This is my last blog post for the semester, i'll see you in a few months and I hope you all have a great christmas and a new year!
I had an idea on what digital journalism was about, but i didn't know there were so many different forms of it. I researched the different forms that were on this article here and I went from there. There's so many visually pleasing articles such as this, this and this. I had no idea how to do a layout like that so I didn't even try. It makes me sad that digital journalism is expanding at such a rapid pace but at the same time we tend to scroll past it or not see it at all. I had to research ''the most appealing digital journalism articles'' in order to see such beauty and the ones that pop up on my timeline are crappy celebrity gossip articles filled to the brim with stupid ads on weight loss.
When making celebrity addict, we learned a lot as a group especially about the editing tools that were used in the making of the video. We spent a long time trying to come up with an idea that would exceed the other missions but we didn't really have that much time to work with and we were already stressed with other work. If we had way more time we would've created something better. I can't wait to improve on my skills when it comes to the second semester. Looking through the other videos that were made we realised that we could've done a lot of things such as making the process way better but it was too late. After seeing all those videos I know what kind of mind set i'm gonna have for the next few years especially since this is going to help my portfolio for work. It is the first year and it's completely different to that school mentality and I think everyone else is in the same position.
Since we didn't get any feedback for the project I'm going to talk about the successes and failures that I feel should be mentioned. The whole point of the mission was to talk about the process of it and make sure there's a lot of information on digital journalism which we didn't really do. We had so many ideas such as trying to make the vertical video have subtitles, etc.. but we thought against it because it just didn't look good. For the process Megan just recorded her editing the video because we didn't really know how else to do it, but after watching the other students and their videos we talked about it afterwards on what we could've done to make the video better. But nevertheless the video turned out amazing and it looked like any other youtube video would especially the intro of it. We had fun with it and that's all that matters, we were proud of the creativity that was put in and we brought props and camera equipment and we had a good time filming it. I just don't think the research showed up in our video which was a bummer but we'll try our hardest for the next semester and that's all that matters..
Anyway enough stress talking, it's time to reflect on the pros and cons of the semester and to go in with a fresh mindset.. -Anna
