AMAZING DAY AT Australian Centre For The Moving Image

Our current inquiry led us today to the Australian Centre for the Moving Image where we attended a lecture entitled, "Belonging." The discussion and film clips inspired us on our journey to make our own films for "Screen It," ACMI's annual filmimaking competition. Please enjoy our observations after each film clip

.."everyone can fit in.."
.."everyone was too busy to notice others..."
.."we need to take time to look around...
.."what is really lost in this story?"
..."the friend didn't leave the Lost Thing in the odds and ends place but persisted in finding it the place of belonging..."

My Place

 "when you have a friend, you don't care what others think and say that might be hurtful..."

..."if you were in this situation, how could you help others belong..."
...'offer encouragement, not avoidance..."
..."don't be a bystander when others need you..."
..."it can be so amazing when people feel they belong..."

 What factors do you believe contribute to feelings of belonging?

 Who is excluded in society today?                                                         

How can we as students be more inclusive...help others to belong.         

                                                                                                                              




                                                                             

                                                                                                                           

GREEN SCREEN TRIALS-FEEDBACK TIME

FEEDBACK PLEASE?  

We become used to just publishing our finished work, after all the trial and error! So why not show our first try-outs and ask for advice right from the start. These are our first efforts using green screen-we each had only a few minutes to prepare...we know there is so much more to learn and it would be wonderful to get advice from those of you who have used green screen. What can you tell us to help our practice develop?
