blog #27: socially stalking

Without a doubt today’s tutorial inspired me to try harder in the area of film editing. There was such a high standard set today by everyone, so to try and match that was hard. I felt as though, while everyone’s films were of an impeccable standard, Jac’s Brief 3 on his friend and fashion designer […]

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 #22: hearing aid

Today’s tutorial was all about sound, noise and coverage. We discussed the 3 main types of sounds which included music, speech and sounds (as well as, unintentional noise). We also spoke about reverb which is created by multiple reflections naturally. For example, if you’re in a church or cathedral, the reverb can be 15 seconds […]

blog #21: plans

Having absolutely no experience with cameras and recording, Elise, Steph, Gianna and I had a little information and planning session for Brief 3 where Elise also taught us how to function the Sony MC50 camera.

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 #16: FOMO

Today’s Media One lecture will be down a member, that member being me. My friends from Adelaide have flown to Melbourne to visit me for the weekend and I have to make the trip with them to drop them off at the airport. Their plane leaves at 1520 hours (like my aviation lingo?), with their […]
