Creativity: Update 3

The Project is nearly over and I'm looking forward to putting the final touches on this presentation. I can't wait to see all the interesting and unique ideas everyone has come up with over the last couple of weeks. It has been an interesting project and I'm quite happy to say we as a group did a great job. We had no problem coming together and working hard to produce something amazing. I have learnt a lot from researching the history of GIf's and there is quite a lot that I didn't know. It's amazing at how something so small can grow into something so big over the course of a couple of years.


On the day of the presentation everybody was a little bit nervous about showing their own presentation in front of the group. We were lucky in the sense that we had a small group of people to show our work. I was so nervous that I forgot my classmates name when I was passing over to his section the read from the PowerPoint Presentation. I felt really embarrassed and didn't know what to say but in the end we all had a good laugh at the end of it.

Creativity: Update 1

In today's class of Introduction to Digital Media we were given our first project which we must complete over the coming weeks. We had to create an animated GIF and present it in a PowerPoint presentation as part of a group project. At first, I was horrified at the idea of doing a presentation as I am not great when it comes to speaking in public, as I can sometimes get extremely nervous. When it came to be finding the best people to work with, I was lucky as they were individuals that I've already become good friends with. Ron and Cian are very nice people and I know I can rely on them to get this project done the right way. Since we decided to go with an animated GIF for a project, I decided to take it upon myself to create a group page using WhatsApp. I felt this would be a great way of communicating since this is something, we have been using to keep in touch with others in our creative development class. This way we would be able to keep up to date with any ideas tha...

Culture: Update 2

This new assignment was quite interesting as we had to create a project based around culture. This would be a little bit tricky as we were only given this assignment the day before we finished up for the reading week. This meant the only time we would be able to meet up and work on the group project would be over the days we had off.  This was a little difficult as each of us would need to arrange transport to meet up and work on our group project. This was a little tricky as each of us were coming from different locations such as Cavan, Navan and Ballivor. We decided that Navan would be the best place to meet up as it was easily accessible for everybody in the group and there was a nice little coffee shop their where we could work in peace and quiet. I think Keith, Wiktoria and I really wanted to develop a strong and impressive idea in which we could be proud of. This was one of the reasons why we chose to do our assignment on blogging as we felt we could truly get...

Methodology: Update 3

Looking back on the project now I really wish we could have done a lot more with it. I think if we had more time to develop our concept instead of focusing on recording ourselves. We could have created a nice smart video animation with some nice voice over work from each of us in the group. I do think we personally focused way too much on the video aspect of the project instead of developing interesting ways of presenting our content. I feel if we could have presented our information as a video infographic with a bit of tongue and cheek humour, we could have had something unique. But unfortunately, we didn’t have the time. Every time I see the video it makes me cringe as I know we could have done better if we spent a bit more time and effort on it. Working with people from other groups maybe sounds good in theory but it causes a lot of issues when it comes to arranging group meetings. Not everybody is willing to make the effort to meet up and because of this the projects suffers. ...
