This week is the last week for university this semester! We have definitely come a long way to ending this semester’s media studio – True To Form. This time, Paul had us to consult with him on our perspective projects individually. My consultation was on Tuesday this week.

I’ve shown Paul what I’ve been working on for the last few weeks leading up to this week and he also explained to me about a screening and media studio presentations for semester 2 that will happen around Week 14. Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to be present in any of them since I will not be in Melbourne after this week. So, I have decided to progress as much as possible around this week and use my time here in Melbourne as wisely as possible.

After showing Paul the two or three sequences I have been working on and the problems I have been experiencing, here are my notes and what he suggested I should do:

Notes on Week 12 Consultations:

• Transitional scenes – DOES NOT MATTER!
  • Quick transitions doesn’t have to connect with an action and another
  • As long as ‘angles’ are clearly presented as an ‘idea’ or main objective
• Audio
  • NO music!
  • Clear atmosphere sound of park
  • Record 1-minute audio recording of the park itself without irrelevant sounds.
    • Try to use that instead of, incorporating music
      • It will distract the intention of your idea to your audience
• Do another experiment – if possible
  • This time try another location or spot in the park
    • Maintain your idea but use ‘location’ as your focus this time
      • It may be another interesting aspect that might extend your idea further
        • Why not sitting on the grass this time?
