Week 10

End of Week 10

# What was your plan for this week?

E.2 E.1 and E.2 part 2

# What did you actually do this week?

This week I organised to test the films with camera on the Monday 15th with a handful of students and also finilisde my testing methods.

however the test fell flat because no one showed up, the main door was locked for the start so no one got in and I lost a tester but no one else came after that

# If there are any differences between items 1 & 2, please explain why.

Things don't always go to plan

# What worked well this week?

I got a nice listen to my films in the cinema and wrote down soem thigns that need dealing with - its alright to make them sound good on monitors in my flat but Im testing them on the union cinema speakers.

# What did not work so well this week?

The test. I had the camera which was a last minute thing I managed to procure as the pd150's were out on loan which is the best ones we can use, had to settle for a small sony mini dv cam.

# What have you learned this week?

That its really hard to do a good honours project and do all the side ones I do. I mean really well as in first class honours because I will pass just not with what I had hoped.

# Describe all the items that have been added to your portfolio this week?

The test films and critique.

# Do you have any other comments to make?

There seems to be a fundamental flaw with education in higher thinking as in you need to research which is basically a hunt for proper knowledge but we are given a time limit and if you don't collect the porper information which is not exactly a straight forward task no indeed is it a one way street you are graded on what you have got.

Now some people get lucky and find exactly what they need, others inspirationless can't get started and others trawl through heaps of junk - is that truely fair? a human concept I know and not a realistic one but we do try to make everything as "fair" as possible.

Im not saying this from experience just from observation -guides are there I do not miss that fact but error is inherant and also the fundamental proposal of the task is misinterpeted and lost which is to seek out greater truth and experiment.
