Since September 2010, I have learnt a wide range of new skill and how to use different tools in order to crate content for all multimedia formats.
These include: Television, Radio, Print and online.
In television we had Sean Walsh taking the lectures. We were taught about the importance of pronouncing names and locations correctly, how to plan and carry out a location shoot how to carry out a vox pop interview and how to use Adobe Premier Pro. We also had some time in the live television studio practicing our broadcasting.
In TV classes I feel I was very confident using the editing software and presence in front of a camera. Though I was not particularly strong on gain vox pop footage.
Radio classes were taken with Martin Fletcher; in his sessions we had time in the radio studio and learnt how to write a story for radio from a press release.
I enjoyed the studio time, but I do need work on slowing down my speech and pronunciation of words.
Steve Miller took the print lectures. We were taught how to write for print copy and how to use in design for page layouts.
I enjoyed using InDesign; having previous experience on Quarke express I picked it up quickly. Places for improvements are to be able to cut down on how long it take me to make a point, by making my articles more streamlined.
The fourth part of the multimedia unit was online, taught by Simon Clarke. He asked up to set up a blog on blogger.com and set up a twitter account. We learnt how to re-format images for use on the Internet. Using uploading websites like sound cloud was also a part of this unit.
The online section was interesting and I enjoyed learning how to use different software. However, I still need to learn how to use photo shop and regularly update my blog.
