Paranormal activity

Okay, so I’ve never actually seen Paranormal Activity (because it looks really f**king scary), but I figured the title sort of fit. Maybe it doesn’t? I don’t know.

So last Thursday was my first day back at Uni after Easter Break. I expected the Workshop to go slow (it is 3 hours after all), but this week was a little different. Firstly, we watched all our second projects and of course mine went first. It was okay though, because then I wasn’t anxious while watching literally everyone else’s. I guess what I noticed was how different everyone’s was despite having the same restrictions and even sometimes, the same themes and shots. I thought that was a really positive sign, because we all clearly had very different visions which is always good in the Media industry.

Then we were given a workshop activity (the blog post title making anymore sense yet?) which was to split off into partners and record ambiance sounds and interview each other. Me and my friend messed around with that at first, answering the set questions sarcastically, but eventually we did the task. It’s surprisingly hard to ask and answer a question without stumbling over your words, let me tell you.

I guess next workshop will be dedicated to trying to edit and use that audio we recorded and make something new.
