This disruption in the timetable has made it hard for our group to solidify a good time to meet as well as allowing us to polish our ideas […]

Read more "blog #54: seedy sunday"What a great day! Today’s tute was dedicated to filming our Game Scope segment for Brief 4… and what a success it was.

I’m so proud of […]

Dan, today’s lecturer, played some very interesting videos to keep us all engaged, intertwining it with some academic research. He then gave us an activity, to listen to Girl Talk’s song This Is The Remix and then to list as many song samples that we could find. I […]
Read more "blog #46: sampling samples"Today each individual group had to present their prototype or a rough outcome idea for their Brief 4 presentation. Everyone’s outcomes are coming along really nicely, it was good to see what others were doing as well to provide a little inspiration and motivation for my group, Team Forte’s, final media artefact. My group, after […]
Read more "blog #40: final cut"Today, my group met up for a fairly extensive meeting to discuss the filming, script and production of our final piece: Brief 4.
