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
The art of the interview was the subject for week five in Media one and something I’m really passionate about. 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…
DEEP WORK LECTURE AND READING
In today’s lecture we looked at a talk from Cal Newport on the links between the “Passion Mindset” and “Deep Work”. As millenials we were brought up being told that “If you are truly passionate about something then you’ll never have to work a day in your lives.” and that working hard at something is the way to produce success.…
Feedback Fun
Were you nervous about presenting your work? I was incredibly nervous. Although I’m used to presenting my work online and on social media, to be presenting a consciously made self-portrait to my peers was still nerve-wracking. What kind of feedback did you get? For my picture I chose a picture that I wasn’t 100% happy with, it was taken the…
INITIATIVE 2 – MORE VAMFF
Another VAMFF event for my initiative this week. On Sunday, I spent four hours in a theatre with a group of budding fashion writers for the “Fashion Writing Series Workshop”. Described as a chance to “get up close and personal with some of Australia’s fashion experts” and that we did. The speakers were Clare Press who is Marie-Claire’s editor-in-chief, a…
WEEK 2 – TRIGGERING EXPERIENCES
Well who would have ever thought that a University reading would be inspiring! I read the reading after I got home from the Women’s March on International Women’s Day and it confirmed to me that I’m in the right course and the right profession. I’d spent the afternoon posting content on my own website’s Instagram (@genzine) posting images and live…
