thus the class is already more demanding than i thought. so i will have to put my GRPP work on hold, at least for today. the author of one less car emailed me today wondering what i thought of his book. how exciting! he is a continual inspiration in maintaining my punk/activist/radical academic approach to my job. he is donating all profits from his book to small, DIY bike advocacy groups. love.
single camera use
my friend, Mike Z. Newman, wrote a great conference paper on single shot camera use in situational comedies. i want to use his article when i teach media production. this may be a tough goal as the class is taught using only the multi-camera technique (mostly due to time constraints, as single-camera productions require much more pre and post-production). but the class allows for some critical analysis so i will try my best to integrate the article into class.
i am putting a lot of pressure on the class to foster some empowerment in myself as a media producer. it is a hard skill for women to gain, as it is within an industry silently keeping women on the sidelines. interestingly enough, the students in the class are mostly women. yay!
speaking of silencing women, today at a grad worker (graduate students who work for the university) meeting a man (or boy i should say) referred to some women on a conference call as "girls" and refused to name them. cue No Doubt's "i'm just a girl."
