Meeting #3 - 25.10

Present:
  • Adriana,
  • Andrej
  • David(sick)
  • Eoin
Another Thursday meeting. This time, we didn't have an agenda to work off, so it was a lot more creative - it was something we needed. After feedback from Sinead and Mark, we decided to stick with the idea. After all, how many times can we change it? It won't get any better.
So,  Andrej proposed to make a one-page website and create few short(15-20seconds) clips of the small ideas we had. We thought this is a great idea as it will let us experiment on a smaller scale and learn editing and cutting now, on small projects, rather than on the final piece.

The ideas we came up with:

  • Guy in a coffee shop with his phone and earphones has no idea that there is a war going on behind him. [Phone takes up our whole attention]
  • Guy walks down the street, proud of his camera's lens, but another one shows up with longer one. [We feel like we are measured and judged by our technology]
  • Girl goes to a gym only to take photos for her instagram, and then leaves. [People lie on social media]
  • Parents fighting and a child tries to repair the connection. 
  • Difference between connection today and before. - Sending text compared to letters. 
  • Guy is silent in a class, driving home, parents are talking to him, he doesn't hear or care. He gets back home, turns on his device and the world regains it's colors and sound.

Research - 1950 - 2000

Communication: 1950: No internet with online shopping and knowledge, no text messaging, no skype, how did they manage to talk to friends and family in the 1950's? Letters.  Telephone - Was available, but very few people had it in 1950. To make any call you had to go through the Operator at the local Exchange. Most phone numbers were just 3 digits, so you'd pick up the phone, wait for the Operator to say "Good morning, number please" and reply with whatever, such as Tonbridge 387. At first the phones were of Bakelite, very heavy but thankfully very loud, you'd not miss a call unless you lived in an enormous house. These were replaced with Plastic phones , but one thing for years seem to remain common place - the cord which after time became coiled up. This led to the inevitable answering of the call and pulling the telephone of the table. (Source) 1960: Subscriber trunk dialling (STD) was introduced in the mid-1960s, allowing people t...

Connected but disconnected generation script draft

Camera pans across a vr headset, Cut to the main characters eyes waking from his sleep, John gets up from his bed brushes the sleep from his eyes and slowly walks throughout his house, John gathers himself and makes his way downstairs he is dressed in a shirt a tie and black pants, Camera pans as he walks into his kitchen he proceeds to make coffee and breakfast, the whole time he is glued to his phone screen. John begins to pour his coffee completely missing the cup he burns his own hand, Camera cuts to John leaving his home, filler shots of John walking throughout his neighborhood the whole time glued to his phone, John Enters his local pub and is met with two options, Camera switches to his perspective, A group of lads sitting at a table wave him over,  John being antisocial feels awkward and decides to sit alone at a booth, He proceeds to sit on his phone, The bar for socializing decreases and johns phone instantly runs out of battery, John looks arou...
