Ang.Crilley

I go by Ang. I’m studying Networked Media Productions and I’m a first year at UC. I’m doing a double degree in Arts/Media Arts and Productions and would ultimately like to be working in the film industry as a director or editor.  Preferebly a director. Only over the past few years have I developed an intense interest in this area, and become actively involved in pursuing.

As discussed through lectures, the internet is obviously a continually expanding and growing resource for publishing and marketing all sorts of media via various websites such as ‘YouTube’, and having said this learning a little about the industry and how it works seems completely relevant to myself and what I want to achieve. This unit has already given me knowledge that prior to commencing I was oblivious – well maybe not totally oblivious but not well informed. Unawares to tools such as RSS and blogospheres, I’ve already found their uses gratifying. Unless you count myspace or facebook, I am a ‘virgin blogger’ and have found this new phenomenon rewarding already. Blogs seem to encompass news, interest and entertainment, amongst all the other thousands of categories available on the net, with more personal views and opinions that can link back to direct sources.

I’ve found a few blogs that I’ve already subscribed too, and a few random web sites that have some interesting things on it. The film clip above is the winning short film for the 2008 New York Tropfest Competition. ‘Mankind Is No Island’, it’s good. I like the simplicity of it, and the complimentary contrast between both Sydney and New York.
