Chapter 8

Last week was a bit hectic! In Monday's class we presented our final cut of the People On The Move assignment and I thoroughly enjoyed everyone's short films, and it was also nice to see ours on the big screen! Me and Orlagh came in slightly earlier just to touch up on any editing that needed to be fixed and it turned out we had it complete with about 45 minutes to go so we decided to add in some fun credits at the end! I'm sure I'm not just speaking for myself though when i say that in the end i am really happy with our film and although it was slightly stressful to begin with, in the end it was really rewarding to have it finished and exactly how we wanted it, have a watch below:

Okay so on Tuesday then, we had to present our game ideas to the class in Contemporary Media Issues. Drew was my partner and we had came up with the idea of Screen School Olympics. This is basically a set of small, simple games that represent certain events within the Olympics for example for fencing we used whiteboard markers instead of the fencing swords (obviously!) and it was all good fun. The week before we did user testing, so we got Smars and Ian to be our users and took pictures and various small clips which we added into our Prezi presentation. The presentation went really well actually, I really do think that Prezi's are really good for things like this and now that I'm getting the hang of it, it is an online that i will definitely use in the future! One thing that I'm looking forward to is getting feedback on this small assignment and also the Wiki assignment, just to see if I'm doing the right thing haha.  Have a look at our Prezi :)

In Digital Media Tools this week we finished off the animation project, we actually haven't 100% completed it, all we have to do is put it together in After Effects, hopefully it works!

In Thursday's class we basically kind of recapped everything and got given the assignment brief again but in more detail, which was good because I wasn't too sure about it.

I think Ive went on for a bit too long there so I'll finished there, its nearly Christmas and I'm quite excited as I'm going back to Ireland so it will be really good to catch up with everyone, I will keep posting though.
