Future Machina Week 4

Week 4 was our second in person class for the semester. The focus of the content for this session was on memes and misinformation in online spaces. For our opening activity we were allowed to spend a few minutes making a meme using online tools. I decided to take the extra step and make a Prince Phillip meme in photoshop (below). After this We were shown the Sony X70 camcorders. They’re a prosumer video camera and actually produce a very nice image. Super light weight and simple to use, especially with the top handle. At the beginning of class we had a screening of all our Assessment one videos. Unfortunately I appeared in two separate videos because I said I would help Joe make his, and I also left mine to the last minute and ended up having to act myself. Both the penalties of my lack of foresight. Luckily I wasn’t entirely cringe worthy. We did a little shooting exercise with x70’s later on. I filmed with Joe and Rhys. It was fun to get out and about and to think about camera work again after having a year stuck inside.
