Reflection

I think for a first attempt at the presentations it went well, we were last to go up which was a bit of pressure as after seeing the others and how good they were everyone else power point also had no mistakes or of they did was minor so I didn't want us to have any and to be just as good as the others , however I was confident with the presentation as we put a lot of work into it and wanted to get a good mark .We had to rush the presentation a bit as we went out of time so did not get to hear the podcast .We didn't mess up which I was happy about as me and Ava were quiet nervous Ellen may have been too but she seemed okay which made me question why was I so nervous maybe she was nervous and just didn't want to say so I wouldn't be. Even though our group 3 is only small we all didn't know each other that well and it was also the first time I be doing a presentation and reading out loud to them, I've always hated reading out in front of people if there is 1 person listening or 100 I will be just as nervous so I was proud of myself and the group for the presentation going so smoothly. As a group of people who barley knew each others names at the start, from working in a group together,  I  think that we worked well in a group as working in a new group can be difficult as people can have different opinions and suggestions within a group and everyone thinks that their idea is right, however that did not happen with this group we all cooperated together and let each give their suggestions.
Recording the podcast when someone messed up we guided each other  in the right direction and made sure that we all sounded and was just as good as each other
Getting our feedback we got told that this was the best one out of them all which I was proud hearing that as we put a lot of work into this mission. We then got asked what we think we should get  and we all that satisfactory ,however Shaun thought that our presentation was very good and gave us an excellent which I was happy about as we
One thing that we could have improved on was to be perhaps but small bits of the podcast on each slide so could hear throughout the presentation. We put it into slack so that everyone could hear. Overall i really enjoyed doing this first mission and happy with our result.

Process


In the first lab we had to pick our groups me and Ellen both liked the idea of doing a something to do with digital audio. We decided to do a podcast as we both had an interest in them, so decided to join a group together. However we had to go in group of threes we asked the people who were not in who was the most interested in the mission, Ava got back to us and asked could she join our group
Continuing on from our previous meeting in the lab, me and Ellen met up in the library to keep working on our mission. This will have been the third time that we have meet up this week. Today we went through  what our podcast will be about, we decided to go with the topic of "Stating College" as we did not know each other that well and wanted to see different views of starting college and how felt. We then came up with questions for the podcast, the type of questions we thought of was to find out each others back rounds for example one of the questions was "what did we each do before this year?" which was quiet interesting to see what we done as was all very different answer's., After thinking of the questions we than continued our work on the power point in terms of  saying why we each picked it and our favourite podcast. After a lecture tomorrow me and Ellen will meet up again to try get as much as a group before we work be ourselves over the weekend .

Today Ellen and I went to the library again to work on our mission as we had a 3 hour gap from our first lecture at 9-11  until next lecture which isn't until 2. The day is going very slow and dragging at least its Friday. Today we discussed our answers to the questions and the layout which the questions will be asked so that the same topics are followed one after another and not jumping from one topic to another and then back to the first as it will be difficult for the listener to know what we are talking about . We all will work on it over the weekend, I will do my part when come home from work on Saturday and Sunday as in work at 8 tomorrow.

Today I met up with Ava and Ellen to record our podcast it took us a while as we couldn’t find a quiet place to be able to record it luckily the student council let us into the new SU room as it’s not official open so was quiet in there. We took 2 attempts of records as the first one was a bit stop and start as was just getting use to using voice memo and the flow of the questions  as could hear us with the paper that the questions were on. The second attempt was much better as it flowed more and we remembered the order of the questions so was no interruptions.
16th-10-2019
 Today we had to present our presentation in front, I don't know why but I was a bit nervous. We were the last group to go. We each presented the parts that had our name on it as it was our own opinion. we practiced who would say what and looked over lines

Why I picked Digital Audio

There was a lot of options such as making a gif or to make a game which sound interesting to make however, I picked this mission as I found  digital audio the most interesting out of all them . I also picked it as digital audio is everywhere such as, sound coming out of the television to the sound from a voice memo on Whatsapp and Snapchat. I wanted to look more into digital audio and see how does the sound come out and how it is actual made, as it is something that people just take for granted and don't know how and think of how the sound  comes out of the radio in the car? or over an intercom in a school or a shop.  On the topic of radio this is also another reason why I picked it as this would be something that I wouldn’t mind going into which has a similar idea to podcast as talking to people. I also have an interest in music and this is another reason why I picked it.  Reading more into the mission and seeing one of the suggestions was being able to make a podcast I had an interest in this as I listen to podcasts  the main one is the IT Galz. Podcast have become very popular over the past few years as there is now a section on Spotify that is specifically just for podcast this has made it easier for  people to listen to them while on walks or out doing the shopping, there is a podcast for everyone as many different genres . Even clothing companies such as Pretty Little Thing have podcast who they talk to models on about their lives.
 I had an interest in making a podcast to see how hard it is as listing to them everything seems to go so smoothly however looking into them and knowing about them a few people pre record them to prevent having any mistakes. It also seems to be very relaxed as don't know who is listening and no one can see you as what look like, that what look like dosnt matter but the talent that they have talking. As I mentioned I would have an interest going into radio and this is one of the reasons as I'm not comfortable talking in front of people but podcast and radio no one can see.

Introducton


My name is Niamh, I’m 19 from Dunboyne, I work in JD sports in Blanch. I done a plc last year in Dunboyne In animal care and realised that it was just not for me, as I’m on the topic of animals I have one dog called bubbles,

I choose this course as I have an interest in photography, and it seemed like a very interesting course. From doing this course I hope to get a job in something to do with photography. I also have an interest in sport and play Gaelic , this is also an option I could look to get a job in something to do with sport. I play Gaelic for St.Peters Dunboyne senior ladies we had our championship final recently and lost against Simonstown.  I enjoy going on adventures and seeing new places and love travelling and going on holidays, I also enjoy going to festivals this year I went to sea sessions in Donegal and Electric Picnic. This was my first year going to both and both were completely different sea sessions was when I first seen it  however it was nothing to EP. I enjoy socialising and getting to meet new people and do things with my friends such as shopping and cinema. It’s difficult to make plans with friends though as everyone is working at different times and in college which is hard. In terms of college it his completely different too school, which is good in a way as its a good change but Im not the biggest fan of change and this was very different to both the plc and school.
