Qualitive Research

Hello!

In toady's Applied Media Research class we were taught about qualitive research, which I from the start preferred over Quantitive. I think this is because I generally like talking with people face to face when wanting to find out information and I find it easy to chat to someone and qualitive research relies on this, depending on what kind of qualitive research you carry out.

We got into our research groups and were given the opportunity to come up with a type of qualitive research to carry out on another group. The question we had to consider was the same as the quantitive which was "How would you promote a degree to a potential student". We decided on a Diary entry. I thought that this was a useful way of finding out information about the stages of someones journey to university and gave us a good insight on peoples thoughts. We got some feedback off the other group and found out that maybe our idea was a bit vague and all of the answers were similar. In the future I think we would try and come up with another method of qaulitive research that required more participant involvement.

In our TV Studio production module we recorded our paper airplane show. This was a really good experience and gave our group a feel of what we will be doing in the future with our final show. I really enjoy presenting, theres a good adrenaline feel towards it, I like being put under pressure I guess. Its definitely something I would love to continue doing but I do realise how hard it is to break into that section of the industry! I think that I could be slightly more funny on camera though. Anyway I'll see how it goes!

Bye!
