STORYTELLING

“I watched it all the time when I was younger and it brings back good memories.”

Some people mentioned films that they watched when they were children, naming them as their favourites because of the comfort and memories that are connected to the film. Film can often connect with us nostalgically, whether it is through the world or characters created or the fact that we watched it when we were younger. I think that considering the emotional connection and response that films have on us, it is important to highlight both old and new films, films from across the globe, and films made by or about lots of different people.

Many people said that their favourite film was well-written - they enjoyed the story, character development and plot twists. Good storytelling can draw us in to characters and their situations, and help us to understand our own place in the world. Stories can connect to our own emotional experience, provide new ways of seeing and bring people together. I’d like to bring this into my own work by designing not just a static space but a journey.
