Today we had our first lecture of year 3, in this lecture we were allocated to a new brief. We will be working in a group however we will all be creating our own outcomes with a different approach. As a group, we were allocated to a brief called ‘Family Fun, Sport Cardiff’. When I read the brief I found it very interesting as it focuses on families living in poverty trying to encourage them to do psychical exercise which will benefit their health. I will be exploring the brief later on in more depth but we had a workshop which Wendy assigned us too. The workshop is 6 frames, we did something similar to this last year on a our brief. The 6 frames workshop consists of using different thinking stragtegies to undertstand something. The second part of the day we were told to work in our teams allocate who will be researcing each frame and then do a presentation on friday.
6 Frame Workshop
Purpose – What information do we have?What information do we need? Where do we need to look for this information? What information do people need? Why do people need this information? Where do they need to look for it?
Purpose is all about understanding the information giving to you and analysing who it is for and which parts are essential to you. I was allocated to Purpose frame which means I will be analysing the brief to find the asnwers to those wuestions above. One ofthe advantages of out brief it it gives us so much background information about the families in poverty, there are a lot of statistics figures and also general information about health.
Accuracy Positive Authority – Where has this information come from? Whose voice does it represent? What other voices to do we need?
Point of View Perspective and Bias – Whose point of view is it representing? Whose point of view is it missing? Example – Me too movement on Twitter, women across the world was sharing their experiences using the hashtag #metoo. This allowed millions of different point of views to come together into one hashtag. http://metoomentum.com/
Interest Surprise and knowledge – What surprised you? What did you already know? How could this be communicated?
Value Opportunities – What is the most valuable information? What are the weaknesses in the information? What gaps are there? How could you adress the gaps?
Outcomes – Thinking about different ways to approach the brief and what kind of outcomes can we achieve.
I think the workshop was quite confusing as some questions are hard to relate back to the brief or find a clear answer. In addition, I think there was lack of communication in some areas as we didn’t know whether we were suppose to all answer these question or have one frame each.
