blog #48: D-DAY

Tomorrow is the big day, filming my final assignment! I’ve completed my set jobs, which were the researching of sound as a medium, as well as completing the script and getting the graphics done for Game Scope and Head to Head. Overall I’m really happy with the direction that our assignment has taken, Brief 4 […]

blog #27: socially stalking

Without a doubt today’s tutorial inspired me to try harder in the area of film editing. There was such a high standard set today by everyone, so to try and match that was hard. I felt as though, while everyone’s films were of an impeccable standard, Jac’s Brief 3 on his friend and fashion designer […]

blog #26: don’t hold back

Today’s tutorial was all about showing each other’s videos, and then giving criticism and feedback on our Brief 3 videos. The following is each of my friend’s thoughts on my video, as well as a link to their own Brief… Elise She loved the way that I interviewed my Yiayia, and the story that was […]

blog #25: confucius say

Today’s lecture really threw me for a loop, I understood quite little of everything that was discussed… and having a look over Brief 4, I can only add to that confusion. The use of stringent media terms made today’s lecture turn into one big blur. I tried my hardest to understand the key concepts discussed, […]

blog #23: lost in translation

Today I completed, shot, produced, filmed, wrote (trying to think of other movie roles to make me sound professional when I’m really not) and EDITED (nailed it!) my Brief 3 film on my grandmother, Panayiota Grigoriou. My Yiayia, grandma in Greek, suffered through the loss of her parents due to war and unfortunate circumstances, was forced […]

blog #21: plans

Having absolutely no experience with cameras and recording, Elise, Steph, Gianna and I had a little information and planning session for Brief 3 where Elise also taught us how to function the Sony MC50 camera. I found the whole planning session extremely informative as I was able to experience something other than my iPhone camera […]

blog #19: FATE: A JOURNEY

After what could have arguably been the longest day of my entire life I have finally finished my 1 minute piece for Brief 2 of the Self-Portrait assignment. It’s not pretty, it’s not overly artistic and it most certainly won’t win an Academy Award… but I put in 100%. Honestly, I’ve never had more issues […]

blog #17: cut/copy

I’ve known for about 3 years now that once I leave university, and am qualified to be a part of the workforce, I would love a career in the media industry. More specifically, broadcasting is where my heart lies. Something about interacting with others, being out and about, relaying information, and being liked excites me. […]

blog #14: does this hat suit me?

Today’s tutorial was purely focused on our Brief 1, our self-portraits. Today we spoke on each individual table talking about our own media artefacts. We were asked to put on 1 of 4 different hats as we passed judgement, criticism and positivity on everyone’s work. The hat feedback system, as founded by De Bono, is […]
