EYES of a Storyteller is the blog/portfolio that I created to chronicle and reflect on the development of the entirety of my EYES web series project, which was the creative enterprise project/practical dissertation for my BA (Hons).
After I abandoned building a separate website to host the primary web series project elements, the blog also ended up becoming the main portfolio for the overall project.
The overall EYES project is comprised of...
- A Series Bible document that provides an overview for the EYES web series concept proposal. It details the story-world rules, storylines, characters, target audience, format, thematic focus and artistic/film formulaic style.
- A Pilot Episode (Episode One: "Search Me") that is a seven-minute introductory episode that establishes the form, tone, story and main characters of the EYES web series story-world. Ultimately, the pilot is an expression of the dramatic, surrealistic and cognitive ideas detailed in the Series Bible.
- A Planning Portfolio document that is an 11,000 word detailed overview of the research, planning and administration I conducted for the project.
- EYES of a Storyteller is the blog/portfolio that I have been using to chronicle and reflect on the development of the entirety of the EYES project; as well as hosting the plethora of materials generated for the project.
Also included are details about two additional primary elements that were abandoned due to lack of time...
- A Mock-Up Trailer that would have served as a selling pitch and vision (just like the pilot episode) for season 1 of the web series.
- An original Video-Centric Website that would have hosted the portfolio, with the EYES of a Storyteller blog only serving as an adjunct.
Additionally the blog includes...
- Vlog posts about the development of EYES
- Project specific update posts
- Project specific reflection posts
- General creative practice posts
- General inspiration posts
- Film, filmmaking and storytelling posts
I created the EYES of a Storyteller blog in October of 2012 and kept it running for the entirety of the EYES project. I finally brought the EYES project and the blog to a close in October of 2013.
I put Something to do with Film on pause while I made EYES of a Storyteller my main blog.
As much as EYES of a Storyteller is a blog and portfolio in its own right, it is also an adjunct to Something to do with Film.
Essentially, EYES of a Storyteller is the lost 2012-13 year of Something to do with Film.
