Reflection & Feedback

My reflection of this mission is that I'm not happy as we missed out on the end product which is having to make something. I was not as confident with this power-point as I was from the last one as in the last one our group got excellent which was a lot to live up to. While looking at other people’s  presentations I  thought to myself that we were missing a part out as all of the other groups made something such as a You tube video or a blog, while we had nothing only our power-point . It was our time to go up and we all done the slides that we did work on. Not having an end product  I felt that it seemed  shorter than everyone else’s.  Our presentation ended and we went down the back to receive our result, we got told that it was close to unsatisfactory which I disappointed about as I put a lot of work into the presentation.
Our presentation ended and we went down the back to receive our result, we got feedback  that it was close to unsatisfactory as we had no end product which I disappointed about as I put a lot of work into the presentation, however we got satisfactory which I thought was a good result considering the work I put into it. Working in groups it is also difficult trying to get a time to meet up that suits everyone which is quiet difficult as setting up group chats is okay for some situations but need to meet up in person to go through who is doing what part and if everyone agrees on the same idea or  if people have a better idea.

What I would change in this mission would be to make a product. This could include  hand out surveys to people and see have people been trolled, if so how many times and on what social media Or another could of been making a fake twitter or Intsagram and post something and seeing how long it takes for someone to comment something negative and how many positive and negative  comments on it. This would have tied well into our presentation as we each picked a social media as described in previous blogs, so after each of us talked about ours we could have then had a slide on what social media has the most people trolled on. We also could have used one word and seen how many comment with only one #.This would be the main thing that I would of changed, another may of been more case studies of celebrities and seen if there is any links with celebrities that get trolled for example more men or woman?.

Process

Unlike the last mission we could not pick our groups and we were put into groups with people who liked the same topic, While me and Andy were discussing the topics I knew that we were not talking about the same concept and the meaning behind the word trolling. We discussed what the mission was actually about and  we were both confused as Andy did not know that there was a bad side which I thought was interesting as that's the only side that I knew of  I text Shaun on slack to ask what was  the right one as I did not want to start and I was doing the wrong topic, Shaun got back to say that it was hate and harassment,  We needed another person for our group and Andy said  that Moe had no group and  he was going joined ours which was good as there was only two of us in a group so we needed a third person .We made a group chat to discuss the mission and when we would meet up .

On Tuesday me Andy and Moe went to the library after our photography lecture to work on our presentation, we went through what information should we put into the slides and the order that should go in we also discussed who is going to look up what information We decided that it would be a good idea to pick a celebrity who has been trolled recently I thought that Jesy from Little Mix would be a good one as she made a documentary and is open about trolling.  As the  main target for trolling is on social media, we also thought that it would be good if we all picked one type of social media to research to see how they prevent trolling I picked Instagram as it is the app the I use the most Moe researched Twitter and Andy done Facebook . I’m only typing this now as I have been going to work straight after college. We’re off college today so I’m going to catch up on presentation work I looked into the documentary by watching it again and taking down notes on the bits that I was going to put into the presentation, I also done a slide on why we each picked the topic and wrote my part to it , and a slide on  topics that we will cover.

11-11-2019 Monday again. Today I went to the library after web development lecture, we were not ment to have this lecture but as the graduation was on Friday we had to catch up. I stayed for 2 hours to work on the presentation I fixed any of my parts that I thought could be better and what I have learnt from doing this .
It was our turn to go up for our presentation and again I was nervous even though I talked in front of everyone before from the previous mission, we all read out the slides that we had done and where our names were.

Why I picked trolling

While looking though the different  topics there was only two that stood out for me the most, hate and harassment along side personal data tracking which also seemed interesting as I thought that it would be interesting to do research on who has access to peoples accounts, bank details and  laptops, however I decided to go for online hate and harassment as it is such a big topic now a days with social media, how socail media is very popular and has grown over the last few years how it has pros and cons such as being able to talk to relatives that live away and seeing how they are doing, so for connection purposes however it can have a negative impact which is one that people to see or notice ,how one small comment by a random person can change a persons life . I recently looked at the Jesy Nelson documentary and I thought that it was very interesting as looking at famous or people who are well know their lives seems to be the dream travelling to different places, working and getting paid for what they love to do and some even get free items to promote  however they all do not have the perfect life and how trolls can change that, looking at comments on social  medias such as Twitter and Instagram there is thousands of comments which are mostly positive however there is  always a comment which is not positive and a " troll" picks out something wrong in the tweet or photo and being an another person looking thinking that comment wont bother that person as they are famous and living the luxury life I wanted to see how social medias try to prevent this to make it a more safer place. Also from looking at the documentary she explains how she has posted pictures on her Instagram which looks like she is happy however she is very depressed in them, this is a big problem with social media today that a person may look happy in a picture however no one knows how they feel, and that one comment from a troll would upset them, this is another reason why I picked this topic as I  wanted to see facts on trolling. The word "troll" has also changed a lot over the past few years as a troller use to be a funny meaning and had a positive meaning while now it has a negative meaning, I  wanted to see how the word has developed over the years.
