1. Photoshoot
Randomly saw this pic on Instagram and would really want to do something similar. 

I have always wanted to do something about fashion and styling. I am thinking of doing a fashion photoshoot that uses film camera. I want it to be taken place in a really remote open space. 

concept
It interests me how humans are living as tiny souls in the mundane. Each of us has our uniqueness and that we are all individuals. However, living as an individual in the crowd might somehow lead to the feeling of loneliness. Solitude is something that each of us would experience throughout our lives and that taking the photos in this remote place would definitely strengthen the sense of desolation. 

2. branding 
- bringing young creatives together 

This is what I have been wanting to do and my ultimate goal in my future career. In PPP the practitioner that I did interview on is exactly doing this and I feel like I can actually start to work out on it. However, it is going to consume a lot of time and effort. I do not think it is appropriate to do this for the task of the week. Maybe for the 10 briefs in level6, I will be definitely work it out. 

3. films inspired (colours, movements, tones) 
- wongkarwai
- wes anderson 
- film 少年的你

Wong kar wai has been my favourite film director. His films contain high quality of visual effects. The way how he makes use of the environment and camera movements to express emotions and feelings is impressive. I would really love to do something about his film aesthetics. However, this might be to make to start off as a brief. 

4. HOUSE 6 CALENDER

We talked about the calendar that my housemate is using and thought of the idea of making our own calendar. The custom made calendar for our house. I used google doc to jot down notes that we talked about. I am pretty excited about the collab cause this house has been my comfort zone and I thought that making a calendar for us would me a really warm and sweet thing to do. Especially when we have 4 art students here in the house, it would be really interesting if we do a collab.
