This is my beautifully colourful and messy learning graph, which is almost as messy as myself. Posts of note are hyperlinked on certain words – should appear as light blue, just click the words and be amazed by yours truly. Well, that’s one semester down, five more to go. It went so quickly that, at […]

In our last workshop we went over the last of what we needed to know for PB4 and our final reflection. I spent some time doing the learning graph and then found this super cool scanner in the building that just easily sent it to my email address. Then I spent some time finishing off […]

But I also hated black and white films as a kid, which I now love. Nowadays I’m fascinated by documentaries, as they can the viewer things that the audience […]

I was not well so I had to email Brian saying that I couldn’t make the workshop for today. Luckily Margaret, who’s always on the ball and ready to go was there and able to get some feedback for our Audio essay. – move underpants interview to the front – exemplary textual snippet – more […]

So on Friday I’m starting my ABC production internship from 10am-6pm, I’m not sure what my role will involve but I look forward to getting involved, especially with a channel that I grew up watching. This is exciting yet nerve-wracking, as I wasn’t expecting to be able to start until July. I was set to […]
