You Got This

So in our second class of this week, we just spent the time working on our drafts and speaking to Stayci for advice on our writing. While I didn’t ask her anything because I honestly didn’t know what to ask – although I definitely do need some feedback on my writing so far – from […]

Not Far Away Now

As we come close to the end of the semester, we are still keeping the writing strong with another exercise, and this time, looking more into how to create worlds in a screenplay. We were given three options to write about: light, distance or inner perspective through sound. This were all pretty hard to write […]

Film Firsts

So today, we had our first day of filming and it was actually pretty good. We had a fairly early call time to allow us enough time to set up all the equipment before the actors arrived. But to say that we were cool, calm and collected would’ve been a great joke but probably not […]

And Once More

And now, let the re-filming begin.

One of the key topics that this reading discusses is that idea proposed by Marshall McLuhan; that the medium is more influential than the actual […]

Listen to This

For this week’s workshop, we received feedback on our audio essay. We didn’t really need to make a lot of changes other than a few tweaks here and there. We did, however, had to re-record a few things but not too much. Overall, I’m quite happy with how our audio essay turned out. Especially since […]

Work It Out

In this week’s lectorial, we first got a lecture on work attachments. This is something that we need to complete before the end of our last semester of our final year if we want to graduate. Oh, and one more thing, we need to complete 80 hours of it. Personally, I find this a little […]
