I finally finished editing my groups rough cut for the PB4 Audio essay that we have to show in class tomorrow. The final essay has to be five minutes, we’re currently sitting on almost 9 and I have no idea how we’ll cut it down without losing integral arguments and evidence. I feel like our […]

Paul Richard came and gave us a bit of information about work attachments, it was interesting to hear about as I’m already looking for as many as I can. They mentioned the ABC repeatedly and that stressed me out because I don’t need anymore competition when trying to negotiate my dates with them. Medium theory […]

In our lectorials the idea of noticing has been a recurring concept throughout this semester and I’ve understood it on the level of noticing the media around me such as advertisements, trailers etc. But I hadn’t really deeply thought about it until today, when I read the entire book ‘Everything Leads To You‘ by Nina Lacour. This […]

Realising that it’s week 11 already and I’ve been seriously letting my blogging slip, three assessments are due soon, two of which are group projects and therefore I cannot procrastinate on and  that I’m starting three shows this week that film until late at night. I also am trying to gather information and create a […]

In today’s workshop Brian discussed what the email from Rachel meant about the studio session and what to expect from it. He told us about the ballot process and what to do if we couldn’t make the day. I’m excited to go to the information session as I’ve spoken to some second and third years […]

These institutions are companies such as Facebook, Apple, ABC etc, who have huge power over the production of technology and media within todays society. Through this they wield great power and control over the general population which is sort of […]

In the first lectorial Brian brought up the idea that you can never go home again…I thought I understood that concept before, but now I can feel it profoundly. This weekend I travelled home to Newcastle, NSW because I felt so burnt out and tired of Melbourne and the grind that it brings. I was […]

I had to miss this weeks workshop because I was working so much this week that all the stress and overload of assessments due was making me sick.  

In this lectorial we talked about copyright which is always so exciting and never a totally depressing time (heavy sarcasm detected). I know so many kickass songs that I want to put in the videos I make, but they’re always copyrighted and I have no money for this royalty business. I actually wrote an initiative […]

This week’s chapter focused on the idea of film style and how that intersects with film form. It’s interesting to understand every possible choice that filmmakers make in order to push forward the narrative they want to tell and film style has a huge part in this. I think that’s why this was one of […]
