Finishing production 🎬

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! ^-^

Production process…

This week, myself and my group mates are beginning to come towards the end of our production stage, and we’re starting to add the final touches to our script. After we divide the script amongst each other, we will begin to record our parts in hopes of bringing them altogether by the end of next week so that we can ensure to edit the clips and elevate the viewing experience by adding background music, various case study/survey facts as well as relevant short clips and videos.

 
As of now, I am in charge of finalising our script and adding any additional information, but also removing any information that is unnecessary or seems a little bit off topic from the point that we will try to convey.
 
So far, the three of us have borrowed recording equipment that was available for us in college, and we’ve also purchased our own microphones to ensure that our video will have the best quality it possibly can. We haven’t decided on a specific recording setting yet, however, we’re probably going to record our parts from home, since it would help us avoid bad weather, such as rain and wind, which would therefore downgrade the quality of our videos. Additionally, I think it would be nice to record the videos in the comfort of our own rooms, since the video will result in a cozy feel, as if we’re having a conversation with the viewers, while keeping it professional and informative.
 
I think that one of the biggest challenges that myself and my group mates have faced so far, is the need to change our plan a little bit, since we haven’t gotten a response from a YouTube blogger that we were hoping to interview. It was quite upsetting, since I feel like the interview would’ve been a nice and interesting addition to the entire video, however, we’ve worked around this inconvenience and are still hoping to produce a great product to reveal in the end.
 
Furthermore, I will begin looking into some of the editing softwares that I would like to use for the editing of my part of the video. I’m planning to research tips and information about recording and editing so that my part of the video stays enlightening yet instructive.
I will probably need to go through some trial and error while experimenting with different editing softwares, but I’m hoping to stay on track so that I don’t fall behind the work that my group mates will be completing.
 
I’m very excited to begin recording and editing our video and soon to be able to visualise the finishing product of our project!

Media Literacy

This week, I read two opinion pieces called ‘ ‘Digital Media companies found lacking in helping users understand the online environment’’ and ‘‘Ofcom research: Nearly half of people across the UK nations have come across false or misleading information about Covid-19’’. After I took my time to read and understand the two, I attempted to read a journal article called ‘‘News media literacy, perceptions of bias, and interpretation of news’’.  My experience of reading this week was surely more difficult than the others, however, I challenged myself and tried my best to understand the style of writing that was used in both opinion pieces, and the academic writing used in the journal article.   I found the opinion pieces to be significantly more interesting than the journal article. I was aware that misinformation can be found all over the web, however, I was surprised to discover that the vast majority of media platforms aren’t willing to promote the importance of digital literacy....

Another revision

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Last week, I got the opportunity to give and receive feedback from my course mates, which I found to be a lot more enjoyable than last time. However, I think that there are certainly many ways in which I can improve on in terms of giving feedback to others, and I read three articles in order to help myself with that! The most helpful and effective information that I received from reading the three articles are the comments on structure. I think that this will help me to formulate better questions and opinions in the future.   Besides that, I was very happy with the feedback that I have received. I was glad to see that my course mates understood my writing and the point that I was trying to convey throughout my blog post. I tend to proofread and recheck my blogs for a long amount of time before publishing them, so it’s enlightening to see that my hard work pays off!

Active Reading 📖

This week, I have read ‘Using Student-Constructed Questions to Encourage Active Reading’ by author Ernest Balajthy. This paper was published by the International Literacy Association and Wiley in February of 1984. I think that this has implications for my critical reading as this article has been peer reviewed which gives it credibility. However, this paper was published almost thirty years ago. Therefore, it is likely there is more research done on this topic, possibly, expanding upon it or introducing new techniques.    After reading the paper, I have come to the conclusion that it is primarily aimed at educators, teachers and lecturers in order to help students of all age groups learn about the study technique of active reading. The paper lists tips and guidelines to help facilitate development of one’s active reading skills.  The paper establishes that self questioning is a valid and efficient technique for studying, although, judging by my experience, I would believe...
