Special Objects..

My next Contemporary media issues lesson was based on bringing in a special object that meant something to us. I struggled to decide on one particular special object as I did have quite a few but I decided to go with my Oxegen Festival wristband. This object means a lot to me because it is a memory of my first ever festival which was one of the best times of my life. Not only was it my first festival but it was also my first trip to Ireland and I loved every minute of it. I had a lucky weekend because I managed to catch the sun whilst I was there and the artists that played were amazing. I am never going to forget that experience which is why I wanted to share it with the rest of the class.
During this lesson, we split into groups and discussed our special objects and why they were all so important to us and then within our groups, we all learnt how to use Prezi for the first time. This software was new to me and I had never heard of it before our lesson. I really enjoy using Prezi after discovering it and really think it is a fun way to present something that is interesting to you towards everybody else.

Dreams and Thoughts.

During the next 3 years on my course of Media Professional Studies, I would like to explore a wide range of different types and experiences of working within the media industry. I am hoping to gain knowledge from Freelance artist media all the way to learning what it is like to become a director. I have always been interested in the media industry ever since I was a young teenager and I would create my own homemade videos on the computer, learn the skills of editing using different software that was on my computer. I used to create videos of my favourite comedy television shows such as Friends and Full House. I would download various different clips from the shows and edit them around using movie maker to create my own videos. As well as this, I would also go out and explore with my video camera and capture different movie clips with my friends and edit them into a video once I had got home.

Carrying on from when I enjoyed making videos, my next favourite hobby became Photography, I enjoy exploring different places and capturing images that look interesting of nature and people. From then on I discovered pixilation animation, and I then decided to combine the two hobbies together and enjoyed creating films and videos using pixilation. I would like to bring these childhood hobbies forward into a future career within the media industry and creating films. I also enjoy the idea of becoming a new media artist and bringing my work onto my own website.

I am interested in the artistic type of media and using drawings, designs and photography to create something unrealistic but interesting to watch at the same time. I don't think I would like to have a career directing or producing, possibly something a lot more artistic and I can explore my own ideas and thoughts as freely as possible.
