In 200 words or less please outline your goals, desires – what you want to get out of this semester. You will review this later in the course. Many will rethink this dramatically – this is a good thing.

As much as everything as possible; this primarily rests on absorbing as much information as possible from lectures, reading material – plus external sources – and tutorials, through focused and considered listening, review, and collaborative discussion.

I will endeavour to apply any of this knowledge to my media practice both professional (assessments, work placement and external projects, as well as my personal creative work) be it conceptual, or practical ability, in particular pre-production such as writing and administration roles. Process and protocol are also a priority when it comes to writing and producing professional – that is, as a career – media, something still very vague to me.

By the end of this semester I want to take the skills and knowledge to create professional and high quality visual media, and apply them to my own work with the goal of completing pre-production on 3 parts of a documentary, of broadcast standard, to eventually pitch to a television broadcaster.

Most importantly, the creative and collaborative opportunities through this course are a luxury I am looking forward to capitalising on to further explore genre, form, and style that I am unfamiliar with right now.
