Blog Stalk Week 8

So this week I’m stalking Ella’s blog who’s stalking Lauren’s blog. Check out the post here. So I’m not going to lie to you make-believe-people-who-don’t-read-my-blog, but I did check out this blog because of it’s amazing cover shot (you go ella, and I am also obsessed with rain shots). Anyway, the girls were talking about…

IM Week 7 lecture.

Some notes I was able to grab from this weeks lecture, not very extensive, just dot points provoking some interesting thoughts. Q1.Apart from reminding us that narrative is made up of ‘everyday stuff,’ what can lists achieve as a literary device? lists allow to generally get details across quickly without having to explain quick descriptions in separate ways …

Blog Stalk Week Seven

We’ll, We’ll, We’ll, if it isn’t autocorrect. Just kidding, it’s Blog Stalking time! For this weeks Blog Stalk, I went back in time to check out some of Miss Lauren Midler’s K-film sketches, and came across her sketch in regards to her family. Check it out here. So, as you can see this is an…

Week 7 reflections / Problems

So this weeks class was cancelled. (Just a little note for me when I wonder why later on it was that I didn’t blog about this weeks endeavours)

IM1 Reading 07

Blog Stalk Week 6

I always find it really interesting that when we’re asked to tell people about ourselves, we either become insanely shy or incapable of finding…

Week 6 Reflection / Problems

So this week was all about our submitting of our first K-Film (you can find mine here) So it seems like I was one of the few people who actually enjoyed their experience with Korsakow, but I have to admit, that I do think that was largely affected by the using of only two keywords…

My First K Film

So it didn’t come without it’s difficulties, but here it is…My very first K film! The K film is a poem reflecting myself, and I hope you like it! http://www.themediastudents.net/im1/2014/rebecca.skilton/rebeccaskilton.html

IM1 Reading 06

A few notes I have taken directly from this weeks reading, “Making (with) the Korsakow system” by Matt Soar. I would like to say that this was actually an interesting read, specifically because we are able to relate to this topic extensively (after all we are using the program). However, I feel like this would…

Film/TV1 – Analysis Three – Question Three
