Narrative - Group Project

SO! Day 1 and it's straight to work! We have been giver our first project, Narrative - Group work, in which we have to create and animated short, which also is a form of advertisement.

We were split into groups and one person from each group chose two cards at random, our chosen cards read .

UNDER THE SEA 

and

 IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT. 

Two quite interesting combinations, so together as a team, we decided to set off separately first and thing of at least three possible outcomes of this.

I first decided to look at the meaning behind the phrase "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".I found a video on the phrase which spells it out very easily.

My first initial idea was with Hermit Crabs, the second to do with a Fish Tank (Marine) and the third to do with the BP oil spill and bringing the idea of a "?" after the phrase.

The BP idea came from a video I once saw about Lego working along side Shell, if we all realised the change it is doing to our environment, will we change it? well, no, especially if we don't know it's broken. so it's bringing a different twist to the phrase. "If it ain't broken, don't fix it? Why not?"
