In our Media 1 seminar, we started off by watching everyone’s project briefs. I have to say, I was impressed at the work I’d seen from everyone else, so, kudos to all of you. But I’ll go into further detail about all the stuff in…

For some reason, Media 1 seemed very in synch with Intro to Cinema studies last week. I don’t know if it’s just by pure coincidence, or that they planned this before the start of the year. Maybe every week has been like this, but I’m…

A couple of weeks ago, I finally watched Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel. I had this movie built up in my head from what other people had told me, and I was not disappointed. It was a quirky and childish movie, but also had…

This is where I put it all together. There is just something so satisfying about editing. It’s kind of like putting a puzzle together. When all the pieces are scattered, I feel so uncomfortable and disorganized. But once I’ve got a working, flowing video, it…

Sometimes, it’s interesting to just sit back and listen to someone talk about something they’re passionate about. Brandon is a 19-year-old architecture student. Here, he explains how life with an architectural influence has landed him where he is today. As mentioned in the video, my…

The last reading for this week was an excerpt from Umberto Eco’s SubStance (1985). This particular reading was a little bit difficult for me to wrap my head around because I actually haven’t seen Casablanca yet (I know, crazy, right? Shame on you Adrian). However,…

Our seminar started on a negative note with my realization that results had been published. Of course, my marks were scratching average, but I guess that in a way, it’s a learning experience. So, knowing that now I had to absolutely destroy Project Brief 3,…

This reading is a small extract from John Mason’s Researching Your Own Practice: The Discipline of Noticing (2002), and it was basically about, you guessed it, noticing. There were a few ‘try these soon’s littered throughout the text, some of which I thought would actually…
