So I’m starting uni, again. Second year, different course. I was an engineering student, I switched over to media because I realised I wanted to do what I love rather than things I was good at in high school. I fell out of my interest for maths and science, but was I really that interested in it at all? It doesn’t matter because here I am. ‘So why Media?’ my relatives often ask me. Well, I love watching TV shows, movies, anime, music and video games so I decided I wanted to be a part of it.
I already knew what to expect before the first lectorial in terms of how they run. Throughout the first lecture I could only think about how much more laid back this course was, everyone was much more friendlier and more social, compared to engineering at least. I felt at home. Which was something I never felt in engineering. I was particularly intrigued by the video that we watched at the end of the lecture. The constant techno beat coincided with the visuals on screen. With each scene as it was essentially repeating, something was added to the scene. From what was just a peaceful beginnings of the music video turned out quite chaotic by the final repetition got me thinking about how I want to direct/film something similar, in scale at least. I want to produce something that starts of small or peaceful and gets grander in scale. I guess this is one of the many reasons why I’m in media.
