This unit has a choice of multiple pathways in 3 different directions.
- Independent Interdisciplinary Project
- Immersive Sound Design for VR and AR
- Accessible Instrument Design
My Initial Response
I feel excited and pleased to be introduced to a new unit with a huge scope and freedom for creativity to exceed. Working collaboratively is a brilliant opportunity to practice my ability to network with other creators building relationships and connections in the creative art industry however, working collaboratively scares me as my degree is at risk of relying on others. The saying goes high risks, high rewards therefore I am aware that this fear is also a strength as working collaboratively can excel in my work beyond working solo. With careful consideration and some luck, I am hopeful to be a part of a creative team that excels and creates magic.
My Choice of Pathway
I am in favour of the ‘Independent Interdisciplinary Project’ pathway. I am excited by the freedom to expand the possibilities with whom I can collaborate. I understand this option can be seen as ‘harder’ because I will have to be self-reliant in finding a team to be a part of and collaborate with however I am up for the challenge. The other two pathways require skillsets in a more practical approach to design and coding which I do not find motivating in my practice.
Conclusion
I am excited about building my portfolio and my practice around sound for screen-based material working in a collaborating process. Designing/engineering sound for the entertainment/film industry would be a dream come true therefore my challenge/mission is to find screen-based material needing my expertise in creating sound.
