The first studio after coming back from the break involved us planning for next few weeks leading up to this time, week 12 – our final submission for our also final project brief, Project Brief #4.

Paul gave us a few pieces of A4 paper and told us to write some of our plans from Week 8 until Week 12. Some of the things I wrote incorporated several aims for my ‘series of experiments’ project for PB#4. Here is a glimpse of what I wrote:

• Testing out camera equipment – AV Loans
  • Canon 5d Mark IV – DSLR
