Work on Assessment Item 4 has began to speed up as the due date has drawn closer, with 10 days left before the final submission date it has become increasingly present that the earlier a fully development piece can be produced, the more time can be spent on refining and strengthening the piece. At this point in time a draft piece has been developed and presented to Robin which outlined to myself some areas that could be focused on more, specifically what time of imagery i can use to evoke emotion, specifically exploring how pictures could be used rather than just found footage for the piece as they sometimes can have more of a powerful effect. Yesterday and Today have been dedicated to creating a more fleshed out version to present with the intent of spending the next three days after on collating the audio required for the piece (Recordings of the Australian National Anthem as spoken by people I personally will seek out and record with).

Some dot points of progress as of today:

– Half way through a “second draft”, that is closer to what the end piece will be.
– All contacts have been organised for audio recordings and will commence as of Thursday.
– Some images have been found that I personally like and intend on putting in the piece but still dedicating some time each day to read through newspapers, look on internet and research into events/images/videos I could use.
