There weren’t any critiques of my work this week, but I did have a few discussions. The main topic of discussion was the shift and a return to the personal in my work. It was generally agreed that it could prove a successful method of working.

Researching other documentary filmmakers and reading up on personal documentaries provided some hope that there is a way to tell an interesting story while still creating a critical dialogue.

I want to begin shooting footage, recording meeting conversations and compiling the mass amount of data as I collect it. First, I need to find my voice recorder.

• What did you achieve in your studio this past week?

To create and begin to understand a plan for my work this semester.

• What has been an artistic failure this week?

I still have not shot anything.

• What was the most profound thought in relation to your practice this week?
