Although this subject is focused around ultimately producing a music video, I really see opportunity throughout the course to reinforce and in expand on some of the skills I have learnt throughout my degree. With music video production making up the final credit points required in my entire Bachelor of Communications (Media) degree, I feel that it provides the perfect opportunity to test out some of what I’ve leant over my three years studying. It is exciting to think that we are going to be able to produce something for a real client and being able to experience working for a client before going out into the real world myself will be an extremely valuable experience.

I have made several short films as part of various subjects throughout my time at RMIT and during this course I really hope to expose myself to areas of production that I have shied away from in the past. I know that it can be easy to allow others who are more comfortable with or have more experience with certain aspects to take over, but I really want to take the opportunity over this summer to learn more about the things I am less familiar to enable myself to develop a wider range of skills.

Ultimately, I am really excited about taking this course, not (only) because it marks the beginning of the end of my degree, but because it provides the perfect platform to experiment and showcase what I have learnt. With week one already complete, and so much already accomplished I am ready for whirlwind that will undoubtedly be summer semester and I can’t wait to see what comes out of it!
