Self Inventory Exercise

This exercise involved reviewing my own experiences, breaking them down into groups and seeing how these experiences can influence my creative work. This exercise was helpful and interesting as it made me see how most creative work always has a personal edge to it. An idea evolves from an experience, which can be a memory, something you saw or heard that affected you in a certain way. For example in the first year of my course I made a one minute narrative about camping. This idea came from one of my first experiences of camping. I experienced this at a later stage however my film was about how exciting your first camp is even if it is just in your garden, as it was for the character in my film.
