Round up of year one!

Well here is my last blog concluding basically my whole first year of university.

I feel as though this year has had its ups and downs, and when I say that I mean I feel in some ways I have learnt a lot for example making websites using Dreamweaver and using Photoshop for the first time, however in other modules such as Film Language I feel as though everything that has been taught I already did in college! However, I completely understand that the first year is getting everyone up to the same stage as each other therefore I feel this has been taught well.

My favourite module has defiantly been Production Practice. I learnt production for two years via college before university therefore had a good understanding of what makes a great film and all the post production. This being my favourite module, I have put in all my effort to create four great films during the year and cant wait to get hands on next year throughout the module 'TV Studio'.
I feel as though I have also learnt a lot about myself this year. I now know which direction I would like to go in a career and that would be teaching. I would love to teach at college level teaching Media Studies or Production.
I feel as though I really need to do my upmost best the next two years in order to gain great grades in my degree and also get myself a lot of work experience in via the next two years.

I have enjoyed keeping a blog throughout as I know I can always look back at the work I have produced and it is all in one area. I treat this blog almost like my website and will continue to post blogs throughout the next two years of my course.

So watch this space and wish me luck!!!



Game Prezi

During Contemporary Media Issues, we were asked to get into groups and come up with an idea for a new, fresh game. 
I teamed up with my friend Becca and came up with a great idea for a mind game. I have previously wrote an in depth blog about this which you can find on here but below is a link to a Prezi that we made to present the game. We named it 'Bubbly Whale Game'.

Check it out! Here's the link:
