Digital media assignment 3 Tupac blog: Reflection

Reflection For my third and final assignment that was on the methodology tag I believe that it was my best one out of all of the assignments that I have done under Shaun, I was really organised, me and my group communication skills were really good we made made a group chat so it would be way easier to communicate with each other, we gathered together when making the video seeing what was working and what wasn't working, we wanted to make sure that the video was perfect. The Kumu website was a great idea that we thought of it helped us put all the information that we founded and made into one mind map was very efficient and I thought recording are voices was going to be the hardest part other than making the video but it was really easy and it was the most easiest part of the whole assignment on the Digital journalism project, it did took me a good 15 minutes because it was my first time recording my voice for a video especially for a really important video so I wanted to mak

Digital media assignment 3 Tupac blog: Product

Product For my third project on Digital journalism on  the methodology tag, we did are project on Tupac and we had different sections to do for example I had to do my part on the influence of Tupac on the Hip Hop world, my two other group members did there section on the history of Tupac for example where he grew up his family members, the other group member did his on the death of Tupac, how he died, when he died and why people still believe that his is still alive. After that we planned on using voice memos an app on the iPhone and android to record are voices so we can put are voices on the video that we are making for are Digital journalism project. I gathered a-lot of my information based on my own knowledge since I am a very big music fan and I follow Tupac a-lot but the information that I didn't know I used a few online sources like the Wikipedia, RollingStone and 105.1thebounce. After I gathered my information I made sure to trim the notes because there was a-lot of w

Digital media assignment 3 Tupac blog: Introduction

Introduction For the third and final assignment that Shaun gave us was on the methodology tag but this time Shaun wanted us to make a video while we were doing a project so it was very different from the other two assignments that I have done, there were many interesting for example Networks, Mapping and more, the topic that I picked was Digital journalism because the other ones were really interesting but I could not see myself doing any of them and out of all of the topics Digital journalism was the topic that I had the most interest in out of all the other topics in the methodology tag. This time I made sure to find a group because in this assignment you would need a group because this was a big project and it doesn't look like a one man team, so you need a group for this project badly, when I gathered people for my group we all decided to pick the Digital journalism topic and we had to decide on who to pic on at first we had trouble because we didn't want to do

Digital media assignment 2 Wikipedia blog: Reflection

Reflection After my second project I noticed that I did way  better while doing my presentation for the second time than I did for my first time doing a presentation while I was doing my project my organisation skills were ten times better than the first time I did a presentation because on the day we were very unorganised because we didn't even have are project on a usb or even saved onto Shaun computer we were only touching it up before my group was called up to present the project this time I finished my project on time and even earlier than the first time so when I went up to present my project it was already on Shaun's computer so it was very easy and simple. My presentation skills improved I was able to give great eye contact to the people that I was telling my project about I will admit that I did talk very fast so I did stutter a-lot but I made sure to learn all the information that I put on the slideshow off by heart and it really paid off because it made my p

Digital media assignment 2 Wikipedia blog: introduction

Introduction   For my second assignment for the culture tag that Shaun gave us I picked wikipedia at first I had trouble on picking which topic that I wanted to do there were many other interesting topics for example memes, blogging and you-tubing but I saw all the topics as boring and I had no interest to do with any of the topics, but I finally decided to pick one and it was the Wikipedia that I landed on. This was also the first time I was in a group by myself because when I was thinking of what topic to pick many other people made groups but all the topics they picked I had no interest in any of them, there were two other people that had no group as well because they also found many of the topics on the culture tag very boring and uninteresting, Shaun told us to form a group however we couldn't on a topic to do that we will all like, so I asked shaun if I can do the project myself and after that I went on solo.      Since I had to do the project by myself this time I had

Digital media assignment 1 Art of the animated GIF blog: Reflection

Reflection After my first assignment on the animated GIF it was a huge learning curve for me because even though I passed there was still many errors that I made and my group made too, for example we were really unorganised and we didn't really act or looked like a team we all basically just went lone wolf and did the projects on are own with out really any communication with it each other so it was pretty hard to keep up with each other since we had no clue on who has the work done or even is doing any work at all The next error that I found out about was me presenting my part of the project to the class, I looked unprofessional, I had my head down most of the time so I wasn't looking at the people that I was speaking and showing my work too. I also looked at the screen a-lot because I wasn't too sure what I wrote so I had to read it all, so I gave barely any eye contact. I also had too much writing when I was presenting  my part of the project I learned from the ha

Digital media assignment 1 Art of the animated GIF blog: introduction

Introduction  My first project for my digital media class was on the creativity tag that Shaun gave us. There are many options and different ideas we can pick for the project it was a group assignment so i had to two other people and make a group with them so we can start the project. After many discussions with the people in my group we decided to pick the art of the animated GIF, there were many really interesting for example Augmented reality, Digital audio and more. However I was pretty excited that we picked are topic on the GIF because I always see GIF's everywhere on the internet like on twitter or instagram and never really thought about how they were made. I was more interested and motivated to do this project now because I wanted to know more about the GIF like how they are made, why were they made in the first place, the impact they had in the online world and the most important one who was the person that thought about the GIF and invented the GIF.  We all
