BVA603 - Week 15


22/10/2019


 I have been sick since late last week, but I have managed to have enough energy to get to campus today. I'm still a bit unwell and even though I cannot afford to take it easy, I will have to take it easy.

 I do have some BTS photos for Bo to post from my weekend shoot, but I'm holding it off because of complications to do with the completion of the entry for BSA231 and I don't know whether those in the photos are 100% okay with them being put up on social media. I am also concerned about the completed entry not living up to my artist statement.

 Reflecting on last week's minutes
It's good to know that progress is being made on promoting Think & Create in the local media, but we hope we hear back from any of them very soon. I think its good idea to contact a student that works in SIT marketing like Elaine because she mainly works on the website and could almost be like our liaison to see if marketing will promote the event on the SIT website.

 Bex messaged myself and the rest of the marketing team in Invercargill (Bo and Luqman) on sending a poster of Think & Create to Kathryn, so she can promote the event through the local arts society and SIT. This is not something in my position I could do because I'm more into the VIP emails and I'm still yet to hear back from Britney on her progress with sending out the emails.

 I have finally heard back from Britney. She has currently managed to send VIP emails to everyone, except Tim Shadbolt. She has been focusing more on her health this week, which I can understand because that's what I have been doing as well.

 Bo reminded us on Discord last night that there are still plenty of posters for Think & Create left. I have asked him in person today where they are and he told me. I intend to drop one off to Liz Craig's office (local Labour List MP and one of our VIPS).

 I have designed a poster of my BSA231 short film that is also one of my entries for Think & Create. I will send it to Bo once I have reorganised out my artist statement.

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 ...
