Today we presented our Lo Fi Media self portrait to each other. This assessment was a really good introduction to the work we’ll probably be doing for the rest of the semester, especially considering the media we produced for this assignment can be reproduced and refined in our Project Brief 2. It was pretty nerve-racking as this was the first time we’ve all had to show any ‘work’ to the class and the assignment required us to produce images, sound bites and footage that represented ‘us’. There were some really good elements produced in other peoples PB1. A recurring theme seemed to be that of public transport and media artefacts that represented ‘home’. I know that they’re two things I definitely tried to portray through my work.

We were introduced to the requirements for our PB2, in which we would have to create a 1 minute video of edited original footage ~ which would in turn represent us. I’m looking forward to having a go at editing together some footage, but I’m a bit wary of the problems I could face when involving my audio elements because I’ve never really worked with pure audio before!
