropriate to the project. Your subject matter, work and presentation must be interesting and engaging to both you and your audience. .

Deliverables

A quantity of good quality research that demonstrates an appropriately broad range of approaches to visual and conceptual enquiry. 20 FACTS 20 OPINIONS 20 WORDS 20 STATISTICS 20 PHOTOGRAPHS A two min presentation. For this brief we were told that we had to decide on what the topic of which we would base our whole research around. We were set to task in looking at the options of which we could choose for the topic and at the end of the first week take our ideas into a crit in which we would pitch out ideas to a group of our peers and from the feedback we would decide which idea we were going to take into this research unit. From the first crit the group consensus was that I should take one idea forward, this idea was to base my research on my favourite skate films of all time. The whole unit it to revolve around the number 100, this is  based around the five areas of information of which totals together to total 100 pieces of information, to further this relation to 100 I decided to base my research around my favourite 100 skate videos of all time. Firstly I had to compile a list of my favourite 100 skate videos and after hours and hours of watching and re-watching skate videos and finally came up with my list of videos and here it is; Girl    Mouse Toy Machine  Welcome To Hell Transworld    Modus Operandi Blind    Video Days Plan B   Questionable Birdhouse  The End Baker    Baker 2G Alien Workshop  Memory Screen Alien Workshop  Photosynthesis Flip    Sorry Girl    Yeah Right Habitat   Mosaic Enjoi    Bag Of Suck Lakai    Fully Flared Alien Workshop  Mind Field Emerica  Stay Gold Girl       Pretty Sweet Zero    Cold War Habitat  Inhabitants­­ Nike SB  Debacle Sebastian Linda   Journey Of The Beasts Supreme  Cherry Supreme  A Love Supreme Supreme  London Habitat  Search The Horizon  Atlas and Habitat  Cross Continental Habitat   Austyn Unlimited Habitat  Origin Habitat  Regal Road Plan B    True Enjoi    Oververt Deathwish  The Deathwish Video Cliché    Bon Voyage Santa Cruz  Wheels Of Fire Krooked  Krook3D Heroin  Video Nasty Deli Status  Street Edit Deli Status  SKWUAHD Berrics                     Battle At The Berrics 8: Pro’s Vs Joe’s Deli Status  LOKUL Bastien Salabanzi  The Lost Part Thrasher   King Of The Road 2014 Cahartt  Phil Zwijsen’s Time Chase Phil Zwijsen  Hydroplane Madars Apse  Latvian Living Pt.1 Madars Apse  Latvian Living Pt.2 Bru-Ray  Bowlmar Bru-Ray  Crash and Burn Bru-Ray  Copenhagen Secret Session Nike    Lord Of The Pies Flip    3 Nyjah Huston  OG Edit David Gonzles  Training Day Chris Joslin  Magnified Wes Kremer  Firing Line Zero    NO CA$H VALUE Gou Miyagi  Video Nasty Russel Houghten  Redirect-Urban Isolation In Transition  Daewon Song In Transition  Greyson Fletcher Madars Apse  Subject Madars Shane O’Neil  New Years Resolution Tommy Sandoval  Battle Commander Sebo Walker  Recruit Daewon Song   2up Felipe Gustavo  Run And Gun New Balance  The Second Narrows Jerome Campbell  Lightworks!

Firstly for the opinions section I gave a group of my skate friends a list of the 100 skate videos and asked them for there input on the videos and asked them questions about said videos to spark there answers, the own answers were left completely up to themselves. Secondly I has to obtain facts and I did this by researching the internet and the articles for said skate videos for general skateboarding related facts and also fact related to the videos I had chosen. Thirdly I had to obtain statistics yet again I used the internet and read the related articles to obtain statistic on skateboarding in general and statistics about the videos. Penultimately I had to obtain a list of 20 words related to skate boarding, instead of picking these myself I decided that I would get these from the skateboarder friends too I did this by asking them one simple question "Describe what skate boarding means to you in one word?" and from their answers I took my information and finally for the picture I obtained the advertising material for the videos. This information was then put into a form of presentation of my choice of which I chose appropriate for a two minute presentation and I decided that I believed that using a powerpoint to hold the whole content of my research and to read out when presenting the piece of information of which I viewed as the most important. Below are screenshots of the slides from my presentation to show how I presented It and to show the content of my research.
