Reflection

I felt that our presentation was good as shows all of our different sections and the work we have worked on, something that I would change would to make an actual video as looking at the other videos they all looked interesting to watched and looked like a as good to make, while ours was more on facts which is what the previous presentation have been about and we got the opportunity to be free on this one we should have took up on that offer.
I'm just after looking at the the result that we got and i'm happy with the results in previous presentations when getting a results we would go down the back of the class and talk to Shaun and to hear feedback however during this mission it was graded by rubric system which was interesting however we did not get any feed back which would of been nice to hear back to see what I can improve on for the next time, such as feedback from the last mission i knew that I had to push myself for this mission to get back up to that excellent standard as did in first mission.

To improve our presentation I would have changed my voice record as it was very stop and start which made it not flow properly,we also recorded our voice records separate which also made the flow of the voice over seem incorrect. That day that we were all together we should have done it all together on the same phone however people had re do the information and what was being included, so perhaps we could of met up one more time to do the voice over. Apart from that i felt that our presentation was good and the concept that we done on Christmas as everyone is from different places was interesting to hear. Something else that we could of improved on would be communication as, while I was on my break on work on Sunday I received a text saying that our presentation was not up to standards and that most of it had to be fixed, Rosie was the person to mix the presentation  and by the time I came home from work she had  rearranged and fixed so that it slowed as before she said that it looked like 3 different power points which is what I did not want as would look like we did not meet up at all. However it was fixed in time for the deadline thankfully.

From  doing this mission I have learnt a lot in terms of how digital journalism has changed so much and how technology has such a big part in every ones lives now a days and how printing use to take hours and hours just to print one page but now with technology and machinery it is seconds before a newspaper is made. I have also learnt how important communication is with in a group as if we communicated properly at the start Rosie would not have to try rush to fix it.

Process

In the lab we were given the last topic for our mission, this one had to be a video. I picked Digital Journalism, Rosie also had an interest in this one too so we decided to join a group, Lucine had no group and asked to join our group, we needed an extra person so it suited well. We discussed what we going to do. This mission had to be a video however we had to freedom to have the video on whatever we wanted or weather or not we wanted to be in video and not like the previous ones that we all had to go up and present the video would just play, however people did not have to be in video. We were looking at suggestions on the website to see one of the suggestions was a map of the world ,we decided to include Christmas into our presentation as it is coming up to that time of the year however we did not know how to include it with the maps. While we were talking just thinking of ideas we found out that we were all from different places I’am from Ireland, Rosie is from England and Lucine is from Armenia, and it was here that Rosie had the idea of discovering Christmas in different countries and see how different it is. We then thought of the idea of a voice over of the video. We then decided who was going to look up information of journalism I done printing and how it has changed over the years , Lucine done radio and Rosie done digital  . We then made a slack group chat to discuss when  to meet up next and id any changes had to be made with the power point.

The next time we met up we were not meant to have a lab however we thought it would be a good idea to meet up and try to get it finished. We all had our information done we just had to put it together, however me and Lucine had to cut some of ours so was not full of text and also would not be reading loads out for ages . While me and Lucine was doing that Rosie worked on the map as she was doing that she asked question about what we do on Christmas. I also done my voice over for my part of the presentation.

It was the day that all of the videos were playing and I seen that ours was 19th and I was dreading listing to my own voice, and watching the other videos and seeing the different varieties and how good some where I wanted ours to be just as good.

Digital Journalism

This mission was different the rest as it had to be in video form, looking at the options I didn't understand how would be able to make a video such as  text analysis and networks but this mission was all about to being creative. Hearing that it had to be a video I  thought that we would all have to be in the video thankfully we could do a voice over. As this was our last mission we were able to get into groups with people outside Group 3 ( my group ) however as everyone has labs at different times I was hoping that someone within my group would be interested in the same as me and luckily there was one more person who wanted to do digital journalism. There is a few different reasons why I picked this topic the first is that I looked at the other options and I didn't really understand what it was asking and how we able to include a video to them, and as this was the final mission I wanted it to be good and not feel the way I did with the last one. I also picked it  because journalism has changed so much over time to newspapers and before that until now where news can be seen on the internet.  I was also looking into journalism before to see what it is like as a career and thought by doing this mission that would show me more guidance in the area and if I would like to go into it or not. There was also so many different options of suggestions of what do to within digital journalism on way to include it this was another reason why I picked this topic as would make me think more than the others as the first one I knew that I wanted to do a podcast and with trolling knew that I was going to look up facts on that,however this one was so broad to make anything into a video was almost a challenge as had to have all the facts and information in a video within a certain time frame.
From doing this mission I hope to learn more about Journalism and see if I would like a career in it or not.
