See What I Did There

In this week’s workshop, we received feedback for the rough cut of our video essay. Similar to the feedback we got on our audio essays (click here for that feedback), we didn’t really have to make too much changes other than some tweaks here and there. The feedback we got were to adjust the white […]

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 […]

How To Survive Uni

Or rather, how we are surviving at RMIT. Our exercise for this week’s workshop was to conduct interviews using a Sony MC50 video camera. In terms of any problems we had, I don’t think that we had any major problems during filming, other than finding a really quiet place to film. We did find a […]

It’s audition time. And no I don’t mean, auditioning for a show or film. I’m talking about Adobe Audition. We were given a brief tutorial on the basics of using Audition in order to help us edit our audio from our audio recording exercise (and click here to read about my post on that) in […]
