 Videojug. (2009, June 15). How to run a meeting [Video file]. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3a0KbM5p9A


Prepare - reasons why you have a meeting and what aim to achieve from the meeting
Icebreaker - introduce yourself to each other to get to know each other.
5 minute bell - Bring a bell to limit discussions from an individual
Minutes - bring along someone to be a notetaker
Keep people informed about the outcomes of the meeting.

 We need to have a level of confidentiality. The reason why we have confidentiality is because it's professional and gives a wow factor to the end result.

 We did postpone the filming from last week, but we didn't get the filming booked for today. We can't leave it until next week because it would leaving it only one week before the event takes place.

 Bo had an idea of us shirtless and in orange body paint with the SIT logo on our foreheads, but only Bo wants to do it. However, it was a group decision.

 We would need to film the interviews with students on the main campus before the next class. I will be unable because I have things to take care of for my dad until Sunday, in relation to the art awards.


Jobs in the industry that I would like to do

  • Film / Video Editor for film and television / marketing, advertising, or businesses
  • Camera Operator for live TV
  • Film archivist (e.g. Nga Taonga Sound & Vision)
  • Director

It was difficult to find job on The Big Idea, Indeed and Careers NZ that suited me, so I ended up with four, instead of six. I would desire being employed in the South Island, preferably Christchurch or Dunedin.

 Film / Video Editor and Camera Operator are industry position that are more desirable because they're ones that come to mind for when I finish studying film here and are the most realistic positions to get with my current skills and experience.

 I managed to work on the cover letters for positions at NEP New Zealand and SKY TV, but didn't get around to proof reading them. I printed out copies of the cover letters and my resume, so that I can proof read them at home because I don't have Adobe software at home or on my own laptop.

 I managed to proof read the cover letters and my resume myself. However, there wasn't any skills worth removing or adding to the resume, but I did remove my qualifications in digital design and photography because they're really just diplomas in graphic design and have not much relevance to the job positions. 

 I did think about communicating (or communication) with others being skill, but anyone can do that so I didn't think it was worth adding to the resume and I believe it is less important than the skills already on the resume.

 I managed to type in the changes I had in mind for the cover letters and my resume.

 Modified resume

BSA731 - Exhibition 2

Image
22/06/2020 'Buffering' Exhibition We forgot about having the exhibition map done and sent to Kathryn last Friday. We will keep that in mind for our next exhibition. I reminded the groups, especially the design team about the sandwich boards at the RAW Gallery that could be used to promote the exhibition There was confusion over submitting prints to be printed for our exhibition. I wasn't sure where to send it to for printing, to Rachel (like the L7 animation students) or James. I did however send the TIFFs of my prints to James just in case. Rachel informed us about placing our prints on foam core, it's a type of foam board that also sticks to the wall. There is a catch though, we have to cut them and stick our print(s) to the foam core ourselves. I gotta say that a print looks better on foam core than on its own. Rachel also warned us to have confidence while cutting the foam core or otherwise the edge will look uneven and rough. This will be quite challenging ...

Digital Video - Lockdown Week 4

Image
15/04/2020 I heard back from James and gave his advice on my concerns, which is that I look for images and footage of the climate strike by school student and use that as B-roll.  B-roll is not always meant to be of a good quality. I may research into potential ethical considerations on consent for using other people's work.  James reckons I will be fine with going ahead with this as long as I focus on what the subject is about and interviews with key players. I could use their work and have interviews in voice-over, however I will consult with the course outline to double check what is required of me to do for my film project. He also reckons my main concern is not being able to film climate strikes, which was only part of the problem. However, the B-roll could still convey drama and urgency depending on its content. I will email James back and ask whether he could call me and we can talk about it properly like I did with Traci.  James is a...

BVA703 Research - Lockdown Week 3

Image
10/04/2020 At midnight brushing my teeth, I suddenly came up with options to capture amongst the crowd stuff to convey urgency of my subject, what if it could achieved with green screen or animation.  Green screen would be a big undertaking and would require each person being filmed individually with a long lens, which would be potentially too consuming on time and resources. A long lens would be necessary to feed into post-COVID-19 health and safety. Animation would require at least one animator depending on the time needed to animate sequences needed. The sequence would ideally be in a sketchy style similar to  Stay Close  or  Dear Basketball .  I would need to think carefully about this since it would need to not disrupt the style and tone of the live-action parts. The animation would need to be in sequences to limit the workload of the animator and I don't want it all animated because that's beyond me and letting animation students ...
