Youtubing

For my next creative digital media task I chose to do Youtubing. I chose this because I have always loved watching youtube videos and it is something I have a strong interest in. I teamed up with my friend Mel and together we sat down and put our ideas together. We decided to go for the 'beauty' side of youtube and do a chit chat get ready with us kind of video as this is something we would both watch in our spare time.
We organised a time to meet up and film our video. It took a while to find a suitable room but after a few tries we found a suitable place and got the camera rolling. We were a bit nervous at the beginning but as time went on we were more comfortable which shows in the video.
I edited the main video and Mel edited the vlog that we done documenting the process of filming our video. I found it quite difficult to edit as it is something i've never done before and it was a long video (46 minutes). I managed to edit it down to 24 mins. I wanted to add more skilled editing eg zoom in shots and more music but I found it difficult to do that. It is all a learning process and even though I did struggle I am proud of the outcome. I loved filming a youtube video and the whole process of filming, editing and promoting our video.

The making of 'Fake News'

(img vectorstock.com)  Our mission chosen, our group put together and our task decided, our next step was to make the video. To start, as said in my previous blog, we wrote down a list of fake news questions to ask the person we were interviewing. We then had to find people to interview. Since we were in college we decided to go around and see if we could find students or lectures and ask them questions. We wanted to interview people that we didn't know or who weren't in our group as they would have known it was fake news. We were lucky to find five willing people to participate in the video who all fell for our fake news questions. Their answers were all varied, some more shocked about the questions than others. There were also a few funny replies which we found really added to the lightheartedness of the video. We filmed the video using one of our iPhones and the footage came out very well. We all took turns filming and interviewing people.  I will refle...

My first few college assignments! A reflection

Welcome back to my blog!  I have decided to write a quick blog post on my first few weeks in college and how I have been getting on with assignments.  As it is my first year in college I was apprehensive and anxious to start, I wasn't sure how I was going to handle my time and get everything done, but so far I have managed quite well.  The module that I have enjoyed the most since starting college would have to be Creative Digital Media. Even though out of all the modules it is the one that involves the most work, I have thoroughly enjoyed the wide aray of subjects we get to choose from and the tasks that we have to complete within them.  The youtubing task was the most fun for me. I loved getting the opportunity to film and improve my editing skills. Although I am proud I have done so far, I do feel I can still improve in some areas.  It is taking me some time to get the hang of using Adobe premiere Pro as it is all new to me but hopefully over ti...

Reflecting on our Digital Journalism journey

Work is all done, now it's time for the fun bit.. the reflection!  At first I was a bit apprehensive about this mission as I wasn't too sure on the angle I wanted to take but I am really happy with the end product. As a team we all worked really well together. We took turns with all aspects of the video including the filming and editing. As we were doing our video on fake news we decided to make our video look like a real news feature, including a banner going along the bottom. From completing this mission I learned a lot about fake news and how people can be gullible when asked something false in the form of a question. I feel we achieved our main message in the video which is to show that when you ask someone something in the form of a question they will nearly always believe it.  As part of our research we also looked up fake news stories from the past and how they came out to be untrue. Surprisingly there was a lot more than I originally expected to be. I g...
