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 remember having so much fun, and I will definitely make more short videos using the app. Another thing I genuinely enjoyed was doing the interactive website in collaboration with
a few friends. I loved creating something that was able to show all of us together, but also us as individuals. In conclusion, I would say that despite me having to do a few projects I did not enjoy, overall I learned many new skills and I really enjoyed the classes I had. I am very much looking forward to what next year has to offer, and the challenges that will come along with it.
