Editing With Photoshop

This is a area of media i like to look at the editing and the graphics of it. Where were today to take three images of something we see on a regular basis or everyday life and upload them onto photoshop and edit them, i felt a lot of my images where a stronger image before editing and didnt work well when edited. I found this task useful and gave me a better in sight to photoshop.

Creating a Wiki

Today in Comtemporary Media Issues we were asked to bring in a media article. I brought in with me a article i felt i had some knowledge about, television. My article was based on the tv programme The Only Way Is Essex and the reality or the fakeness of it. We was then catergorised into groups according to our articles subject area and asked to create a Wiki, linking our articles together. We found after talking about our articles that we had a majority of links about Reality TV and the Social Networking and also how the media change our perception of people and reality. Also how social network is changing TV. Looking at our Wiki, follow the below link: http://contemporarymediaissues.wetpaint.com/page/TV

Storyboard sneak peak..

Here shows a sneak peak to our storyboard we created consisting of 20-30 images. We decided as a group to go with a murder idea as there was lots of ideas we browsed through some that would be easier than others to do. As a group we can up with the idea of a voudoo doll that a boyfriend places on his ex girlfiends teddy (rabbit) and that whenever she threw this rabbit away it would apper back in a place you wouldnt think it would adding excitment and tension to the plot. At the end of the story there is a twist, the girlfriend is saw as at the bottom of the stairs dead with blood down the side of her head but. At the top of the stairs is stood the voudoo rabbit and the boyfriend making the twist insinuating who killed the ex girlfriend? Overall the storyboard i felt was really fun and good to make, we put a lot of effort into what we produced paying lots of detail to each and everything, as a whole the group ended up with a mark of 2.1 with we where all very pleased with and found was a good result considering it was something new we had all never done.

My memorable item

My item was a pair of earings. I chose this object because it signifies a memorable part of my life. They where given to me by my nan when i was just 5years old for my birthday, my nan had them shipped in from spain and since then i still from today have never wore these ear rings. I dont have a reason for not wearing them because they are nice i just dont like to wear expensive jewelery i prefer costume jewelery. After discussing with my group my memorable item we went on to learn to use prezi i found this easy and fun to do as i enjoy to make presentations just not presenting them as i become nervous when speaking infront of groups of people.
