Post Production

 

Post production! We are getting close now. This week has been crazy and I can imagine in the week coming it will be the same. We have worked separately on our own things this week for example what we each want to talk about and bring to the video. I have perfected my speech and got it down to 45seconds. 

We have our interview completed and, the statistics of our survey are in which you will hear all about in our video. We each got a copy of how the survey went that Kailan made, and wow the responses were incredible. From us sharing it to creative digital media year one and two, and to our Instagram pages. Our friends from each social media group really helped us out by taking the time to complete this survey, and we are super appreciative of that. 



Even though this is a group project we are still in the middle of a pandemic and with some lectures/labs being put online, and people having to self isolate because of sickness(which to no fault of their own) it has been most difficult to try organise times to complete certain tasks we wanted to. This is when we decided to give each person a part to work on during the week so we can then bring them together and chat over the likes of snapchat. 

This week I focused on getting my part in order and finalizing my speech. I feel like I have been the organiser of the group, everyone is doing a great job in getting their work done and it is all working well. When I say I feel like the organiser I don't wish to take that from anyone else however I feel like the "mammy" as such,  for example; writing the lists, organising times and making sure each person has an idea of what they're contributing to the group on each week. 

I am so looking forward to learning about editing as this will be my first ever time to edit down a video that will be posted to YouTube. I am very thankful to my group for their patience with me as many of them have a great idea how to edit a video where I only know how to edit images. This whole thing is a huge learning curve for me from the title of this project right down to editing. I have been super excited about the whole thing however at the beginning couldn't have been more scared. I believe it will all work out.

Reading Techniques

I have read two articles on reading techniques, one helped us to learn and understand critical reading techniques and the other was on active reading, both feeding us mountains of information with how we can get work/study done in a more sufficient way. When I read about critical reading techniques, I found it to be very insightful for future readings/study. You should always know what you are reading was a point that really stood out to me because in truth not everyone does. From my own experience of secondary school majority of people would be asking their friends what topic/page we were on, because they had lost track due to their lack of understanding. School subjects are so broad that you aren't going to be the best in every class but you also shouldn't be afraid to raise your hand when you do not understand something. But with time confidence grows.  In the article it states that it is key to make sure you're in a comfortable space. Library's are amazing for this ...

Digital Media

Today I will be writing a blog about three videos I watched based on digital literacy, what it is?why it matters? And the elements of digital literacies.    Digital media to me consisted of things like my phone/laptop/iPad and how I have the access to a wide range of information. The video made me think about how much has evolved within digital media for things like how quickly we can access information we are not even looking for, for example advertisements before YouTube videos. Another scary thing can be how others get caught up in what people are portraying online that we almost forget to question, what if this article, picture, or post isn't all that true? I thought working in the digital media sector these days you would have to be extremely skilled in software developments/updates, you would need serious communication skills(however that's a given in majority of jobs) and being able to work PowerPoint/photoshop/HTML etc.  In these videos and some res...

Media Representations

  This week I watched videos about media ethics and the potential implication for society but mainly focusing on representation in media. Representation is how media like tv, films and books can portray certain types of people or communities.   There are many reasons to why representation matters. It's to give people and culture a voice, they can share their experiences, it represents cultures and shares stories. It is vital for every person, whether in front of the camera or behind the scenes to have a voice. We are constantly seeing content that's very white, and straight. I believe with time things are changing, with my experience of growing up has been quit positive when on the topic of representation. We have had such a participation through social media on "black lives matter" and "pride"(pride even has its own month). This is all fantastic especially with the next generation people's voices are becoming louder and hopefully someday we will live in...
