Well, we're officially the Late Bloomers of the bunch. Alex & Jen's group had feedback to offer on their first day of shooting, which apparently went well. They went down and filmed a dramatised sequence for their piece - which is basically an overview of how modes of communication have evolved, and how the prevalence of web-based mediums (eg: MySpace, Skype, FaceBook) has made it easier for people living away from home to remain out of their country... I'm sure it's well-trodden ground, but I do like the fact that they are adding in little experimental, stylistic extras to jazz the subject matter up, and give it a unique feel.
I think David is officially skeptical of our project, since everything to date has seemed so touch n go... Hopefully by this time, next week, some of that skepticism will be eliminated.
We did, at least, have the concert footage available for him to view and some pictured to peruse. At least everyone knows our subject is real! Unfortunately Anthony left drive #32 at home so we weren't able to transfer any of the stuff, but will get the DVD-tape thing happening at some point before Friday so all that we need to craft the rough cut will be at our fingertips. Don't want to be stuffing 'round at the last minute, considering how 'last minute' the filming process itself is beginning to feel... deep breaths.
About Me
- Ariel
- Melbourne, Australia
- I'm a fourth-year (Honours) Professional Commie.. err.. Communication student at RMIT. I'm pretty well obsessed with any form of media you can throw at me, and have massive interests in politics, public relations, philosophy and basically anything artsy/wanky. I have an unnatural love of theorising things, so most of what you read is likely to consist of heavied doses of inane drivel. BUT! Look on the bright side - at least most of it's humourous, and has a point hidden in there somewhere (though don't ask me to explain what it is, most who read this know me and are thusly mindful of my soapbox tendencies!).
