BVA603 - Week 10



17/09/2019


 Reflecting back on the minutes of the last committee meeting
In the videos that Bo and Luqman have released on social media, it showed me that they are delivering serious and professional content as said in the last committee meeting, and not instead doing humorous silly content for social media in promoting this event.
We have fulfilled goals as suggested in the last committee meeting like putting up the event logo up on as the profile pictures for the event's social media accounts, teaser posts of the event coming soon, starting to promote the event on social media, and retrospective from past winners by interviewing them (which the marketing team has succeed in since).

 I guess we will be talking promotional distribution this week in the marketing subcommittee meeting this week, as per suggested in the minutes of the last committee meeting.

Subcommittee meeting minutes




Committee meeting
It was good having a good look at the design that have been done and we made a decision as a class on what design we are going to use for the event. 
We also had a chat with Ash on things to keep in mind about using Centrestage for the film festival. We don't have to worry much about what goes on in the theater, but more should direct our focus on thew foyer.

 As for marketing, the class were impressed by the efforts made on social media and growing number of page likes (increasing from last year) and the Chair had received positive feedback about the social media progress for the event from Kathryn. 
Filming an interview
I helped Bo with filming an interview of a third year visual arts student / past Think and Create winner. I helped by trying to sort out the lighting, which took me a long time to remember how to sort it out and the same happened with sorting out the sound equipment.

 Ultimately, I worked on Sound. I made sure that sound levels were correct, which between -6 and -12db (that's the sweet spot) and it was good thing that I brought along my own headphones because I needed them to do my job as sound mixer. What was new to learn for me was figuring out the Mk-50 boom since I'm more familiar with the shotgun boom.

BSA731 - Exhibition 2

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 ...
