A day in London


https://youtu.be/O8TRe9opgXA









Being inspired by the first documentary I had made, I decided to film another one. This time, I wanted to film a day out in London, and the type of things I got up to when I was not at uni. On this particular day, I went out with a friend of mine, and we went around central London. The video starts off with me walking up the stairs, followed by the train arriving, which takes me to my main destination. After that, since it was the afternoon, I had lunch, and then we went to a marketplace, followed by a cafe to study. At times I felt a bit nervous to film since central London is a busy place and I did not want to accidentally film someone that would have a problem with being filmed. However, I did have a friend with me, so it gave me a bit of confidence.  The documentary ends with me going home the same way I arrived, on the train.

 I had also used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit this documentary. Just like the first video, I enjoyed making this documentary, and I could see myself making more in the future. 

As for improvement, the next time I make a video in this style, I will add the location of where I am, so that people can connect to the video, and know where in London I went to. A personal improvement would be to work on making the audio sound more smooth- in the sense of it not ending abruptly. Other than that, I believe that if I keep on practicing making these types of videos, I will be able to explore other ways to edit and make my videos even better.

Reflection on the first year

As the first year has gone by, I would say that I've had many highs and lows from my Digital Media Foundations. I started the year off rather excited, especially since I did not have any expectations of what the course would be like. When I first heard that we were going to be writing on blogs, I was slightly nervous. The idea of having to publicly write down my experiences, along with my thoughts and feeling was slightly scary to me because I wouldn’t know who would be seeing my blogs. However, as time went by, I slowly but surely got used to writing in my blogs. I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to do new things, such as using Stop Motion, audacity, Premiere Pro, and more. I will admit to finding some of the software difficult to use, such as photoshop, and Illustrator. However, I am adamant to keep on learning how to use them, so that I can be able to create more projects. My favourite project/ assignment was probably using Stop Motion. Even though it took such a long time, I re...

Poster design

Feeling slightly uneasy about Adobe Illustrator, I still went ahead to use it to make my poster. It was going well, until it wasn’t. The Poster was supposed to be for our Lecturer’s nephew, who is a musician (who plays the classical guitar). He was having a concert in France, and wanted an advertisement for it (this being the poster).  My original idea was to have an image of a classical guitar, and both Charlie Richardson and the other half to his duo Anne-Lise Vaumoron in the guitar with details of the event around it. I had decided to use elements of Tony Harmer's video to help with my idea. However, I found it very difficult to create and ended up having to start again several times. By the fifth time, I had decided to give up my original idea. Unfortunately, I came to the decision to leave out the picture of Richardson and Anne-Lise. To be completely honest, I was not the biggest fan of the photo options we were given for the poster, so I wasn’t too disappointed. In the end, m...

Another trip to a museum

I wanted to visit two museums after the classes I had for the past couple of weeks. The first museum I went to was the Saatchi gallery. Seeing as I went there rather spontaneously, I was not able to go to any of the private exhibitions. However, they did have one free exhibition, named Studio: Response. It was an exhibition collaborating with three artists, Luke Hannam, Tom Norris and Luke Routledge.  Luke Routledge did the sculptures, Tom Norris created the ceramic vases and Luke Hannam painted the canvas art. My favourite was the art done by Luke Hannam, especially since it was painted on canvas, which is something I had never seen before in a gallery. Seeing the various patterns, colours and textures that the artists had used were rather fascinating to me, and I thought the exhibition was quite nice. To be completely honest, I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of the exhibition was, but nevertheless, I found the art to be interesting, and I will definitely look further into t...
