Exam Files

Below you will find a link to a .zip file which contains all the media and instructions you need to do the technical exam. The file is 88MB so will take a while to download. Also it is currently sitting on a server I pay for in the United States so will be much slower [...]

Big Dave as PodCast

David Weinberger is a Fellow (that’s a formal title, it doesn’t mean he’s a man) at the Berkman Centre. This is a collection of his talks, as podcasts, from the centre. Well worth listening to, and note that with the CC licence they have you could use these in your projects….

Sound-and its meaning

Sound-and its meaning:

Sound is one of the most important aspects in film making. In this little project, it is amazing to see how sound can enhance the meaning to a film. Watching the film with its ambient sound doesn’t quite evoke the same emotions when watching it with the piano music.

PLEASE DON’T TOUCH!

BENNY BENSON (Video):

This is an excerpt from a short film I made in 2004 called “Tee-Off”.
The golfer’s lips and sound is meant to be out of sync. I did it because the guy is meant to be from Sweeden. So he can’t speak in English. Also, I think that little detail makes it funnier to [...]

How Do I Submit the Draft?

The draft should be published via your blog. It should also be submitted on CDROM. The CDROM should contain the movie, the media folder, the eZedia project file, and a copy of your statement.

How Much of The Book Should We Use?

Depends on how you use the book. If you are doing a close or critical reading of a passage, it would be reasonable to expect you to use quite a few parts of the relevant chapter or the book. However, if you used a passage just to launch off to explore something else, then that [...]
