Group Tutorial with Robin and Eleanor

Today we had a group tutorial with Robin and Eleanor to discuss final plans for our film and any possible location ideas we had.

We all took along our larger knitting samples along with our film narrative and some drawings of the mound on a model for the film.

Robin and Eleanor really liked our idea for the film having a powerful narrative behind it and thought the arm knitting combined with the finger knitting would work really well. they also suggested sourcing some old knitted garments from charity shops to add more volume to the piece without it taking up hours of our time knitting. They also thought we could use wadding underneath the mound, as long as it wasn't too visible when we began to unravel it.

We then discussed our possible location ideas for the film. The window display in Fred Aldous was suggested, however we want people to be able to touch and feel some of the knit samples that will be on display, so we decided against that space. We all wanted a clean white space that we would be able to project the film into, along with installing the remains of the unravelled mound in the space. We decided to carry on researching through the provided list of venues as well as going to the northern quarter and looking around to see if we could find anything suitable.
