Weekly Update 4

Any amateur film maker knows how to plan and make their own film, but there’s a newfound challenge in running a professional film set. So, our week 4 was basically dedicated to learning and understanding how a set operates, and how each role works. In…

The Second Set of Homework

https://drive.google.com/a/rmit.edu.au/file/d/0BzsJ1KwHFXRTS1hYUUdJUnUta2c/view?usp=sharing The reason I chose this video is because I actually didn’t like it. Instead of talking about what I was trying to do with it, instead, I’m going to talk about what was wrong with it. So, basically, the instruction was to make a…

Explaining the Joke

I know that explaining the joke kills it, but sometimes you have to break it down to understand how it works. In this case, I’ll be breaking down the Endless Running scene from Monty Python’s The Holy Grail. So for those who actually want to…

In approaching this task, I wanted to explore the idea of Old Media as an aesthetic, focusing mainly on the 70s to 80s eras. In doing this, our aim as a group was to create a ten-minute video that would simulate the nostalgic feeling you…

Work in Progress

Now that we’re well and truly into this last assignment, I’ll just leave a quick update here on how we’re going. So, I’m in a group with Cody Nelson, and Jeremy Costa (but we call him Bryan), and our aim is to make a satirical…

Just a Recap

So, as we approach the last Project Brief of the semester, I thought I’d just do a quick recap of where I’m at this semester. I’m in the Old’s Cool studio with Dan Binns, in which we explore and learn about old media principles and…
