Evaluation 1 and 2

Evauations are done! The end really IS near! So yes, here are the first two questions...

Question 1.



Question 2.

Media Showcase and Evaluation Stress!

MEDIA SHOWCASE

We had our Media Showcase where we showed an audience of teachers, students and friends our films.

Mac 1 went last and it was very nerve-wracking! We all spoke about our journey, the concept of 'Mourning' and the type of shots we used.
We asked Josh to come so that the audience could recognise him in the train time lapse shots, allowing them to grasp the concept easier.

It was a real success and we got some great feedback!

EVALUATION STRESS


I have finished answering my evaluation questions and have already filmed a few of my responses. I just need to film the rest and edit them so that digital evidence of what I'm talking about can be incorporated into the evaluation.

The end is upon us.

Showcase Update!

Lucy, Athena and I met up for Starbucks today (sophisticated, I know).
We wrote a rough speech and figured out who's saying what. We want the audience to know the loose concept of 'Mourning' and the relevance of the title and Josh being in every shot.
Hopefully they get it because if they don't.. Well, that's another matter. *evil laughs*

So yeah, that's happening on Thursday. Very exciting.

Thought I'd incorporate another form of media in this blog, being a Media student and all, so here is the soundtrack/song featured in 'Mourning':

Have a nice day :)

Titles vlog!

Thought I'd explain the whole 'Mourning' concept. Apologies for the crazy hair; I am fully aware that I look like Medusa.

Last minute change!!

After going through an examiner's report on Wednesday, the fact that we didn't put specific credits in 'Mourning' came to our attention.
Luckily, the deadline we had to meet a few weeks ago was a personal one, set by Miss Foster, to allow time for things like this to be rectified and, I'm guessing, so she doesn't lose her hair due to the stress of no one getting it done on time.

So yes, here is the vlog on what we changed and why:

Miss Foster being ever-so mature with a USB lead...

How it looks now:

MOURNING

I know this has been greatly anticipated since our fabulous prelim back in September/October, but the wait is over. It's here.



Athena, Lucy and I are so proud of Mourning and it's been so much fun!
The idea was originally just going to be a feel-good film about a girl on a train and now it's intricate, deep and damn right amazing, don't you think?
That maybe a little big-headed but I cant even elucidate how proud I am of Team Mac 1 for actually pulling it off. It's better than we expected and now I sound like I'm accepting an Oscar so before I go, shout out to my mum and dad for supporting me and Foster for her media-ness.

Peace.

Final film vlog!

Completely forgot to put this on at the time!!

The vlog Athena and I did after we uploaded our film (which will follow tomorrow)

COUNTDOWN

Strangely enough, I'm not scared about these countdowns! (Show me a countdown for my History exams, and I will cry you a river)

I think it's because I've been enjoying Media since September and had just great fun, so revising won't be a chore! I'm really confident in both Section A and B in the exam so that's always positive! My mock results gave me an extra boost too - where I got an A!! - so I've just got to keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully I'll come out with the grade I want :)

So yeah, the countdown:

 I can feel myself counting down the seconds as I write this...
