Today our class have been in the edit suites at uni, which is really good as it is crunch time with sorting out our footage and attempting to create our narrative for the final short documentary. I am really getting into the editing process and have been spending a lot of time in the edit suites this semester which is really good, considering I made it a goal at the beginning of the semester to better my skills in this department.

Louise’s friend from the media industry, Jenny, came in again today to give us feedback on our rough-cuts. I haven’t really got much of a rough-cut yet though. I’ve been focusing on getting my visual and audio synced and creating the introduction for the video. I think I’m just a little behind due to the mess around with my initial artist and having to switch at late notice. Jenny at least said that the intro I had made worked really well which was great. She also likes the aesthetic I created for the piece, as did Louise.

Today I have celebrated my 23rd birthday so I decided I would do something more adventurous than sticking to my uni timetable routine. Myself, Rob and our friend, James all went to TarraWarra museum of art where Spencer has a collaborative installation piece exhibited currently. I was able to take video footage (on the Canon 6D) of the work for my documentary which is great! I had never been to TarraWarra before, but I am so glad I went. Not only to see Spencer’s work, but to also see Healesville and the amazing scenery around the museum.

Louise has also emailed all of us today informing everyone of the final-leg group we will be in for this studio, between ‘social media’ and ‘presentation and video’. I have been selected to be part of the presentation day and video group. This is great, because I love getting sneak-peeks of people’s work as well as editing them together into a collaboration. I had a lot of fun with another student in semester 2 of year 1 editing our class footage together for an exhibition we held.
