GAME ON

This week our film to watch was Hi Score Girl, a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Rensuke Oshikiri. This film had a separation of sorts to the recent films we have watched in class, most likely it was the unique animation style and strange voice overs I haven’t experienced before that made itContinue reading “GAME ON”

Music Eases Our Pain

In my opinion, humans are hardwired to respond to music emotionally. Music is a form of art that conveys emotion, sentiment and perception without using language. Music is very important to me – it helps me relax, it lets me be sad, and sometimes a really good song will even give me butterflies. It’s all myContinue reading “Music Eases Our Pain”

We Are Family

At the beginning of this year I was fortunate enough to travel to Vietnam for the second time – a definite favourite country of mine. During my travels through this stunning country, I saw jutting green mountains, to rice fields, to bustling cities. I have ridden a motorbike through half of the country and justContinue reading “We Are Family”

How Do We Do What We Do?

What do I do? Well, I’m not a professional by any means, but I would love to explore the possibilities of working in the film industry. Isn’t that what uni’s all about? To find your ‘thing’? Your ‘passion’? This week I was asked to reflect on a past project of mine and relate it toContinue reading “How Do We Do What We Do?”

Love, Sex, Religion?

While watching Andibachtiar Yusuf’s film ‘Love For Sale’, I couldn’t help but notice many cultural differences between myself and the cast. There were certain parts of the film that portrayed relationships very differently to what I would usually expect. Some key scenes that demanded my curiosity occurred when Richard started reflecting on his past relationshipContinue reading “Love, Sex, Religion?”

So… What’s The Plan?

In this first week of my capstone subject, BCM304, I have been asked to reflect on where I want to work, what field, and what skills I would like to apply to my working life. This is something I have always struggled to answer because there’s a lot of things I would like to do.Continue reading “So… What’s The Plan?”

BCM212 Reflection

The research process and the opinion piece were both challenging and rewarding. It was relatively successful and I gained a lot of knowledge about my topic. In my opinion, the methods of interviewing and surveying were both valuable methods, as they enabled me to obtain data I was not expecting, and enabled me to goContinue reading “BCM212 Reflection”

My Digital Artefact – Where Do I Start?

For my subject BCM114, the main project of the subject is to create a ‘digital artefact’ (DA) – which could be anything I make or do, and promote it online. At first, I thought this would be difficult and time consuming – “ugh what a drag!”. Now, the more I think about it – perhapsContinue reading “My Digital Artefact – Where Do I Start?”

BCM322 Reflection Statement

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7iuvsPvP2M I thoroughly enjoyed my time creating this DA focused on Ai Weiwei. I believe I was successful in showing how Ai Weiwei uses new media and communication technologies to communicate with his followers and they way he uses it to spread his advocacy message. Additionally, I portrayed Ai Weiwei’s passion for social mediaContinue reading “BCM322 Reflection Statement”
