While taking a break from my Asian essay, I checked out some of my classmates blogs (how stalkerish eh), just to see what people said about the screening. And I realise I forgot to mention some notable ones: The other 2 docos from people in my tute! Derby Days turned out better than the last cut … Continue reading »

A night of storytelling
Ok, I honestly almost forgot about posting this last blog post for film-tv2. Been too focused on reading up on transgenderism… ok that sounds dodgy. It’s for Asian essay! Anywho, the screening went well! SO much smaller a group than last semester but a good turnout nonetheless. Letters & Numbers / crossword puzzle dude David … Continue reading »
To Do: Make a doco. CHECK.
Last time making a film as an RMIT student. First time shooting and lighting a film. First colour grading job. Our first doco. Done. And I can’t wait to see everyone else’s on Thursday :) We’ve been chatting so much about so many blogable things the past weeks, just that by the time we get … Continue reading »
Closer to the edge
We’re very nearly done with the doco! Ruth and I had spent quite a while editing on Friday, and after she left I edited some more, then exported it. AND I came up with a brilliant idea to show it to people at my work today (all of whom are ex- or current media students, … Continue reading »
Slashing sessions
YO NINJA! (heh inside joke) It really is pretty darn true how we are and have been finding the ‘story’ of our doco in the edit suites, especially so for me during the past couple of days.

BACON & good editing
… Most likely the strangest title ever. But right now we’re watching a doco about pig hunting. Ok the girl in the film is annoying me. Why does she have to be in the film? And she sounds like a kid. I’d rather watch Dora the Explorer than her. Oops, haha. We also just watched … Continue reading »

Um, yeah, you know, I guess, but… yeah.
Very unfortunately, we didn’t actually do much shooting of B-roll yesterday cos’ the weather was so not ideal to head to St Kilda beach. So the only thing we managed to shoot yesterday was some B-roll of the Immigration Centre and some road/city stuff while it drizzled slightly. Then more rain came, so we went … Continue reading »
Finding your story inside
Today, Liam talked about POST PRODUCTION. He reminded us to watch every single frame of every shot, cos’ often it’s in the edit suite that we find our stories. And there’s a difference between knowing what we’ve shot, and knowing what we’re looking for. What makes a good cut in docos differ much from fiction … Continue reading »
“Where are you… “… going?
Today it was into the dungeons again! Am loving being back there, and I figure we’re gonna have to make ourselves comfortable cos’ that’s gonna be like 2nd home till this baby’s done. Anyways, I wouldn’t call today the first offline editing session but once we were done digitising all the footage, Ruth and I … Continue reading »
