Wednesdays are good days for me. Or at least for this week it was. I finally went to Ai Wei Wei x Warhol exhibition at the NGV with only a few days left before it leaves. I have been wanting to see this exhibition for a long time but I never got around to it. […]
Read more "For The Love Of Art"A reading we had for the week was ‘What is Collaboration Anyway?’ in The Social Media Reader (Hyde et al), which if it’s not clear enough in the title, is about collaboration. Because what better way to learn about being a team player than to read about how to be one. Sharing Is the First […]
Read more "Let’s Collab Dude"For this week’s workshop, we had yet another film fest of everyone’s third project brief and we had to give feedback on the work of the people in our table. So below is my feedback for the gals sitting on my table. (Click on their names to see their film portraits) Jennifer — What I […]
Read more "No Offence"‘Together Everyone Achieves More’ Oh, how that phrase is so inspiring yet haunting. Everyone knows what it feels like to work in a team, that is, most of us has had experiences working in good teams, and not so good teams. So how do you work collaboratively in a team? Well, of course, that’s something […]
Read more "Team Up"For our third project brief, we were required to make a 2-3 minute short film on someone we may, or may not, know. And for my project, I have chosen a close friend of mine, and most importantly, my twin, Angelica. We’re not actual twins, as in related by blood. But in spite of that, […]
Read more "Twin"Shoutout to the power of music. Editing for my third project brief was both painful yet pleasing. The process was quite painful, but the outcome was quite pleasing. Honestly, I spent so much time finding royalty free music and reading licensing pages of those websites with royalty free music, that sometimes I even stayed up […]
Read more "Musical Struggles"Another one of our readings for this week is an extract from Researching your own practice: The discipline of noticing by John Mason which focused mainly on the art of noticing. In some sense, it suggests that noticing is something that just happens to us, and not something we necessarily deliberately do. It included an […]
Read more "Did You Notice That?"One of our readings this week is an extract from Directing the Documentary by Michael Rabiger. The extract focused particularly on drama and the three act structure. It explains the importance of the dramatic curve in any story, and how pinpointing this apex will highlight the rest of the conventions naturally prior to and after […]
Read more "Take Notes"The workshop for this week was less of a workshop and more of a consultation session. Our tutorial teacher spoke to use individually giving us feedback on rough cuts of our film portraits for our third project brief. The main feedback that I got was to try and focus on one aspect of my subject […]
Read more "Here’s A Tip For You"In this week’s lectorial, we were given an introduction into narrative. The example that was used in class was a documentary called, Mistaken For Strangers directed by Tom Beringer to explain the three act structure. I’ve watched documentaries here and there, but I never really thought that the three act structure can actually be applied […]
