As Kuhn neatly put in The State of Film and Media Feminism (2004), ‘the ontology, the essential nature, of film and also [a] film’s aesthetics’ is the distinctiveness of illuminating film. While I apply these thoughts to SERIES, the relationship between my project and the subjectivity of the frame is simply fluid. Right now, I’m […]
I want to begin this post by sharing a thought I had in 2014 surrounding new media as networks: “So while networks are systems, it is their past reputation that can be seen as limiting their potential; being viewed as ‘objects of pure structure whose properties are fixed in time.’ This is not the case, […]
Let’s be honest for a moment, there’s a lot of jargon in my current direction that needs addressing. Don’t worry, it will be in the ABOUT section of SERIES. From keywords to ideas, I want to clear the space for viewers and myself. GLOSSARY Cinema 3.0: a term coined by Kristen Daly to describe ‘cinema […]
As part of my studio On The Frame, every two weeks I’ve decided to upload five frames from a film I’ve watched recently. This week I’ve chosen Her (2013). Directed by Spike Jonze, it wasn’t so much the narrative that made me infatuated with this film; it was the warm colours, the complementary palettes and […]

As my project is essentially all online and reflected through a screen, developing my interest in how the screen functions was a concept I naturally fell upon. Looking at the semiotics of television and media, Algis […]
After finalising my project changes, little stood between research and application. Trying to navigate SERIES and my initial inspirations, key ideas and quotes soon became apparent in the direction and flow. With Wasson burning strongly, I decided to annotate phrases that particularly stood apart from the rest as a guiding point to further research. Key […]
“Instead, Inception presents movie dream in the form of a complex, but logically consistent dream system. In this sense, film has become a ‘dream machine’ able to ‘think’ different levels of reality… The dream machine co-ordinates contradicting layers of time and space and the movie itself can appear as a ‘brain’ or as a ‘reality […]
As part of my studio On The Frame, every two weeks I’ve decided to upload five frames from a film I’ve watched recently. This week I’ve chosen Palo Alto (2013), directed by Gia Coppola. Nodding to the suburban dream of her Aunt’s (Sophia Coppola) The Virgin Suicides frequently, Palo Alto in itself is an independent […]
“The networked screen is one such concept, linking screens to the larger and frequently amorphous ideas and practices that constitute them, and to the material contexts in which such screens link viewer to image, user to screen, and spectator to spectacle.” – Haidee Wasson, 2008 Scrambling across my brief, I realised one thing. I […]
As part of my studio On The Frame, every two weeks I’ve decided to upload five frames from a film I’ve watched recently. This week I’ve chosen Sleeping Beauty (2011), directed by Julia Leigh. Choosing this film for my Australian cinema subject, I viewed this film for the second time with cinematography in mind. Typically […]
