As I informed everyone in the first studio of the year, I am one of the Queer Officers for the Queer Department for the RMIT Student Union. My role as a student representative entails that I represent, support, advocate and empower my collective and collective members.

My idea for the Project Three: A list of 100 concerns from the point of view of… assessment is to film short videos of the RMIT Student Union’s Queer Department’s Queer Lounge that is located in the RMIT city campus in Building 8, Level 3.

In the Friday studio, I brainstormed some ideas for my idea as Adrian talked, a bit rude I know but I had this massive surge of inspiration all of a sudden! I drew up nine storyboards. I don’t have the ability to draw like Leonardo but I tried my best to communicate what I would like to film.

Over the weekend, I brainstormed some more and came up with these:

These are the constraint for my video clips:

• Film for 5 seconds
• Film 2 of each “thing” (flexible)
• Film only parts of the objects, not whole
• No persons is to be in the Queer Lounge during the duration of filming
• Poetic and abstract
• Colours and bright – rainbow

Right now, I’m very confident about this assessment. Hopefully, I’ll do better than my last assessment.
