Today we had our first shoot for our documentary – which in itself is exciting – with RMIT teacher of psychology, Armen! Like the great media film students we are, we arrived on location more than half an hour early, which gave us plenty of time to set up, have things go wrong, and troubleshoot [...]

Visual Staahhhhyle

25, Aug 2012

I’ve been thinking about the visual style that I’d like our documentary to employ – trying to visualise what the end product will look like. With our overriding theme being swearing, I feel that our film will take on somewhat more of a youthful, contemporary style – clean, sans serif fonts and nice use of [...]

Observational exercise

23, Aug 2012

For this week’s class exercise, we had the task of producing a short observational video on whatever there was to observe. So, we hit the halls and set our sights on the building 9 common area, formally known as, the Nucleus. Unfortunately, there was a slight glitch in our imagination switch, so we opted for [...]

On Wednesday, my group and myself headed down to Check Point Charlie Comedy to scope out the Melbourne comedy scene and see if we could find someone to be part of our documentary, ‘Unprofane Profanity’. Thankfully, as a naturally brilliant producer, Bec set off to do the always dreaded task of speaking to managers. With [...]

OUR F***ING TREATMENT

22, Aug 2012

“Un-Profane Profanity”
“Profanity is acceptable whenever the person using it thinks it is. Words are words. Some offend people. Some don’t. But they all are just collections of sounds and, in print, letters, that we attach connotations to. If you get offended by hearing the sound “fuck,” bummer if you hear it. I get offended when [...]

Here is my online identity – my cyber homes and my trio persona (student, personal and professional selves) – in map form. How exciting!

When I first created my Instagram account, the sole purpose for doing so, was that I could apply a cool vintage filter over my photos. Simultaneously, I had no real awareness of how popular Instagram was as an actual social networking platform, and basically just thought other people had the same mentality – predominantly just [...]

Interview Exercise

16, Aug 2012

So this week, we had a little bit of fun doing the Interview exercise in class, putting emphasis on the ‘fun’ since we got to watch Bec act as a slutty little rebel child straight out of ‘World’s Strictest Parents’. We later learned, that we probably should have filmed a topic that was actually based [...]
