Proposal briefing

At the proposal briefing, I brought my proposal to brief my idea to the tutor group. I approached mine by saying it was about grief and loss, and that it was something I was personally going through. 

Liz read my proposal and agreed that it was a good time to undertake this project as it was one year after the losses. She said that a project like this is personal to the filmmaker, but also universal, as everyone will undergo grief at some point in their lives. 

I was recommended to look at the works of filmmaker Eliot Rausch, Liz's film "Look Up" about a similar experience, Mia Daniels's series on dementia and loss, and Craig Mammano's work on decline and loss in a mining town. 

We discussed the style of the images I planned to take and whether they would be documentary, studio, or location. 

It was also suggested to look at poetry relating to the topic that I may use as a narrative.

We decided that I should just start shooting and get moving in getting the images.
