HERE ARE THE 5 BLOG POSTS THAT I BELIEVE BEST REFLECT ON MY EXPERIENCE OF THE MEDIA 1 COURSE Week 2 Connection // Noticing Media This connection entry was one of my first, and I think this is the one that truly sparked my initiative to take the Media 1 subject’s content, and apply it […]
Woah – what a time it has been. I can still remember my nervous self on the first day of university at RMIT, unfamiliar and unacquainted with the people and the place. But now I am here, 13 weeks later, familiar with the nooks and crannies of the campus and even more so with the […]
Started from the bottom, now we here: the last Media 1 Workshop evaaaaa. I think I’m going to kinda miss the people in my workshop – experiencing my first ever semester of university, it was nice too see the same faces every week on a Monday afternoon. But I’m sure I’ll work with some of […]
Again – this workshop involved ‘progress presentations’ of the groups working on PB#4. I feel as though these presentations were more consolidated than the last. Groups having firmer ideas and progressions to their projects. The feedback and discussions between the groups was really constructive, everyone helping everyone in trying to achieve the best possible outcome […]
More working on PB#4. Tim was bed-ridden with sickness today, but all was well in Room 11, Building 9 @ RMIT. The duo of Dan and I swapped research and stories involving our annotated bibliographies that now rest nicely in our Google Drive folder. We both now having a more fundamental and in-depth knowledge into […]
This week’s workshop involved lots and lots of brain-scratching and wrinkling. But more so, brainstorming. And we did this the best way we knew how: butchers paper and textas – loved it. As a group, we’re working together really nicely and functionally (winna) and getting closer to having a complete grasp on both the premise […]
Today’s workshop featured the presentations of Project Brief #3. I found it incredibly interesting (much like Project Brief 2) how everybody approached their media portrait. Who they chose to feature, how they decided on representing their chosen person through the elements of found and shot footage, and particularly how they chose to work their found […]
So basically I was too sick to function, let alone come into the city for uni, thus missing out on this session – sad times I know. But from what I’ve heard, everyone had fun roaming the streets using the Zoom H2N audio recorder. Which apparently holds no bias as to what noises it picks […]
Presentation day for Project Brief #2. Like the presentations of Project Brief #1, it was really interesting to see how everyone approached the task. People being of different skill and capacity of the numerous areas of arts and media, there was a variety in content and style of all of the videos – this saving […]
iiiiiiiiiiiiMovie time. This week’s workshop was devoted to making media – the first time this year (within class). Done so by creating a short video, consisting of completely found footage courtesy of archive.org. My table was given the theme ‘movement’, as the focal point of our video. At first I had trouble hunting down the […]
