Week 7

This week has been a very tiring one as the winter months are rolling in which just means that I want to sleep for as long as possible and not leave my warm and cozy bed, this is not good when I have college to attend. However, I have motivated myself enough to still get out of bed and learn.

On the first day back we got to focus on our actual interviews and I finally set a date for when I would be conducting mine. As I had done everything else, however, this lesson dragged quite a bit as I couldn't find anything to do.

On Tuesday I had to get up very early to travel all the way to Nottingham and get my filming equipment so that I could interview my friend. This was strange as the camera was in a large black box and I'm pretty sure many people thought that I was carrying around a bomb. Conducting the interview was very fun and because it was with my friend I learned a lot more about him than I already knew.

On Wednesday I started to edit my interview, I had played around with Adobe premier before but, as it was quite a while ago now I had forgotten some things and so had to learn how to do these again. This process was very difficult as I have a lot of footage and the final cut can only be around 3 minutes long. In photography, we began looking at the content that we will be using to write our essays and we looked at the techniques used to develop old photos. In the final lesson with Rob, I figured out what I was going to do for my radio package and did some research on this.

Unfortunately, on Thursday I wasn't able to attend college as I had a terrible nights sleep because I was helping my mum looking after my ill little sister. However, I was sure to do as much work as possible whilst at home.

On Friday I continued to edit my interview and got a rough first cut of it done. With Phil, we continued to work in our magazine groups and gather together all the research that we had done individually so that we knew exactly what we had done. Then we moved on to thinking about how much it would cost to create our magazine and pay people to write our articles.
