In preparation of Tuesday’s task of recreating a movie scene, I compiled a Guardians of the Galaxy scene shots list of shots for my groups chosen scene from Guardians of the Galaxy.

My first week as a student of Multimedia Performance has passed and in all honesty, it was a lot more accessible then I had anticipated. The concept of this type of performance, wherein alternative styles and methods are utilized (e.g. Site Specific Performance) can be difficult for me to grasp, let alone thrive at. However as I possess a background in camera and media work, the use of cameras during the first seminar allowed me to engage with the work in a way that I was hoping for. By experimenting with cameras, different lighting and projection not only allowed me to play to one of my strengths, but also gave me the opportunity to build on my knowledge and aim it in new and creative ways.

Even during the second seminar, which involved discussing three readings on Multimedia (that, in all honesty, I did find quite taxing and without a great deal of reward since there wasn’t a lot of information that I sound to be particularly insightful or useful) went very smoothly with the discussion of Multimedial terms and their definitions, such as Transmediality (one medium, a book, being transferred to another medium, film) Multimediality (multiple medium being viewed or heard without relying on each other) and Intermediality (two mediums that are dependent on each other). With a positive first glimpse into Multimedia Performance I look forward to what comes next in this module.
