The Five Obstructions

  1. I believe Jorgen handled the obstructions in a successful way. I believe that he was successful, because he was very thoughtful and creative in every way he approached the restrictions. He definitely made them his own.
  2. I believe that the obstructions can be helpful in making creative work as well as be stumbling blocks. I know that from experience, when Liam gives us "obstructions" or guidelines, it makes you come up with a creative work. On the other hand, I believe that it could be limiting yourself too much for being as creative as you want to be.
  3. This film can help me make my own work in a lot of ways. To start, we were given a prompt from a randomized list on a website. From the get-go we were limited to what we were given. I believe that we can use obstructions to challenge ourselves and ask ourselves how "complete" our finished project is. Is it working well? If not, let's go back and add some restrictions to make it more interesting and less conventional.
