Here’s my interview with Michelle Shepherd of the Jane Goodall Institute. Michelle was a relevant candidate to talk to as we conducted the interview in the same week that Jane Goodall became a ‘Google Doodle’ for Earth Day 2018. This interview would be relevant for a Triple R audience as the Jane Goodall documentary, ‘Jane’ was just showing at the…
RWAV DEMO
This was recorded on Friday the 30th of March by Justin, Natika, Kaushal and myself. After a lot of practice over the week we were happy with this demo and are keen to improve even more before our show on May 21st. We recorded fake interviews to get the presenters comfortable with each other and used to a radio interview…
PB4 The Role Of The Critic
Embarking on this course at the beginning of the semester, I thought I had a pretty good grasp on what I thought a critic was. And whilst I knew I wanted to be a writer, I had thoughts of self-doubt over whether I wanted to be a critic per se. I thought, ‘Who am I?’ to tell audiences my opinions…
EAC WEEK 8
Week 8 began with some excitement thanks to having a guest lecturer, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas start her first day of her two week stint with our class. We watched the Australian short film ‘I’m You Dickhead’ which made me laugh out loud and had to take notes and ‘word vomit’ some notes to write a critical reflection on it. I enjoyed…
EAC WEEK 7
Monday’s class started with our pitch session for the semester! I had to go first and pitched my idea about the fashion industry that I want to explore more. It was interesting to hear what the rest of the class had to say on my piece as well as their own pitches. With some donuts to keep us going we…
EAC WEEK 6
Week 6! Halfway through the semester already, and it was mine and Grace’s turn to write up the summary. On Monday’s class we defined the role of the curator. Some of the class struggled to define what this was and I can see why. In the age of the Internet it’s easy for people to label themselves as ‘curators’ and…
WEEK 4 EAC
Monday’s class was another critiquing class. I wrote a review for Jailhouse Rock (yes I’m combining my subjects together) since it was the only media artifact I’d consumed all week!! Georgia told me to put my voice into the piece more and watch my sentence structure, something I’ve been told a bit lately. I think I’m getting so into the…
WEEK 3 EAC
Week 3) Unfortunately I was absent for both classes of week three due to some media work coming up but I still got to read over the reviews of Jonathan Gold and Edward Scissor hands. I’ve begun to draft my critics profile for the assignment and have chosen fashion critic Suzy Menkes. The research is really interesting but I’m struggling…
WEEK TWO EAC
WEEK 2) After a week of settling into the new media rooms and getting to know everyone’s names (mostly) we got stuck into work in Week 2 of ‘Everyone’s A Critic’. To prepare for class I read through ‘Film Criticism: The Next Generation’. Some interesting notes I took from this reading was that being a critic is really just an…
INDIVIDUAL REFLECTION PB4
I have definitely preferred this audio assignment to the two visual ones before. There were many positives to this assignment and this began with my team members. I was paired with Jaie McGuiness and Mikayla Hyndman. Jaie was the expert on all things ‘Star Wars’ which made it a lot easier when deciding which fandom to look into. Jaie also picked…
