Outside the entrance of a busy shopping complex, there are a number of waist-high ledges covered in red tiles. Rising out of these large ledges are two thick pillars, also covered in red tiles. On each side of these pillars are no smoking signs, large, bold font, unmissable. Underneath one of these signs sits a […]

Our week 2 Friday class was mostly centered around the actual use of the Sony EX 3. This came a little late for me as I had already filmed my short part for assignment one and my lack of knowledge of the camera can be seen in the result. I did really enjoy running through […]

The giant foam cut out had a panda companion attached to the friend’s backpack. The strangely oversized foam ‘masks’ were about half the […]

The purpose of our second class exercise seems to be to further our skills with the camera as well as to think carefully about what and how we film. The exercise consisted of two 50 second shots, replicating that of the Lumiere brothers. We were encouraged to shoot only for these 50 seconds and only […]

I unfortunately wasn’t able to attend our first class, however, have caught myself up with the happening of the class and the exercises completed.

“We hate these cunts!” screamed in a completely non-aggressive or unfriendly manner as the two teams took to the field for a friendly match. The perpetrator of the sarcastic slur a rather lanky man with a red mullet. Both teams roared with laughter as they headed for their positions. This comment of crude sarcasm, which […]
