Week 11 – Connection

So in continuing with Eliza’s blog post (http://www.mediafactory.org.au/eliza-mcevoy/2015/05/22/225-week-11-connection-st-kilda-film-festival-opening-night/)  about the St Kilda Film Festival opening night, I would also like to write my own post about it!

Heading into the Palais Theatre was an absolute nightmare. It always boggles my mind to think about how poorly planned some events are. You would think that they would have more than 5 staff handing out tickets to thousands of festival guests.

Anyway, the festival itself was absolutely genius. As media students, it was good to go in there and to not only enjoy ourselves immensely, but to also analyse and understand these incredibly creative films on a much deeper level. There weren’t any films that utilised the art of remixing as such to relate it back to this week’s lectorial, but that doesn’t really matter. We walked out of it feeling so inspired and ready to approach Semester 2 with a new spark. I know what I did wrong in Semester 2 motivation wise, so now I can go into Semester 2 bigger and better than ever. Probs a bit fatter too, can’t wait for the 6 week break.
