reporting for duty

It’s report card season in elementary schools, and after a solid 6+ weeks of community building, continual conversations, and careful curriculum curation I now submit progress reports for 26 very unique and interesting learners. Does this read familiar to what you may have done since our September start? There is nothing like having to attach what basically amounts to a label on someone after…

Friday 14th November Final Videos submitted (All videos to be uploaded to Vimeo) SW + DH G04 Formative Crits

Video Summery 

My class and I had to present our video on Vimeo then discussed what we liked about our film, what we could’ve done to improve it and what we aim to do, to make our footage better. The movie that I presented was called ‘Edited Film: Movement – Plan’.

My video represents different stages of speed that vehicles move, as well as illustrating a comparison of transports moving faster than people. There were some positive points and negative areas in my film.

The duration of my video was 2 minutes and 26 seconds, which lasted too long. My footage was unstable because I didn’t use a tripod to support the stability of recording my film.

An example of a location, which I recorded, where the vehicles moved quickly, was a motorway. Recording several vehicles traveling along the motorway was the most successful part of my video. The dual-carriage way scene helped me to illustrate vehicles moving at high speed well, because the highway was long and wide enough, to allow any transport to have plenty of space to move fast.

One of the points raised at the formative assessment crit session, was the fact that I need to capture footage that focuses on roads and vehicles and nothing else, for anything else is a distraction. Playing around with the angles of my film, to create various effects to my film, will improve the quality of my video a lot.

I would engage my viewers better if I combine different perspectives of my footage, to edit, in order to create a professional looking video. I have enjoyed the process of creating my video so far. Based on how my film looked, I feel that there are some good parts to my film, however there is a lot for me to improve on.

Thoughts and Changes

Well it’s halfway through the second week of uni! only 12 weeks to go! But who’s counting?

Last week classes went well, got all the introductory things out of the way and started thinking about assessments, work load and creating a timeline of my project outcomes and goals for this semester.

This week I only went to uni twice, as my classes today were unfortunately unable to be conducted. I am…

Anthony Greenwald, of the University of Washington, and Mahzarin Banaji, of Yale University (now at Harvard University), have developed a unique and statistically powerful tool to identify and quantify either hidden or unconscious attitudes. The key to their approach lies in the way we associate words or images.

I will be honest...

Ok so far this whole blog / reflective journal thing is not going so well, one post for three weeks of work... but what have we done in that time, looked at how design works as a concept, had insight from what where two really interesting guest lecturers, looked at chairs and the way that design effects even the most basic of items, and discovered that I work best to a dead line... Design is a bit of a odd Subject, really, when you think about it, I can't say I have really learnt anything from the subject in the same way I have from my other subjects but I am taking in a huge amount of info. This begs the question , what am I taking in if I don't have any work to show for it? When I think about this I think that is the reason why the journal is the assement of choice, because we are learning the process and the way of thinking independtly that happens behind any good design. I mean sure anyone can design somthing, but it will be complete rubbish - defiantly not as good as it could have been- and that's what we are learning, to avoid. So back to what I am ment to be blabbing about, things actually discused in the lecture, I guess lecture two is a good as place as any to start. I will admit all the talk of non- linear designing made be excited, being a person who has used mind maps for note taking since grade 10 I already don't think in such a linear way ( it is fun showing them to other people just to watch them try to work out what is going on somtimes...), although even my thought have a linear side to them. It is odd that after going to school for 12 years to learn how to follow instructions ( and some skills I guess) and think thought things linearly that I am now been told that the best design is done in a only semi linear fashion. Does this mean that people who only achived average marks will do well in design? This concept of lose planning and structure makes perfect sense to me, while you need some structure to make sure you stay is the right direction their is no need to leave somthing in a - incorrect doesn't really fit here...- wrong-?- state if you can go back and redesign a section of it to make it better with the clarity of forsight. I think I need to post these closer to the lecture date stuff is starting to get a bit hard to remember, but in the next few weeks I hope to catch this blog up to the current matter been discused in lecture. Next up some of the activities! It shouldn't be to hard, I have a half hour train journey.....

What is a word, and what is design?

Design, what a complicated word, a word that can be used in a religious debate , or in a kitchen as much as in a factory making plastic chairs. Perhaps more important however, it is a word which I have to discuss on a blog for university. So what is design any way? Putting down ideas on a page? Throwing ideas at something till one sticks ? Making the hard seem obvious? Well Design all of these thing, in essence it's simply the ability to transport ideas into the realm of reality. Yet their is no winning method for Design, no five step plan -some say their is no method at all - it's about looking at all of the divergent ideas and through a process of combination and elimination to create a solution. With out this process any product will struggle to gain a solid footing, work load is increased and the functionality of the product can suffers, yet if it is done well it seems so simple everyone wonders why they didn't think of it first. So why do we have design? What is it here for? To help create the things that seem so simple, yet do exactly the right thing.
