The prompt to me was quite thought-provoking, so I enjoyed making this video. I have a small flat and a lot of hobbies, and fill all my time juggling between them, work & study. Contemplation is something I do whilst still enjoying my hobbies, whether that’s reading, drawing, diving into the story of a game, […]

Week Twelve: Finalising & Reflection
How did you address the prompt: How can we make documentary which engages in new ways of representing and experiencing the environment? One thing I really tried to play up was an immersive experience. I tried to craft a lot of sound design into the film, and areas that I let breathe within the film without […]

Ecocinema doesn’t just involve documenting the environment, but it’s also studying and being aware of our environmental impacts within the industry and producing cinema with respects to this (Hughes 2014). We looked at two films in relation […]
Week One: Documenting The Environment
This week in class, we explored the ideas of what constitutes as a documentary. To me documentaries are not a black and white clear cut genre of cinema. We have mockumentaries, crime, environmental, educational and purely entertainment. Through all these various forms of media, we are showing a culture of time, place and society. Whether […]
