This brief is quickly turning into a dog’s breakfast and I honestly cannot wait for it to be over. Following on from my previous blog post, I have now not only struggled to find quality sound from my interview, in the absolute zombie-bubble of tiredness that I still exist in, I accidentally deleted much of said sound. On the train to my Cinema screening on Monday I was trying to delete all of my recordings from the Zoom recorder to hand back to RMIT, but I forgot about sounds from other folders on the memory card that I was yet to retrieve……. And voilà, the sound is gone!

Still, I’m trying to remain positive and pretend the jigsaw of sound and footage as a challenge to fit together, like a mix-matching puzzle. I’m also trying to pretend I’ve worked with a shocking camera and sound team, and now have to fit all their mess together in the best way I know how. However, I cannot pretend that awful team is not in fact ME “^) :^D !!!!! Much of today I have taken a different approach to my assignment, gathering more found footage and crafting myself as a narrative voice instead of more coverage of my nana.

I am just disappointed because I don’t think my original idea to portray different “teacher” aspects of my nana will shine through…. And if they do, it will be a very unnatural, forced depicted I think. History is repeating itself from my first assignment… Again, my idea may not be coherent enough. I also don’t want to show my nana as I don’t believe I have done her as a person, justice.
