I have now finished my FINAL PIECE, and it feels great. its been a long road but I have finally got there. Initially I did not quite understand what to do for this assignment but after I threw my self into it and forgot about my concerns, I think I finally understand what to do well I hope I understood what to. Having said all the I started to really enjoy the assignment after my initial stutter at the beginning.
I was slightly worried that my final piece was not going to work on the computers in the university as I tried it in the library and to my horror it failed to work PANIC TIME! But after seeing Mandy and trying it on one of her computers it worked, so all is well.
I am very sad to say goodbye to my first year at university and Visual Communication. But I am very much looking forward to next year and I am apprehensive at what waits ahead of me.
Until next time Blogger it has been fun.

Research Material

I have had BIG problems in deciding to what research for this project. After initial brainstorming, I decided to start to gather some ideas based around music and sport, as these are major parts of my life. After looking at sport I decided it would be hard for me come up with a final piece based on sport. So I continued to look at music, I researched many areas within music and then moved onto the area which most interested and influenced me.
Once I complete my research material, I will start to gather ideas about my final piece and how I am going to execute it.

Final lesson

It is our final lesson with Mandy. I have found this part of the module very interesting and it has also brought on my ICT skills in leaps and bounds, I can now make a short film, Blogg, use the internet safely when refrencing and use moodle and email successfully. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Mandy's class as she is very kind and will offer help at the drop of a hat. I look forward to moving on to the second half of the visual comms module and I hope to enjoy it as much as the first half.

Bubble Reflection

Evaluating A Website

We decided after our group discussion that we would do our prsentation on the actor and comedian Rob Brydon. After this we then typed his name into Google and we each chose a different site to look at, I chose IMDB, Ryan chose BBC and sam chose Wikipedia. After this we discovered that we were not allowed to use IMDB or BBC so we had to go with Wikipedia. We then site coloned the website and went on from there. In hindsight we proberbly should of chosen another website due to the fact that wikipedia can be very unreliable and the whole theme of the presentation was about validity, acuracy and being able to use the internet propelry.

In The Beginning.

In the beginning I was brought into this world by my mother, I was no bigger than a bag of potatoes with chubby arms and legs. I was brought up by my parents in a large village called Gowerton, I have many fond memories from my childhood of chortling and playing with my friends. I went to Gowerton primary school and then onto the comprehensive, I also studied for my A levels there. After getting my A level results I decided to take a year but I ended up taking three. After leaving sixth from I immediately started working in a clothing store called USC, I was there for two miserable years but I was promoted to footwear manager so not all bad. I then manged to get a job in Olchfa comprehensive school as a TA, I worked there for a year and it was quite possibly the best experience of my life, I would of loved to stay there but the money is not the best. I applied for university with the hope that my experience would be enough to get me onto the Educational Studies course as I do not have the best A level results. I am currently writting this blog in my IT lesson in university so I clearly ACHIEVED MY GOAL! I am enjoying uni life and I am looking forward to the three long years ahead.
