Assignment #2 Artistic & practice-led research question
Think about your own thesis as a whole: it consists of artistic work or film practice and the written part.
Ideally these two connect. The thesis is an opportunity to reflect forms, methods, conventions, ways things are done, how film as an industry functions.
Try to detect an artistic or practice-related research question that relates to your own work, your professional identity, skills, experience as a practitioner etc. Be particular. You cannot write about everything you make or what your professional experience relates to. Try to detect something that inspires you, something you want to understand more about.
What kind of conventions of film practice your question relates to?
Is there something you want to change, make differently, challenge?
This can be a really short thought exercise. The "holy triangle" in the Monday slides can be used. Try to find yourself in the middle of the triangle. The process will continue, so don't worry if the idea is not clear yet!
We enter these questions as makers, otherwise we will get lost in the Ocean of theory! The artist's and maker's questions are the ones that anchor us in that Ocean.
