MADDISON

I focused the Project Brief 3 assessment on my older sister, Maddison.  A person who I have looked up to all my life and who never ceases to interest me.
Two minutes is not nearly long enough to do her beautiful mind justice, but I have done my best so enjoy.  🙂

First Camera Practice

After presenting our self portraits to the class (daunting), week 5’s media practorial had us having a go at filming with the Sony MC50 video camera.  We were sent out onto the campus to create one 3 shot sequence and one single shot sequence with the stimulus; meeting someone/handshake.
We decided to take a bit of a shifty approach to the whole ‘handshake’ idea.
So here it is

Feedback

On Thursday we grouped up and gave each other feedback on our self-portraits.  To keep this short and to the point, it was concluded that while my portrait was in no way wrong (it’s kind of impossible for a self-portrait to be wrong) it was quite superficial.  The self-portrait only really portrays who I am on the surface, it lacks in personal depth.  The point was raised that even after seeing my self-portrait the reader still feels as though they don’t really know me.
So since our first marked project is another self-portrait, I’m keeping all of this feedback in mind and self-analysing and brainstorming ways to portray myself on a more personal and less obvious way.

What

Week 1 of Media Practical class has involved creating this blog to keep a record of everything happening throughout our uni course.  My initial response is
?????????????????????????

I’m finding this site rather confusing for the first setup but I’m an experiential learner so I’m sure I’ll understand more the more I use it.
I’m generally in a constant state of confusion so that fact that this website confuses me is no real surprise.
