Prompts for posting
1 Write about what you want from this studio? What do you think this studio is? Outline your goals and desires. Consider the Studio Prompt, Brief and Aims – (minimum 300 words)
2 Reflect on the findings from class exercises and homework (choose 2) and embed the videos in your blog post.
There should be some moment of discovery, an epiphany – If you didn’t have one that was naturally occurring, then you haven’t reflected enough. (minimum 300 words each)
It doesn’t matter if the video is not highly polished. Perhaps if you’ve made different edits you could include the different versions
Compress your edits using these (http://www.mediafactory.org.au/film-tv/post-production/) instructions – Premiere – Compression and Export for Online found on the Film-TV Blog. Then upload it to the relevant folder in the Studio shared google folder and paste a clickable hyperlink or embed it in your blog using the instructions here – follow all instructions – especially aspect ratio
3 The initiative post – This post is for you to research and write on anything related to the aims of the course. You could do some shooting and editing, then upload it to your blog and reflect upon it. Anything…. (minimum 500 words)
You could write about something technical – Exposure, White Balance, Focal Length etc.
You could write about some form of film or media – reality tv, the latest film you saw, your favourite tv show.
You could write about something you noticed – something on the tram the other day, something a friend of yours did etc
Hell, you could even write about something you saw on the internet – Good or bad – as long as you write on something that inspires you.
It must be reflective in nature and not just a description of something i.e. it must help you grow as filmmaker.
