PhotoMalawi

I keep working on my video skills. Tigris is in Lilongwe this week, so I picked up an older project: the documentary about photographer Ronald Dula. Yesterday he photographed a wedding (on a Thursday!) I filmed him, and understandably, the couple want to have a video. So I spent this morning doing something I thought I would not easily do: edit a wedding video. It is a bit of a strange wedding video, because it looks at the wedding from the view of the photographer. That makes sense for my project, I wonder what the couple will think of the video.

After the wedding (actually I had to leave early) I taught my class at the Polytechnic. They came up with some interesting ideas for their photo story. Next week they will come with the photos. I can't wait to see what they make!

After that we had a long meeting with the staff of the journalism department of the Poly. We went over all the exam questions, to see if we can help each other improve the exam quality. This was useful for e, because many of the lecturers are more experienced than I am, before I only taught at diploma level, and degree level is a different story. There were a few exams that I would have failed. I hope my students are not more advanced than I am. With photojournalism, that will be ok, but they must know a lot of material to pass. Very interesting questions, which I cannot reveal before the exam.
