Class notes that began today:

WHERE WE HAVE BEEN

• lists (of things, of questions and responses, of media) as a
• thinking and making in ways to recognise the interdependency, complexity, and nonhumanness of the world
• what is the difference between thinking what things do/are versus what they mean?



WHERE WE ARE GOING

• a completed media work that thinks about about a thing 
• a completed media work that is not narrative
• a completed media work that describes what some thing does and in describing what it does it does a better job of accounting for what it is then trying to tell us what it means
• an essay that addresses the media work and ontography

THIS WEEK
To get to where we are going we need to lay out all that you need to do and think

• begin writing your script. This ‘script’ you can think of as an essay, but not a traditional essay. For example you should use the same strategies we have used for the readings, collect quotes that confuse, beguile, pique your curiosity, intrigue. Quote them and write about them conversationally. The writing should be fragmentary,  it will be closer to a blog. Considered, informal, intelligent, essayist. 
• do you need to reshoot your footage? do you need to shoot more footage?
• identify a contextualising quote that you are thinking with or about in your film
• should your film be linear? A spatial montage? Multilinear? A gallery?
• start editing your material
• find more reading around your contextualising quote or problem
