This week’s exercise is shooting a person showing what was in their bag. I was very intrigued, I have watched heaps of “What’s in my bag” videos years ago, I think there was a trend of videos and vlogs on Youtube some years ago. I never thought that I would make one of them, but […]

As the exercise of this week is to film and put together various scenes in a way that is compelling and makes sense, I thought of the film “From a distance gaze” that we watched in the last class. The film is unique to me as soon as I heard about how it is produced: […]

I viewed it as more of a moving image, or just a simple video. Nonetheless, it still shows the significance of film, perhaps when looking clearly even […]

Initially, when I signed up for this class, I thought I would learn about film in a different way.   I immediately thought about how we would get to know the technique, the tips and tricks and rules in filming. I was intrigued about cinematography and color grading. I was prepared for watching and giving […]

From Real-World Media Murder Mystery  I have been keeping an eye on this project, since I used to be quite fond of escape rooms in my younger days. As I had once written in my review for the pitch presentation, I think it was clever to take inspiration from something that is already very established […]
