5. The Power of; We are not dead
We are not dead irked me, but eventually I think I got my head around it. Written as a stream of thought, This post was my thought process in trying to understand this admittedly intense short film. Click on the puppy to see it.

4. A Look at The Matrix; Man with machine will always beat Man without
I have a special love for the matrix; despite the sometimes depressingly bad effects it uses it never ceased to be awe inspiring in my mind. And yet it always seemed odd to me that the architect was so human when none of it’s minions were. Here I tried out a theory of mine; that The Matrix isn’t about robot invasion, so much as an allegory for modern day slavery.

3. A Look at The Selfie
I like this one simply because it was a chance to go through the controls of the blog; basic image controls and alt text that allowed for ease of posting in future episodes
Speaking of clickable selfies….
2. A Daily Photo
This was more for me than the assignment; I’ve always taken photos as a sort of hobby, but I never put time constraints on myself, which made this more structured than ever before. While I can’t really link to all of them, I can repost my favourite, which I will do!
Dave had to stand very still. For Very Long.
This was my favourite not just because of the picture itself, but because it marked the beginning of the alt text- almost every picture after had some snide comment on either the picture or on how the Algorythm would have done it better.
1. Lets Try; Premiere Pro
Premiere pro has been my best friend throughout the semester; I’ve found myself hand in hand with it in almost everything I do. It wouldn’t be fair, then, to not include my experiences testing and learning this application.
Favorite kitty for favorite program!
At the time of writing, there are still 4 scheduled posts in Daily Photo, and I have not decided whether or not I shall continue the trend.
PB4 Reflection
I’ll admit, I was incredibly confused by this project brief; it was far more vague than previous ones, and we weren’t really sure what to do with it. Our communication in the beginning wasn’t that great, and we had plenty of trouble actually settling on a concept; we ended up having three separate issues to cover, in what would have to amount to a 5 to 10 minute video. In the end we picked Desensitization, as it was sort of the common ground out of all our research. 10 minutes is a really short amount of time to produce a documentary on such a large issue, so we went with more of a discussion based piece.
It was my first time writing a script, and if I can avoid it in the future I will; the sheer lack of feedback terrified me in how little I knew of what I was doing.
Helen did the editing, and she did really well putting together the rough cut. I did color correct for the final, and Jamie did the a good deal of the shoot.
