Digital Media: Chapter I Part I: Introductions and Covering Topics in Class

We were introduced to the paper today and looked at the handbook a bit, although still not 100% on where things overlap with Research or how our work will be marked.

We had to present our idea to the class - which I covered in this blog, presenting my idea and proposal presentation:

I did a hack job of it in class but told everyone my question for the year and gave an example of what kind of movie I could make, I am still not sure which one I will decide on for this paper, they require some more development each.

Those projects can be found here:

Screen Arts III Chapter I Review I: Brawl in Cell Block 99

For ages now I've wanted to watch the movie Brawl in Cell Block 99 , the title sound offputting and looking at the hard copy cover art makes that name seem even more like a shitty grindhouse movie than it did. However the director is what intrigued me so much about the project, he is a writer turned director who makes movies on his own accord, fully auteurist. These posters are so fucking bad, they do the movie an injustice. I was interested in the movie because of the rave reviews it had gotten and because of his previous debut feature: the western horror Bone Tomahawk . I didn't think an amazing amount of the movie upon first seeing it but have come to see the great parts about it because of the number of YouTubers who sing its praises. Red Letter Media made a video that cemented the movie as unique and special in my mind, and encouraged me further to check out the directors' other work: Finally, I was pushed over the edge by what I heard abo...

Internship: Chapter I - Southern Smash 2020

On the 1st and 2nd of February, I was approached to film a disc golf competition (Southern Smash 2020) held in Queen's Park for The DGS (Disc Golf South) Facebook Page. Following in the steps of SIT Graduate Matthew Butler, I not only got offered the job through his connections in the disc golf community and his involvement in the competition itself, but I also asked him to show me what he produced for the last year and what kind of settings he used on the FS5 (the camera that I got hired out for the event from SIT Pro). I also had to meet with the leader of the Disc Golf South institute, Jonny Ferrari. I met with him some days before the filming to talk to him about what he wanted with the video: he told me what Matthew did the last year was fine and that I could just do whatever I wanted. The assessment boiled down to just roughly documenting the tournament and editing together a montage of sorts showing the players doing their thing. Southern Smash 2019 Video: https:/...

Research III: Chapter I Part VI: Theoretical Text I - Alistair Fox & Essay Planning

In Part VI we take a look at Alistair Fox's book Coming of Age Cinema in New Zealand : Genre, Gender and Adaptation as my first theoretical text. I went to the City Library to look for some books about writing or filmmaking that might be related to my question, I found this one focusing on New Zealand Coming-of-Age Cinema and after reading some of the introduction I thought it would be a good option as one of my theoretical texts (even if what the author is writing on is about a genre which I don't intend to focus on). Unfortunately, I was unable to take out the book as it is a reference copy only, they told me I could scan specific pages of interest but I just snapped some photos with my phone of the sections I found most relevant to my own study. Function of Films Fox focuses on the Coming-of-Age film but he says some very interesting things when discussing the function of these films. When reading I considered the possibility that what he is saying might app...
