GOAL
We have decided to create a video compilation by asking our student friends to send us short clips of their routines and juxtaposing it with our own daily taks and activities.With the use of this compilation, we want to do show how similar if not almost identical most students’ daily routines are.We want to show how easily we are losing meaning in what we do. Tasks are more and more performed out of habit rather than purpose, which can be compared to robots or machines that have been programmed to perform and not think. Our goal is for students or anyone to reflect on their repetitive routines that have in some way defined and framed us since we were born. Our routines have changed with time but the fact remains that we cannot seem to find a balance and this is an issue most of us have yet to resolve.
In order to translate the idea of order and predictability, we
chose to divide our video into different categories as would any normal day of a student. The categories include morning tasks, means of transportation, tasks performed at school, activities carried out after classes and finally end-of-day tasks. We have also decided to emphisize on repetition by compiling the same activities performed by different students side by side at certain moments in the videos while other parts show variations of tasks. Also, we added text at both the beginning and end of the video that simply states the obvious, which is that everything we do is repeated purposely or unconsciously everyday.
