    I need suggestions..

    Before you ask us how much, you should ask yourself how much you are willing to spend.

    Equipment?

    cblok is right, many people undervalue sound and music. These two elements often contribute much more to the atmosphere of a film than anything you can do with video. If you have ever examined film in English or externally you may have encountered an exercise in which the music is altered...

    Machinima

    Machinima is just the same as any other video in terms of 'being an english piece'. Some people have difficulty accepting it because it relates to video games which are seen as low art. I'm linking the work back to the course through the content. My planned story is extremely post-modern and...

    Machinima

    Well first I better work out what positions I need before I start casting. But I'm sure I could use someone to play all the characters that die horrible, screaming deaths. :)

    It may be a little difficult not to be first with full marks :)

    Am I the only demotivated wreck here?

    Inspiration is not something that can be ignored. When you suddenly 'know' what you want to do it can be very difficult to put it aside to concentrate on maths assessments and economics essays. Extension 2 is just so different from other work that it is almost impossible to resist, and becomes...

    Ext 2 Study Day - Carlingford...

    The day was poorly organised but I did find it quite helpful. As you said the first speaker was quite funny and gave some great advice about the reflection statement among other things. In regards to that statement made about suicide and teen angst it probably is true. Suicide and teen angst...

    Creative Writing Prep

    At the risk of sounding like a teacher I will say that the best prep for creative writing is actually doing some, at least in my experience. Creative writing is all about the mindset. The faster you can switch to creative mode the easier it will be and the more fluid your writing will be. Also...

    Ext 2 Study Day - Carlingford...

    No problem. If it was you that emailed me on this subject it shouldn't be a problem. I just want to check with my friend to make sure that they don't mind me giving you their email address.

    I was just wondering if any of you have come across some high quality online resources in regard to any course content. If you have could you please post links here. I'll start it off with a link of my own: Writing in a Post-Modern Paradigm...

    Problems finding Board Docs regarding E2

    Good news, although probably too late to be of any assistance for us. I'm glad that my teacher is on-the-ball and has a few contacts inside the board, made getting my medium approved alot easier. The rules for this medium are going to be interesting though, half-way between multimedia and film...

    Problems finding Board Docs regarding E2

    While I couldn't actually find the EE2 syllabys despite finding it before, I did find marker's notes from 2004 that may provide some outline to what you should be aiming for. http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc_exams/hsc2004exams/pdf_doc/english_ext2_er_04.pdf The information your after...

    ee2 workshop march 19

    They certainly could have organised it better. Just a few signs saying 'Video workshop' or lecture hall --> would have been useful. Also the video room was over-packed. We had to borrow chairs from another room and the somehow move past all the people sitting down already. A bit of a tight...

    Ext 2 Study Day - Carlingford...

    During the first session I was sitting in the middle at the back, next to the man who assisted the speaker with the slideshow at first. During the second session I came in late and was sitting in the back right corner (bit of a challenge to get there). Remember me?
