Mission 3 Methodology

Hey guys! 
I am getting used to this blogging thing, I hope you guys are enjoying reading them just as much as I enjoy writing them.
Mission three has fast approached and it is time to decide what task to choose yet again. This was quite hard for me to choose as nothing seemed to jump out at me. After going over the options numerous times I have decided, like most people, to do Digital Journalism. 
As we had to create a video for this mission, I felt that choosing digital journalism made the most sense.
As an avid social media user I am interested in the world of journalism and story telling within the borders of my phone. 
After choosing what to do my next job was to find a team to work with. Through using slack I joined teams with my friends Robyn and Daniella. We came together and brainstormed on what we could do for the task at hand. After a few hours switching to and from ideas, we landed on and all agreed to do 'Fake News'.
We wanted to capture how easily fake news is spread through social media it is and how nearly most of the time when someone is asked something in the form of a question they will believe it. 
We met up a few days later and decided to write our fake news questions. Some of our questions included 'Did you hear about president Trump getting impeached last night?' and 'Did you hear about Kim Kardashian having a baby and putting it up for adoption?'. We wanted to make the questions topical and believable. 
Our next job was to film the fake news report and find people to participate and answer our questions. 
I will write about this in my next blog post.

 Write soon,
Leslie

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 skil...

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...

First of many!

This blog post is going to hopefully provide you with some interesting facts about myself even though I don't have much to work with! Im going to try keep this short and sweet. My name is Leslie and I just turned 21 this Wednesday (and before you ask, no I don't feel old yet). I live in a bungalow in a field in Kilbride but thankfully I drive or else I would have to walk ages to get to anywhere which does sound very appealing to me! This is my second time attempting college. I went directly to college when I finished my leaving cert around 3 years ago now but realised very quickly that the course wasn't for me. I am extremely indecisive on what I want to do in life and on simple decisions in general but i'm hoping to get into film in some way so fingers crossed I don't drop out of this course. Hopefully this will be the first of many blog posts I write.
