This reading was an extract from Keith Sawyer’s Group Genius: The creative power of collaboration (2007). While reading this text, I was curious about the accuracy of Sawyer’s research. (But then again, I’m always trying to doubt what other people say because I’m very stubborn)….

Receiving feedback about your work isn’t always the most exciting part about sharing, but if you want to improve, it’s essential. It was interesting to hear what other people interpreted about my project brief 3. And while I did want to say “that was completely…

After we watched each others project briefs, we were split off into groups to discuss and reflect on what we thought about our assignments. The following is a summary of what we discussed. We all mutually agreed that we liked the way that the lighting…

Don’t mind me, just catching up on a few blog posts. So, last week, the reading was all about non-narrative documentary. Now, I’ll be honest, I was never really a fan of the whole documentary scene, so I was completely unaware of its ability to…

A couple of weeks ago, I finally watched Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel. I had this movie built up in my head from what other people had told me, and I was not disappointed. It was a quirky and childish movie, but also had…

This is where I put it all together. There is just something so satisfying about editing. It’s kind of like putting a puzzle together. When all the pieces are scattered, I feel so uncomfortable and disorganized. But once I’ve got a working, flowing video, it…
