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

Celebrity Addict - A product.

Hiya Lads, So this is our product that we came up with and the brain behind it!  My group and I decided on doing a video mocking celebrity news on Youtube. We wanted to do something else beforehand but we just couldn't figure out how we were gonna go about it. Our lecturer suggested that we could write on a topic but in different forms of media but we were stuck on how to do that. We wanted to do something we were all happy and comfortable with and we decided on Youtube news. We all decided to meet up during college to film the video as one of the people in my group had to go to Roscommon afterwards. Thankfully Megan had a film camera and we brought some props with us to help with the video. We spent hours trying to think of video ideas and we thought of a Kylie Jenner clip and a Lindsay Lohan mental breakdown clip. The video is supposed to be 5 minutes max so we had little to work with. We found a room that was perfect for filming the news broadcast as it was a small room and ...

Reflection on the devil - IOT

The internet can be a great source of information when researching the Internet of things and that helped me a lot in this project. I spent hours going through different examples of everyday things in IOT in 2019, and that was why we decided to do a mind map based on these examples. A lot of the articles I read, you can read here , here and here . I feel like the best way I learn when I do these missions with my group, is by looking through everyday examples, especially the articles that are made by regular people just reviewing their side of things. In the questionnaire we just brainstormed our ideas and just put them in the survey and I think that's why it failed. You can read my previous blog post explaining what we did wrong and what you can do to prevent that. You have to take time with a survey, it also has to go a specific direction and make sure that the person reading it clearly understands it, you can ask your friend what their opinion about it is to make sure. Wha...

Bird Whisperer S1 E001 : The introduction

You're putting me under pressure with this introduction but I guess I'm gonna have to start. My name is Anna, I'm from Poland and I've had a person ask me if I'm from Northern Ireland, I honestly don't know what drugs they were on but whatever it is, don't want it! When I was 14 I was really into writing and I always wanted to write my own book, but in order to do that I had to be creative so that's why I'm here. I honestly don't know how I got accepted into this course, but all I know is that you guys saved me from another year of working in Dunnes Stores so thank you. I have 3 cockatiels, if you don't know what they are than we can't be friends I'm really sorry. Stay tuned for cute photos at the end though, you might regret reading all of this but that's the price you have to pay ;). I'm obsessed with Stephen King and I read his book ''The Stand'' about 5 times, Right now I'm collecting all of his books. ...
