Response

mengfeisheng — 2021-04-21 03:07:16 UTC

Step one: Win
1. There are many aspects of ideas Amanda Strong tries to communicate in her animation, we have to pick one or two aspects and respond.

Famliy Stories
Hidden History
Colonization

2. How should we respond to her animation?

Visual storytelling
Narrative Perspective (Contextualization ?)
Combining the indigenous music theme into the response

3. Culturally Understanding

4. Create a framework of what our response is going to look like.
Format, themes

Start from our own individual perspectives/disciplines.

Ideas Week 8

2021-04-27 04:25:10 UTC

-European heritage having and how that had an impact on indigenous stories/experiences. Discomfort, guilt, shiver up the spine.
-4 parts, each telling our individual creative stories and influences and how we all ended up here at QUT
-Telling one story with multiple different parts/times
-Retell the story of our history. Hidden history. Juxtaposition. Show the two different sides of history, what we're told and what we come to learn.
- The journey of how we learned of the atrocities of our cultures past.
-Music, light happiness transitioning into a dark mood

Things to do

henrysweasey — 2021-05-04 04:17:01 UTC

Script - Ainsley
Animation - Fei & Henry
music - Cooper

SCRIPT
- this will be a voiceover on the animation video and will compliment what is on screen. Writing a rough outline of some ideas that will be addressed will assist in the construction of animation foundations. Then we can build it up together.
- Needs to accommodate room for us all to write our own personal pieces, so don't stress about what you don't know
- absolute no need to be anything close to professional at this point. Even dot points would be fine so we can figure out a final structure together
*NEW idea - We're going to talk about the Australian curriculum in terms of how it lacks truth and empathy towards the First Nations people that were murdered, taken away from their families, and ripped from their languages, traditions, cultures and identities. SPECIFICALLY, we will discuss our lack of awareness while in primary, middle and high school. We will use real evidence as well as our own experiences to say what we want to say.

MUSIC
- look man this really up to you. You know what you're doing more than we do.
- try coming up with some vague ideas that kinda flow together into something cohesive and work together with the animation aspect later on to sync up. It'll be sweet trust me <3

ANIMATION/STOP MOTION
- We should probably throw together some loosely connected storyboard images. Like what we've already got (Thank you Fei!) to give us all an indication of how this thing is gonna turn out.
- Adding in time stamps will help Ainsley with writing a script
- Once we've got a really solid plan of what we need to create, we'll try coming into uni one day together to start making the stop motion. We can book out a room in the library or something and get books and paper and whatever we need. I know a book shop to get really old and awesome looking books for next to nothing.

So these quotes are very basic ideas for what we can get into with our video, maybe. It's definitely not in script format or anything like that. I've been looking at some PDF reports and news articles. I've also written some questions that you guys can answer if you want, so I have an idea of how to structure the script in terms of content. I'm kindaaa struggling tho so if you guys could give some structured answers and ideas to the table, I can definitely get this done quicker :))

mengfeisheng — 2021-05-11 04:36:42 UTC

culture safty
general ideas
Talk about the system itself insteaad of the history part

Script kinda i guess

2021-05-18 01:39:17 UTC

okay so I was thinking we could split the narration with two people, I'm happy to be one of them. Also ya'll are gonna need to decide which speaker you wanna be and start writing a few sentences about your experiences i guess.

Vocal Delivery

flickjam — 2021-05-18 04:56:06 UTC

I had an idea, what we make it the narrator sound like an inspirational voice of a kind like Alan Watts. Or we could even incorporate rhythm into the speech as well.
Listen to his voice

Henry paragraph -
Growing up in a catholic primary school in white suburban Brisbane I had a pretty sheltered learning experience. Lots of things that I should have been taught were just ignored. Including our countries gruesome past. In primary school we spent probably a whole semester learning about Captain Cook and the first fleet and how they were “heroes” who came and “discovered” this land. My experience as the child of British immigrants was that I was really only told history that painted the coloniser’s in a positive light. And for a long time, I really drew on that British heritage of mine as a major part of my identity, and I took pride in that. It really wasn’t until high school when I started learning about the stolen generation and the absolute massacres that took place when that pride started to waiver and eventually crumble. Now every time I hear a story or just a mention of the horrors the Indigenous Australian people faced, I feel an instinctive shiver of guilt that goes up my spine. I know I nor my family is directly responsible, but I know that I will always be connected to the people who are.

My verse thing - should be around 57 seconds ~ Ains :))

2021-05-19 02:19:30 UTC

In primary school, I grew up in Southeast Queensland, and experienced the rare occasion of learning Australian history. The catch, however, was that it was about Captain Cook. My teachers left out the meat and bones of Australia’s colonisation. Captain Cook arrived and then apparently civilised Australia just conveniently existed after that.

In high school, I grew up in the NT, and despite absorbing multiple fragments of history, from Ancient Egypt to The Russian Revolution and more, I never once, in those six years, studied Australian history as a compulsorily segment of the curriculum. Therefore, I’ve had to educate myself on many historical contexts concerning colonial Australia since.

Being an Australian-born citizen myself, I believe that no matter how ‘over-crowed’ the curriculum apparently is, there is no excuse for calculatedly repressing the reality and accuracy of historical contexts in relation to colonial Australia from its citizens.

ending i guess

The lack of progressive attitudes across the country and in Parliament fosters the insecurities and ignorance lingering within the nation’s education departments, and amongst our Anglo-political and socio-economic perspectives. This further promotes the evidently defective education system that is failing thousands of Australians every year.

“It’s an issue that goes directly to the heart of the inability of the nation to come to terms with a history which they aren’t willing to own” (Kevin Lowe)

Cooper Paragraph

flickjam — 2021-05-19 03:55:18 UTC

My primary school education was a great period In my life when I spent time developing my passions and knowledge which make me who I am now. I remember learning about Moreton Bay which I call home and how the different islands served as colonies for the first white settlers. I got to visit St Helena Island and learn its history as a prison for very serious criminals. It’s only now that I learn the islands true indigenous name Noogoon which the Nooghies tribe called home. It’s only now that I learn the island was named after an aboriginal man who was exiled there. We learnt of Matthew Flinders touching down at Coochiemudlo Island opening up the bay to convicts, soldiers and free settlers. It’s only now that I learn the struggles the Nooghie, Noonuccal, Goenpul and Quandamooka tribes faced and how their culture, traditional lands and hunting grounds progressively dissolved. It’s only now that I learn about the massacres, lack of respect and the exploitation by the various institutions through forced labour. It’s only now that I learn about the decades of deadly conflict between European settlers and Indigenous tribes and how aboriginals starving for food were rounded up and shot for trying to survive.

There are many aspects of Australian history that are silenced, hidden, or outright disowned by people of all kinds, particularly by political and authoritative figures, and although our experiences as Australian students may contrast, ultimately, they validate a deeper-rooted problem that continues to plague this nation.

“One of the first actions of [Australia] was to establish a system of public education in which the patriotism of future citizens would be inculcated through history lessons.” (Stuart Macintyre)

“Australian history teachers want to cover the history of massacres against Indigenous people during the colonial era but are squeezed for time in an already overcrowded curriculum” (The Guardian)

Uhhhh so after we saw one of the other group's work, this is kinda what I thought of for ours maybe. Rn i feel like ours is more of a rant than a response. Idk but I can definitely do some library shots plus we can film some stuff next week and edit it. I like the idea of utilising colour too, since the library's pretty colourful. The music could be maybe just soft and atmospheric.
