The dawn of a new semester at RMIT brings the exciting prospects of a specialised studio. My allocated studio is headed by Louise Turley; Capturing Creativity.

My semester goals for this studio are quite simple. There’s only two of them.

One, to put in 100% effort to all tasks that are assigned to me, and then to add an extra 10% effort every week into revising what I have learned and attempting to apply it to real-life situations so that I am constantly thinking both practically and creatively. This can include writing an extra blog post or simply going to an ARI and supporting local and Australian artists.

Two, to get out of my comfort zone, and properly immerse myself into life at uni and within this course. This may include sending out my applications to potential work attachment companies, to making friends with someone new in every class, to making a conscious effort to ask questions in class.

I spent the majority of Media 1 finding my feet in uni life, and scraping by in terms of my grades. This semester I want to use my knowledge and experiences in the art world to enable me to develop an insight into the lifestyle of an artist.

Furthermore, I want to develop my skills as a media practitioner, and broaden my horizons and skill set in this field. My goal is to become more proficient in editing using Premiere Pro CC, which I will be able to do through the major assessment of Capturing Creativity.

I feel like this semester holds so many exciting prospects and I can’t wait to see them unfold.
