So after an amazing summer I found myself itching to get back to Uni, I was excited to see what second year had in store for me and was looking forward to learning new things and learning more! On Monday 17th September this was the day we were introduced to some of our lectures, including Digital Media Cultures and Beyond The Camera we were mainly just introduced to the modules and what we would be learning throughout the year and what would be expected of us... For example:
Digital Media Cultures - we would be submitting a 2000 word essay that is fully referenced and researched, to be honest with you I like writing essays so this did not bother me as such, as yes it is hard at first to get in to the swing of things when it comes to an essay because obviously you have to research fully what you are talking about to be able to produce a good piece of work however once you have your research it is pretty easy to get into the flow of it. The one thing I would say I have to improve on when writing my essays is referencing I just don't think I have fully come to terms with it yet. We would also get to work in a team for the second part of this module which I was looking forward to also as I do like working in groups, this would be a 2000 word report and would be split up between group members which I think is good because although it takes the work load of we were all able to help each other out.
Beyond The Camera - Our first assignment was to create a single frame composite using Photoshop this was mainly just to refresh our memories with Photoshop and if i am truly honest - I HATE PHOTOSHOP! I think it is just because I was not a big fan of it in school, because most people would use it to alter their own pictures to make them look 'picture perfect' as the saying goes.. girls making themselves look skinnier, boys beefing themselves out a bit. It just wasn't my kind of thing, but now I kind of wish it was because I would of been a couple of steps ahead when it came to be introduced to me again in Uni. However I did manage to get over my fear of Photoshop and actually created quite an alright picture that I was proud of. :)
