Final Mission - Methodology, A Process.

I don't think anyone had any clue what to do for this final mission. We had fewer choices than we did for the last two missions which made it harder to pick. I decided to go with the easier option which was Digital Journalism as for the previous two missions, I wanted to pick something that I hadn't done before and that were going to be a little challenging. Our lecturer wanted to do something completely different which was to make a video of the end product and the process instead of a presentation and we would all be critiquing ourselves by the end of the semester by watching all of the videos in the 2 hour lecture. We could pick anyone from the 5 groups to do this project with and I decided to pick my dearest friend and a girl in my group as she didn't have anyone else to do the project with.

We were really nervous doing this because the expectations were supposed to exceed the last two missions and we had to do a video on top of that. Our goals for this mission, we read the suggested article that our lecturer provided us with here. We decided to talk to Megan's lecturer on her opinion of the topic and what the video is supposed to represent. We had so many ideas but the thought of putting that onto a video were a little bit tricky and we don't have much experience with premier pro, and it would take a long time trying to figure out how to edit it in a way where we all felt comfortable.

To me, digital journalism changed a lot throughout the years and it probably got worse over the decade, I usually come by digital journalism on snapchat, on twitter etc.. On snapchat it's all about celebrities whereas twitter you have a lot on politics and a lot of different opinions. When it comes to news I like to read newspapers, I used to have so many stacked up in my room because my boyfriend would bring one every evening. Nowadays it's everywhere and it's free. The thing I didn't know about digital journalism was that there's so many different forms of journalism and I had no idea how creative people can make them, such as long form scrollytelling, personalised etc..

My group and I decided on Youtube news, we are all familiar with it one way or another and they tend to exaggerate things when it comes to celebrity gossip. Our goal for the mission was to research more about digital journalism and how we were going to go about doing this video. We decided it would be best to do a video mocking celebrity news on Youtube. The only downfall doing this mission was the fact that we were all busy doing other assignments as well as working, and sickness..

The resources we're going to be using are Premier Pro, Photoshop, and Audacity. We are going to be researching the different forms of news on Youtube, and we're going to use Youtube to help us in our editing journey. The only issue with that is the fact that you have to edit a video on one laptop, you can't alter it like you do a presentation together and that's the tricky part.

Anyway I'll let you guys know about my end product in the next blog post and I'll see y'all soon!!! -Anna

Culture Mission; What's so good about IOT??? A PROCESS

Hiya everyone! Haven't written in a while, i've been very busy with college but I'm back at it for my second mission.  In this mission there were various different options from the last creativity mission that we've done on podcasts. This time I had to form an entirely different group which we thankfully did right after our presentations a couple of weeks ago. There were options such as Youtube, memes, blogging but I wanted to do research on something entirely new to me and to the world itself which was Internet of things. Digital audio was pretty self explanatory but I had no idea what I would be doing for Iot and my group felt the same way, i asked my lecturer Shaun and he thought that a questionnaire would be a good idea which we thought was pretty interesting so we went with it. My goals for this mission are entirely different from my previous one. Before we had to think of questions for this questionnaire we had to research the importance of internet of things a...

Creativity mission; The Podcast Blues

Hiya everyone, it’s been a busy couple of  weeks  but I wanted to share my experience with what my group and I have been up to f or my  intro to digital media  mission .  F irst my group and I decided on Interactive fiction because that’s what stood out to me, But I've always been a big fan of podcasts and I know a lot of friends that listen to them whenever they fall asleep to make overthinking less of a problem.  We decided to change to digital audio, as it doesn’t put a lot of pressure on us but it’s still something out of our comfort zones. On the first day we made a  whatsapp  group as one of the people in our group preferred to speak outside of social media. But we tried to keep slack in a way to communicate how we’re getting on and so on. The problem with doing a podcast is you need a quiet place to record yourselves as audio can pick up everything around you so that was going to be a problem. I did all the recommended reading and lis...

IOT - the good and the bad.

I just wanted to talk about what good we did in the mission, and what we could've done to make it better. This is the end product and how it didn't succeed. What I said in my previous blog post about IOT, i had no idea what I was going to be going into - I meant it. This mission was sort of a failure because of the direction we went towards with it. I think it was miscommunication on our parts but that can always happen when it comes to group work.  When we worked on this group project, we ended up working on our own parts as any group would do. I wanted to do some bits about security but I also wanted to explain in detail what IOT is about. The other people in my group talked about the questionnaire, the history of the internet, what IOT is etc.. but the internet didn't really have anything to do with IOT and that was our downfall. When we made the questionnaire , it was all over the place and it led to security issues but our presentation was supposed to be about ...
