Lecture - Contextual Research for Creative Practice

This lecture really got me thinking about how I would go about forming an idea for my project. Although I wrote notes on a small idea in the seminar, I don't want to work too deeply into this as it's just an initial idea, I know I will have other ideas but I feel at the moment I need more inspiration, something to give me a big push.

I learnt from this lecture that "practice does not exist in a vacuum", we need to experience things around us to be inspired to write. Starting with the context of the practice; is it based on tradition, technology, reality, the past or the future?

I realised when thinking about books and films I enjoy more realistic storylines. Therefore, I want to start picking up ideas from events and things happening around me. Sitting in this lecture actually made me think of past stories I have heard and situations I have been in that I could write about.

These are notes I made from the lecture, when I left the lecture I started to brainstorm.
