In the workshop this week we made a short film all taken in one shot! It was really fun focusing on the pre-production (even if we didn’t have much time) and then see the idea come to life. Continuing on from Paul’s lecture on pre-production we focused on communication and taking many shots to see if we could find some…

WEEK SIX READING & LECTURE
“Why Do the Youth Share so Publicly?” by Danah Boyd was the title of this week’s reading. Whilst it was interesting i found it quite obvious… as I believe the intended audience are people over thirty. The people Danah was interviewing were the same age as myself and I could definitely relate to the subjects who were saying that their…
WEEK SIX INITIATIVE
After reading this week’s reading, “Why Do the Youth Share so Publicly?” by Danah Boyd I decided to review my online media habits. What are my privacy settings on Facebook? Who can see my photos? Why am I posting that link? I thought I knew a lot about media but this course is making me critically look and think about…
“EMBRACE” WEEK FIVE INITIATIVE
On Wednesday the 29th of March my friend and I went to the movies to see a private screening of the body positive documentary, “Embrace – One woman’s journey to inspire everyBODY” . It was the first time I’d seen a documentary on the big screen and I was captivated by the start. The editing and production was amazing. Tanya…
WEEK FIVE – LECTORIAL & READING

Although I have mostly had experience interviewing in print and online article styles, to get the inside knowledge on filmic interviews from Louise Turley was incredibly eye-opening. Louise went through the foundations of a good interview from the five W’s:…
WORKSHOP WEEK FOUR
IT’S FINISHED! In the workshop this week I got to put the finishing touches on my personal portrait and it feels so good to have the completed piece in front of me. It was really cool to create this film. To find the content, film it, upload it, cut it and put it together to create something that has a…
INITIATIVE FOUR – STUDIO VISIT
On Thursday in week four straight after my Media One studio I got to go to my second year studio visit! I was one of the lucky few to get into the fashion film studio called: “More Than Fabric: Fashion Films in the Digital Age” presented by Christina Heristanidis. It was a really fun and interesting studio to sit in…
INITIATIVE THREE: BEING AWARE OF EDITING
Until you study something and become aware, a technique such as editing is just a seamless part of consuming media. Before this subject and week three’s lecture I passively consumed film and television but afterwards I have been paying more attention to what techniques are being utilised. What is the producer/ director trying to say or convey with this editing…
PROJECT BRIEF TWO: REFLEFCTION
My intentions for ‘Project Brief Two’ were to convey a sense of self through what I saw in my daily life. The film, titled ‘Memories’ explores my current life, the one living as a University student in the city of Melbourne, juxtaposed against splices of my former life; my childhood and old family photos. I believe I successfully conveyed my…
