Having read & re-read the prescribed article for this week, I finally started to get my head around the concepts of Object Oriented Ontology and the relationship it has to the things we are learning in this studio.

 

This epiphany (and I don’t believe thats too grandiose a word) coincided with my acceptance into a group to work with for the soundscape and the subsequent film that we will have to produce. This ultimately culminated in a highly productive period of media making and conceptual theorising that allowed me to further understand the concepts outlined in the readings.

 

Having had to excuse myself from classes for the previous 2 weeks due to outside commitments, I sheepishly returned to the classroom full of anxiety and nerves. This feeling soon subsided as I landed in a group that consisted of people I have previously worked with. Although the majority of the group wasn’t there on the Tuesdays class, I managed to learn what the group wanted to focus our soundscape on and the rough trajectory of the narration; this initially helped me curb my media making and tailor it to the groups desires.

 

The evening of Tuesday 21st was spent recording the strange and familiar sounds of my bedroom and then mixing & editing these sounds to emulate the emotions I feel when I enter my room. Having only a 15 sec length to portray these emotions ultimately hindered the end result, however working to a brief and doing the best I could in that time is going to be a common thing in the future of my media career.

 

I am excited for the finished product and can’t wait to collaborate with the group again today.
