Personal Learning

On Friday we had a session about Notebooks and The Futurists. I already knew a little about them but the lecturer covered the painters rather than the musicians such as Luigi and Antonio Russolo. On my previous course I had a lecture about the Russolo brothers and Dadaists such as Kurt Schwitters. The Futurists and the Dadaists were all about the new and getting away from the norms and traditions.

The Real Nicholas White Interview

On the 24th of October, several of us had a phone interview with Mark Fox who is an experenced editor who has edited programs such as Big Cat Diary and Heatwave. While other members of the group were taking their turns to interview, we had a showreel to watch which highlighted some of the projects that he had worked on. After we had finished the phone interviews a producer and director called Nicholas White came in to talk to us about what he does and his experinces in the multimedia industry. When we asked him questions he give us a lot of detail and explained everything relevant to that question and subject. One thing he brought up every chance he got was that you have to have social skills in this industry. He seems to have a quite relaxed leadership style, and would tell whoever he is working with what he wants and lets the person use thier own skills and creativity to give the required outcome. I'm going to upoad the interviews onto here soon.
