Apple Watch Presentation

In today's session we did a presentation on the Apple Watch. In the presentation we discussed how the Apple Watch can be used and what it is capable of. We discussed as a group on how we would present the Apple Watch and how we would like to advertise it. In the group we also discussed the types of people that may want to buy and use the Apple Watch, we also talked about the different places we would film and how we would present the watch, we talked about the different types of shots we would use to make the watch presentable. We designed a power point about the Apple Watch and putting information about it, we then went into a different room to present the power point on record and explain our ideas on how we would advertise the Apple Watch. Me and my group also came up with a group name called 'Digital Initiatives' and then designed a logo for it. After we had finished our presentation we got lots of feedback on how we could improve the presentation, such as making eye contact at all times to show the audience we are speaking directly to them, we also got feedback to us about sounding enthusiastic and making movements during the presentation so it didn't bore the audience. The task we did came out successful as we got lots of positive feedback and our power point had a nice simple layout and stood out with the different transitions. What my group and i learnt from this task was to be more presentable and make more eye contact, we also learnt to speak loud and clear, this will be helpful for future tasks as we wont have any mistakes for next time and will know what we have to include to make it successful.

Using the recorders blog

In this blog i am going to be comparing the two different recorders for

• sound quality 
• ease of use
• positives and negatives of each

I am going to start of by talking about the Zoom recorder, the Zoom recorder is a good and easy recorder to use and understand. The Zoom has many positives to it, a positive of the Zoom recorder is that it is easy to work and understand the different settings. The sound quality of the Zoom is very good and picks up high quality sound, the Zoom has a good distance range on it and can be used from a far distance. The Zoom can pick up the quietest and the loudest of sounds. A negative effect on the Zoom can be the battery, the battery of the Zoom didn't seem to last very long and turned off just after we finished using it. This can be a negative because you would have to wait for it to charge if you wanted to use it again that day. I will now start to talk about the 2nd recorder we used, the 2nd recorder we used was very easy to use and very understandable, the 2nd recorder was easy to start up and get going recording, another positive about this recorder is that the sound quality was very good and sounded good when playing it back. Another positive about this recorder is that it was easy to stop recording and easy starting it back up, this recorder picked up some good sound quality it loud and quiet places, it also picked up people talking which sounded very clear when played back. Overall the two recorders were very good and easy to use, i prefer the Zoom as i found it easier to use and understand and i also enjoy

using it and exploring the different settings.  

My first college blog

I want to do TV/Film because it is something i am interested in and after i have finished finished i would like to get a job doing something in the media industry.


In the course i am looking forward to meeting new people and learning more about TV/Film, i am looking forward to uses different editing skills and working on different projects and learning how everything works in TV/Film

The skills i would like to learn are team work skills, communication skills, problem solving and leadership, i think these skills will be beneficial to me when finding a job. i also think these skills would be beneficial to have as you will be able to lead and communicate with different groups of people and would be helpful for others that don't have them.

The kind of roles i would want is using different types of editing and working on different camera angles and seeing how they would work/look in the shot.

The products i would like to make would be a short film as it would be good to use different editing software and learning how other software works. Another product i would like to do is making a film trailer as it would require me getting people to act and would require me working on the types of shots and making them look good when editing.

The things i am nervous about is working with new people and getting things wrong and having to start again.

I hope to achieve on the course is knowing how to edit things and knowing how to use the software, i would also like to achieve lots of different skills as it would help me and look good when applying for a job.

After the course has finished i would like to go out and apply for a job in the Media industry and use the different skills and editing techniques i have used.
