Notes from the first diploma project review

These are few notes from the first diploma project review.

FIRST DIPLOMA PROJECT REVIEW
13.July.2010

1. The project is too broad. Should narrow it down.
2. Finalize on project - an illustrated book/journal.

Different options:

* If i focus on life experiences. they should not be only incidents - but stories or written in a story form - (worth reading and illustrating). What will interest others and not only the family?
* It could be one story/event that lead to different events or different versions of one story.
* Stories about the Naga movement and the leaders.
* An illustrated book on folklore. My grandmas versions.

What are the stories that my grandma has told or has heard that brings the family together.

3. Style of writing?
If life stories - to link them all together. There should be a narrative structure.

4. Time management.

5. Don't let your feelings come in the way.

6. Record as many stories and folklores and from all the information collected filter the best ones.
Talk to other people, they will have more to add. Some may have different versions of one incident.

7. What visual/illustrative style? Must also work on a style while recording these stories.
