So this post is a day late but you'll get used to that.. i must say i am a very organised person (most of the time) and i remember to do everything! ... whether it get's done on time that is a different story!
Good job i date all of my notes! -4/10/2011.... Today in media issues we had to bring in an object that meant something to us, or had some kind of story behind it (i remembered!). My object was a train ticket to Barcelona from when i was staying in Salou, the story behind it?.... Well i will tell you! cutting a verrrrrry long story short (because people on my course must be sick of it by now) i went to Salou for a nice relaxing five day break before my exams, when we all decided to go to Barcelona for the day, which is not that far on the train! Spending the day in 'Barca' was lovely, untill the moment i decided to ask what time the last train was whilst sitting enjoying a posh meal with the last of our days money, and to nobodys suprise none of us new the exact departure of the train hence why everyone of us pulled out out blackberrys and although vowing not to use the internet whilst abroad it was a must to ensure we got back in time....Thankfully we found what time it was too leave....
The time then was 9.30... the last train was 9.45 and we were a half hour walk away from the station, however were a 10 minute drive, could we make it? Obviously NOT! .. after lashing the bill at the waiter, jumping in two taxi's and near leaving my friend behind we got to the station were the trains status on screen was -ready to depart- ... We jumped the barrier, we really thought there was a chance we could make that train! Anyway due to missing the train we walked round Barcelona in circles for five hours trying to find a 24 hour bus... No luck!
It was one of the worst night's of my life!.. However everytime i look back at the little ticket of that trip, i laugh because as much as i was hungry, cold, tired, and irritaited i shared a once in a lifetime experience with my bestest friends!... I mean come on, how many people do you know who have been stranded in Barcelona!
After we had discussed all our storys we decided to link them to travel, as whether it be a journey to a place, a journey to sleep or a career journey they were out 'Things' where all related to 'Journeys' we had taken or were going to take!... Then we got creative and used Prezi.com to present are objects individualy aswell as linking them together! We took picutures of ourselves with the objects and incorporated our photographs into prezi, giving little information on the story behind our object.
To be honest with you i think we approaced our presentation in quite a creative way, we used one of the templates as it just so coincidently related to the Journeys we had all linked to our objects.. and we used different angles to make it spin when it zoomed in which i thought quite effective!.. The only thing i would of liked to include in our 'PREZI', after seeing other presentations, is music and also some effects on the pictures. I thought this looked really effective on the others and made a real impact, especially the music if the song related to the theme!
After me going on about it if your really interested in viewing my PREZI here is the URL: hhtp://prezi.com/n4yeqznhy3py/objects/ ... I hope you enjoy it!
....Oh and by the way Prezi.com get's top marks from me when it comes to the style of presentation, depedning on how you want to present i think it is definately something i will be returning to use!!
