This weeks workshop was pretty productive if I do say so myself.
This workshop, after a few tasks that I can’t remember – we got into our groups for the upcoming project brief 4 and did some collaborative work once again.
We had an extensive discussion on what we could frame our media essay around. After several minutes of back-and-forth conversation, the questions we have come up with to frame our media essays on is: Continue reading

In this day in age, it’s safe to assume that most households have some form of access to the internet. Whether it’s through cable, ADSL, fibre-optics, satellite, or even through the use of wireless 3G/4G networks that is used predominantly by mobile phones. Access to the internet is such a huge phenomenon, that it is deeply integrated into our society and culture. Consequently, this leads many to look for the best internet provider to improve their internet experience. But what impacts on a consumers internet experience? As consumers, we look for a number of things in our internet service providers (ISP’s) – reliability, customer service, cost, contract length and the terms of service. However, one thing that I personally look for when deciding on a ISP is the internet speed. Internet speed is more often than not, the deciding factor when choosing which ISP to go with (personally). But how important is fast internet speed? Continue reading

I’m really proud of that title.
Quick run-down before I give you my personal SWOT analysis. SWOT analysis – which is used in a number of groups (small and large), is a way of assessing the current status and position of an individual, group or organization. It is a way of identifying ‘where we are now’ and ‘where we want to go’. SWOT is an acronym that stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. Quick run-down over – LOOK AT MY SWOT ANALYSIS! Continue reading

Time to be a judgemental prick about other people’s work!
I’m just kidding…
On Wednesday 20th of April, we were forced (against our will) to show our finished interviews to the rest of the class. Overall, everyone’s was great! Some were phenomenal, others – while still good, could’ve been better. We were put into groups to assess one another’s work and give positive/negative criticism. Look below to see links to my group members interviews, as well as my feedback: Continue reading
No witty introductions from this time, let’s get straight to the point.
Media one students recently had to create a self portrait of someone else. If you haven’t seen my one yet, click here! Below, you will find my reflection on the project itself, so… enjoy?
First of all, I really want to express my happiness in the way the interview turned out. Continue reading
Oh, what fun I had with this project!
By far, this was my favourite project out of the three we have done so far. Continue reading
Teamwork is a fundamental idea in achieving feats that have never been possible before.
Today’s lectorial (18/04/2016) took on two ideas: one, was non-narratives; whereas the second idea was the idea of collaboration. Now to be one hundred percent honest – I got nothing from the first talk about non-narratives. Why? Continue reading
You know when you’ve got a runny nose, and you constantly feel like you’ve got a booger hanging under your nostril for the world to see? Yeah, I have no idea where I’m going with this… Continue reading
Comedian – Lynn Ruth Miller
So recently, I helped in a collaboration project between RMITV (RMIT’s TV) and Catalyst (RMIT’s magazine).
I was to be the camera/lighting operator for an interview with a comedian named ‘Lynn Ruth Miller’. We had some time before this comedian showed up, so I ran over to the cafe near the RMITV offices to grab a bite. Shortly after, one of the volunteers came running over to me saying that the comedian had arrived. So I grabbed my stuff, and ran back over with him. I pointed at a younger woman standing near the office and asked, ‘is that the comedian?’. He replies, ‘no, it’s the one next to her’. Standing beside the young woman, was a little, innocent old lady. Continue reading
Game of thrones – George R.R. Martin
Who says a protagonist can’t die?
I didn’t get much from this week’s lectorial, unfortunately. I just wasn’t in the right mood to focus after Rachel’s typo of ‘public’ to ‘pubic’. That was way to funny. Anyway, one thing that stands out was one of Brian’s points on what makes a protagonist. He stated that a protagonist cannot die. While this may be the case for the majority of narratives, there are a number of times where writers/directors will do the exact opposite. Continue reading
