GO OUT INTO THE WOLRD AND DO GREAT THINGS – WEEK 5

This week we had to present our first assessment task for our studio which was to make a video essay. I wasn’t entirely sure what a video essay was so I was a little confused in the week leading up to this one. As it turns out, a video essay is essentially a just a film that incorporates all your ideas and concepts and combines them with accompanying footage, text and imagery. It’s essentially a trailer for the film you’re going to make. We made these video essays to demonstrate the direction we’re heading with our documentaries. Everyone’s essays films were really outstanding, making me wish I’d tried a bit harder with mine. I feel really unmotivated about my documentary topic this week, especially seeing all the different concepts everyone else in our class has come up with. My essay film didn’t really do a great job of conveying my ideas.
