Documentary

https://youtu.be/uSgJH0_MC94










This task consisted of the class making a 60 second video as a “documentary”, which also had to include audio.The video had to be about my journey to uni. 

The first time I filmed  footage for this documentary, it was very foggy, and to be completely honest, I was not happy with it. It did take a couple of tries for me to get footage that I was actually satisfied with.in the end the documentary was a mixture of the different days I filmed on. I wanted to film footage of particular parts of my journey. This included my train arriving, the view from the train and more. I felt it was important to show the main aspects of my journey, but also add other things to make the video interesting. For this task I used Adobe premier to create the video. 

The editing was not difficult to do (seeing as I found the LinkedIn learning video easy to understand). Personally, what I think was the “issue” was the footage I used. I think because  the weather was not the greatest, and I often ended up rushing in the mornings, it might have been reflected in the documentary. For the future, I would definately plan my filming in advance, as opposed to just filming the parts of my journey spontaneously. Another thing that I would also do is remember to use a tripod, since some of my footage was a little bit shaky. Overall, I enjoyed making the documentary.

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...
