Peter Jackson's new WWI documentary looks fantastic. #JCUHons

[Michael Agius @MichaelAgius_]

@EmilyMackie11 Check out this TED talk I found, maybe you could use atmospheric audio in a similar fashion for your seminar?

If you want an enthralling, visceral read of accounts of persons during WWII, check out Studs Terkel's 1984 book 'The Good War' #JCUHons

Pretty nice tips here for designing a poster, could definitely be adapted to academic posters. https://t.co/g1x96sPKNZ #JCUHons

This is fact. #JCUHons

Interesting points made by Lupton, Mewbern, and Thomson (2018). The influence of the MOOC teaching structure was certainly apparent in my Bachelor of New Media Arts. #JCUHons

@thebardhiphop Yes mate, I'll check it out!

McNiff (1998) speaks at length about one of the discussion topics of todays class in his book 'Art-based research'. It's currently checked in at Cairns campus if anyone is interested. #JCUHons

Kouvaros (2017) makes a positive argument regarding the amalgamation of film studies into a broader, new media pedagogy. He proposes that the combination of film, photography, writing, and other studies observed by many tertiary institutions benefits students. #JCUHons

@EmilyMackie11 I've looked at a few magazines but am leaning towards a journal. #JCUHons

Errante (2000) discusses many topics which are relevant to my creative project as well as my article, such as the ‘voice’ of film. In my article, I discuss four types of ‘voice’ in documentary, and how these work together in a tiered hierarchy. #JCUhons

[Michael Agius @MichaelAgius_]

@ryandanielJCU There certainly is, which I discuss in my paper 'Making Oral Histories from Borneo accessible: Engaging with the Voice of Documentary'.

[Michael Agius @MichaelAgius_]

The matter of Objectivity is closely related to my creative output. It would be rather easy to skew the narrative of my collaborative documentary in the interest of favouring audience impact. Rather, I am aiming to present these stories in a non-biased, authentic form. #JCUhons

@EmilyMackie11 I know what you mean. Music in high school was limited in my experience as well. #JCUhons

"Education for economic growth", an intriguing yet devastating concept for the arts and humanities sectors, coined by M Nussbaum in her 2010 book "Not For Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities". This very concept has directly affected my studies - just ask me in class!
