Today, I brainstormed what I was going to film and record for my Signal – Project Brief 4. I’ve asked my close friend Evan, who is high level tumbler (person who can do flips) to come into the Gymnastics centre I work at, so perform some tricks for me, and then I’ll aim to do all the main work for my film on the computer. I’ll capture it with my Nikon D3000 and the lighting in the gymnasium isn’t very good so I’m going to have to edit that on the computer as well. I’ll film in 3 different places, 1 on the main trampoline, 2 on the full gymnastics floor, 3 against a plain wall. I want to film the same set of tricks on each place with different angles, so a low angle, a mid-shot, a upward angle, and film the bottom half of the body, then the top half, so I have the ability to move around the same action across different screens with different angles. I’ll also get my subject matter in white clothes so he stands out against the equipment as the multiple colours in the room may be distracting, as well as it will represent life, and flight.

Media Studio | Wk. 10
I missed this whole week of Uni as I was representing RMIT at the Australian Uni Games in Queensland. However, I did message my classmates, and had a look at their blogs to see what I had missed out on. From what I could tell, everyone is expanding from their themes and creating ideas for their film and audio pieces. I am still stuck on what theme let alone which videos and what type of audio will accompany them. I think at this stage I like theme of “movement” and incorporate tumbling, gymnastics, and moving shapes so far, but I’m still brainstorming. I noticed Jordan had done a tutorial on how to use Premiere to create our films with the right dimensions for the Signal Exhibition and they have named it “Obsession”. I guess I’ll have to ask someone when I get back to explain how to export the videos in the correct format, but first I need to brainstorm and film!!!
Media 1, Week 9 Tutorial Reflection
Due to my birthday celebrations (yay 19!) I missed out on today’s tutorial. However, I contacted my group and we had still decided to stick to splitting out assignment up in three chunks, Helena exploring the modern side of sound, Katie exploring the traditional side, and I was exploring sound and it’s connection to it’s audience. Our annotated bibliography was due and I found 5 articles, some were about music and emotions, one was on the meaning behind the human voice, and the other were about particular sounds and the reaction from a particular form of audience. It was a bit challenging, the information was very “Dry” and so it was hard to stay focused. If I am to use the info in my podcast, I’m going to have to brainstorm about how I’m going to make a little more “upbeat”.
Media 1, Week 8 Tutorial Reflection
In today’s tutorial we were given a large sheet of A2 paper to brainstorm our topic, “mediums” from this we deciphered which particular medium we would like to direct our focus on, which was sound. We split sound into 3 forms and allocated each member to research that topic and fid 5 references for their annotated bibliography. This brainstorm was very helpful in that it allowed us to communicate and share ideas and find a direction in which we would like the follow. We demonstrated a lot of collaboration between the two of us, except our third member was missing and therefore, we didn’t reach the full potential of sharing ideas with her absence.
