This week was our last workshop for Media One! As a group, Jaie, Mikayla and I listened to our one minute rough cut and showed Hannah as well. Hannah gave us feedback at the start of the workshop and we then edited it once more before the panel arrived. We cut some of the content and added more to create…

WORKSHOP WEEK 11
In this weeks workshop we worked in groups to produce a short audio clip. We decided to get into the same groups as our assignments so we could get used to each other and learn how everyone works to sort out roles and responsibilities. We had to create a 1-2 minute audio piece titled, “Are you paying attention?” and so…
WEEK 11 INITIATIVE (Netflix vs. Stan)
Week 11’s lecture was all about television broadcasting and it’s changing landscape. This made me think about how I was watching T.V and if I was just watching the suggestions Netflix was giving me or if I was going out of my way to find new content to watch to broaden my horizons. So one night when my housemate and…
WORKSHOP WEEK TEN
This week’s workshop got off to a nice start as we listened to an NPR podcast titled, “My Lobotomy”. I found it really interesting, I love hearing about history and times have changed as well as getting a little emotional every now and then. Whilst listening I took down some notes about different effects I was hearing. There was music…
INITIATIVE WEEK 10
I’ve started listening to more podcasts this year, they’ve soared in popularity and content creators are stepping out of their comfort zones of Youtube and video to expand to Soundcloud and iTunes podcasts. A few I enjoy are Will Darbyshire and Arden Rose’s podcast about popular culture, Rookie’s magazines editor Tavi Gavinson’s podcast also entitled, ‘Rookie’ and one by the…
LECTURE/ READING WEEK TEN
This week’s lecture was from Kyla Brettle, a radio/ documentary producer of seventeen years. Since our new assignment is audio this week’s lecture was a great way for me to get motivated and begin to wrap my head around what I needed to do (especially considering I’ve been away for two and a half weeks!). I enjoy listening to podcasts…
LECTURE/ READING WEEK NINE
This week’s lecture was by Dr. Rachel Wilson getting us hyped and ready for our group project – Project Brief 4! I’m really looking forward to working with audio rather than video as I want to learn a range of skills throughout this degree. It was interesting to see what group work can give to us individually. It’s easy to…
REFLECTION
Although the interview with my Grandad hasn’t turned out the way I thought it would in my head, I am overall happy with the outcome and the progress I have made in just two months of beginning Media One. My Grandad is a humble man and it took him about fifteen to twenty minutes of talking before he got into…
WEEK 8 WORKSHOP
I’ve been away for the past two weeks so haven’t been able to compare edits on PB3 with my peers however I have compared with close friends to see how each other is doing and send feedback via Facebook (one benefit of social media when on the other side of the world). Although I couldn’t physically partake in this week’s…
WEEK 7 – READING (Cancelled Lecture)
The other day my friend Lizzie said to me, “Have you read this week’s reading?!?” I replied that I hadn’t “Oh my god, I do NOT get it, it’s about animals? Like… animals in the Zoo… what does this have to do with Media!” I figured that there must be some connecting link but Lizzie was right. As I began…
