All of the creative processes I used during this exercise allowed
me to see my artifact from a different point of view. I looked at the
functionality of the parts by drawing out each one as a separate entity, and the
tweet allowed me to look at the socio-cultural aspects of the Harley Davidson
brand. However, the one that I consider the most valuable is the haiku. I
wrote:
“Midnight
black and sleek,
A flight through the city lights,
Freedom
awaits you.”
For me this form of creative expression allows me to look at
my artifact in a more abstract way, which will help make the overall film
become more than a surface level exploration. By truly examining the essence of
the motorcycle I can develop deeper connections with it and it’s consumers.
Right now I already know a lot of the facts surrounding the motorcycle, and the
history that accompanies the brand Harley Davidson. However, since I myself
have never driven a Harley I cannot fully grasp the feeling a rider gets when
racing down the road. This haiku allows me to tap into the minds of the
actually drivers themselves by trying to capture the sensation of riding
through downtown. I myself have ridden on the motorcycle artifact I have
chosen, and although my experience is similar, it is not the same as being the
one in control.
Creative expressions of reality are the most helpful for me
to being to grasp a difficult concept, or to put substance and soul into an
inanimate object. I believe this exploration will help me visualize some
creative shots for the movie. In order to move the film beyond an informational
piece to a more sensory experience, I must take in to account the intangible
characteristics of motorcycle riders and the bikes they drive.
