Group Project Update: Week 4

This week we started going into the edit suites. So far Samantha and I have been chipping away at the 2.5 hour long interview we had trying to find something to use. Most of it is incredibly abstract, and to me doesn’t seem to fit at all, but Samantha seems to find some merit in it, wanting to create not just a portrait of Melbourne but a portrait of the person as well. Let’s hope we can find an interesting blend of the two somewhere.

I also sourced more found footage. Here are some examples of the awesome things I found this week in my further explorations:

Christmas Island, August 29, 2001. Handout picture of some of the 438 asylum seekers onboard the Norwegian cargo ship MS Tampa on Monday 27th August, 2001. The boat people where rescued from their sinking ferry in international waters and remain onboard the ship which is anchored off Christmas Island. Australia refused the boat permission to enter Australia's waters and Indonesia has since taken a similar stance. (AAP Image/Wallenius Wilhelmsen)

I’m really excited to see how all of this comes together into the one documentary.
