LBM Project 6- 'Freedom and Liberty' Week 1

Day 1-

We had an introduction to the project and then watched ‘The Naked Rambler’ which was a film about a man who decided to walk the length of Britain completely naked in order to promote some sort of freedom. It explores the floors in his thinking and makes us question what our perception of freedom is and whether he was wrong or right to do what he did.

Day 2-

I found this amazing game the other day called ‘Broken Age’, the themes it explored seemed very relevant to this project. It explored two parallel worlds where the two main characters are sheltered from the truth and are given a sense of false freedom- everything appears to be fine and dandy but behind the mask is a darker truth. The game, or more like interactive story, follows the characters as they discover true freedom. I want to convey the same theme in my work.


Day 3-

I talked about the Broken Age research in the initial crit- Chris thought it was a great starting point but he challenged me to ask the question of what the dark truth or the monster is in my story I want to tell. Broken age had a very clear (at least on face value) monster in it, I just needed to identify what that would be in my work.
