Hey I hope you have not gotten tired of my face yet. But bare with me if you have because I honestly need to practice my skills on myself before I take photographs of anyone else. I need to develop a proper relationship with my camera before I go further with others elements. So this time I decided to use…

So here comes the second shoot.
So yay here’s another photoshoot. I took these a week after the last one and I decided to go natural haha. They look kinda horrible to me but I’m going to stay honest with you because I really want to document the progress of my skills. The set up was pretty much the same as last time, with a desk…
Week 10 Lecture & Reading
Some notes: Audio drama, documentaries & features Broadcast & radio are important in making media. Info could help with making other types of medias. RadioLab Time (season I, episode I) – ‘program intro’ As a piece progresses you get a sense of where things fall. In other words, audio hints the audience of what is coming. It implies if the…
PB4 – Final Edit & Reflection
It’s been hell of a ride making PB4 and missing a team member has definitely made it harder. However, working with Joanna was an absolute pleasure as she was innovative and hard working. Getting things done in time is her aesthetic. Starting off with researching, we were stuck in the mindset of doing something specifically including the work ‘attention’, and…

Week 2 Initiative – Thoughts on ‘Split’
I recently watched a film called ‘Split’ that was very impressive. ‘Split’ is a thriller film starring James Mcavoy, who is one of my favorite actors of all time. His performance is ‘X-men’ series and the Scottish film ‘Filth’ was absolutely extraordinary. In the film ‘Split’, James plays a man who is diagnosed with Dissociative Identities Disorder, meaning that there…
Week 2 Reading – ‘Introduction’
In this week’s reading, David Gauntlett introduced us to the concept of what the media is like now and how we should deal with the rapidly changing and evolving situation in media. ‘For me, media studies today consists of a diminished blob of the old themes, but with two new peaks of exciting and vital activity on either side.
