Reflection on students work.
Aiden Tai-Jones’s work stood out for me (not in my work group) as it combined the technical, visual and narrative particularly well. It highlighted the fact that my own skills in filming and editing needs a lot of work!
In my group I have chosen to focus on Sarah Brooke’s work, ‘Breaking Bridges’. What I liked about her doco on her friend Andrew Foo was the contrast of using black and white, the use of smoke billowing only in the frame and then the sudden colour when her friend made some changes in his life. I did suggest that she use parkour footage as Andrew was/is an urban acrobat of sorts, but Sarah advised me that he wasn’t in to that. Anyway, very inspiring work.
