At the risk of sounding boring and unimaginative, It's been an interesting first term. It's been nice to have been taught about media, rather than having taught myself, like I've done previously.
As some of you may (or may not) know, this is my second active blog. I've kept blogs before, but they've withered and died after a few weeks. My other blog can be found at danblogs.tumblr.com and I've been updating it daily for about the past 180 days. It's become somewhat of a chore, but I'm determined to keep it going for a year. I was flattered when, in mid-November, I wrote up a report on the Unite Against Fascism protest I attended. Within an hour of the blog going online, I had been contacted by UAF, and they'd uploaded it to their website. This actually led me to get abusive messages from the far-right EDL. But I like provoking moronic racists, so it's OK.
I've edited video and music before, but I've had to learn how to use new programmes. I've attempted to be open and receptive when it's come to lessons. When we started the television module, I was unsure whether I'd enjoy it or not. Turns out, I really do. Once you get over the Welsh twang in my voice, I'd like you to think I'm not a half bad presenter. But that's probably just me being egotistical.
Whilst I hate the sound of my voice, I also enjoyed doing the radio module. It seems like whilst I can't stomach my sound, I'm quite happy for everyone else to hear it. Though it seems simple to the listener at the other end, radio actually is a lot more complicated than I imagined it would be.
Approaching the word count now. Great course so far.
