Week 5 Lectorial

In todays lectorial we looked at Project Brief 3 and Found Footage aswell as learning about Academic Reading and Writing. Practically speaking, I thought the section on academic writing was really useful, especially the ‘goals in terms of succesful readings’ which gave me a handy step by step formula (summary, evaluation, commentary) that I will use when completing future readings.

During my brain storming I had a really good idea in regards to how I will approach ‘Project Brief 3’. Unlike with ‘Project Brief 2’ where my project took its shape and started to create meaning as I began shooting, with Project Brief 3 I am going to plan my project shot by shot and have a very structured template for which I will follow when creating it. I will then compare the two approaches and see which one worked better and suited me more.

I also found it a bit weird to be brainstorming ideas and concepts in relation to my friends, but nonetheless I am pretty keen to start creating.
