blog #26: don’t hold back

Today’s tutorial was all about showing each other’s videos, and then giving criticism and feedback on our Brief 3 videos. The following is each of my friend’s thoughts on my video, as well as a link to their own Brief… Elise She loved the way that I interviewed my Yiayia, and the story that was […]

blog #25: confucius say

Today’s lecture really threw me for a loop, I understood quite little of everything that was discussed… and having a look over Brief 4, I can only add to that confusion. The use of stringent media terms made today’s lecture turn into one big blur. I tried my hardest to understand the key concepts discussed, […]

blog #23: lost in translation

Today I completed, shot, produced, filmed, wrote (trying to think of other movie roles to make me sound professional when I’m really not) and EDITED (nailed it!) my Brief 3 film on my grandmother, Panayiota Grigoriou. My Yiayia, grandma in Greek, suffered through the loss of her parents due to war and unfortunate circumstances, was forced […]

blog #20: 1, 2, 3… break

First checkpoint… DOWN. I’ve reached the Easter Holiday one week break of my first year at university and it hasn’t been all that bad. In our Media One lectorial yesterday we touched on Brief 3 which is to make a media piece of someone we know. It definitely sounds interesting and I’m looking forward to […]

blog #18: aussie aussie aussie

It’s hard to believe that there are still an abundance of naysayers in Australia who refuse to listen to Australian music. Australian artists are some of the best in the world… from blues and roots to hip-hop, pop to dance and everywhere in between, it still surprises me at the amount of people that believe […]

blog #17: cut/copy

I’ve known for about 3 years now that once I leave university, and am qualified to be a part of the workforce, I would love a career in the media industry. More specifically, broadcasting is where my heart lies. Something about interacting with others, being out and about, relaying information, and being liked excites me. […]

blog #15: pain in my web

It’s hard to think that in the not to distant past, there was no such thing as the Internet. Computers, mobile phones, tablets – everything these days is just another platform to get in touch with people via the world wide web. Today, however, the Internet and I had a hiccup in our long and […]

blog #14: does this hat suit me?

Today’s tutorial was purely focused on our Brief 1, our self-portraits. Today we spoke on each individual table talking about our own media artefacts. We were asked to put on 1 of 4 different hats as we passed judgement, criticism and positivity on everyone’s work. The hat feedback system, as founded by De Bono, is […]

blog #13: TEXT

For my text for Brief 1, I’ve chosen to just use one word. My word is:  FATE In 2014 I was involved in a serious car accident as I drove to visit my parents at their place of work in the Barossa Valley region about an hour drive from the city of Adelaide. I started […]
