After two weeks of summer break, I am finally back to blogging! I think ever since that intensive course with Networked Media, I found that blogging isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Anyways, let’s move along to the topic for today!
Online. Video. Experiments – Experimenting videos that are available on the Internet. I picked this class to learn the various online videos practices. I believe that with technology these days, the videos online are spreading like wildfire. I want to understand the hype of all these.
I came into class with an empty mind, I probably ended class with an empty mind as well. I have to admit that this studio concept is all new to me that it probably was a little confusing. Just a little recap.
1) We are having a new learning concept – ‘practice based research’.
2) We will be doing blog reflections to keep our research progressing daily
NUMBER ONE! The thing that caught my interest is that we would be experimenting on online video practices. That means we make an online video from scratch and research on it instead of just analysing past projects. My lecturer had mentioned something related to this practice before and it opened my learning tremendously. Copying someone’s style of editing is not cheating but more of a learning process and if you are more creative, find easier and a more effective way to edit it.
NUMBER TWO! Seth had mentioned in class about the importance of reflection. I find this technique rather useful. It is just writing things that comes to your head to keep it visible for you. The good thing about these reflections are they are not formal academic writings and you can always come back to edit the information or add more when you come across the same topic again.
