Royal Wedding Piece to Camera

Progress through the multimedia unit

I am now at the end of this multimedia unit of the first semester and I have learned a lot. I have learnt to structure my print stories better using the "Pyramid" technique. Also, when writing print stories I have made my writing style simpler by shortening sentences and avoiding jargon. While writing for print I learnt how to write to deadlines which is very important for a career in journalism. I have made great progress in using the internet. My twitter account allows me to post my blog to all my followers. I can now use SoundCloud and YouTube to add audio and video to my blog respectively. Plus, I use keywords in my blog posts to reach a larger audience.

The longer the semester has gone on, the more comfortable I am with using Adobe software. I feel at ease when using Adobe InDesign, which we used for our newspaper assignments. Once you use the software a few times, you can make your work look amazing. While editing our TV Piece 2 Camera assignment, I used Adobe Premier Pro which again is easy to use, making editing easy.

I feel I could have posted more audio and video content to my blog instead of print. I also think that despite working in a radio station prior to this course, I believe my radio voice could be improved. My speed of talking is good but my voice delivery could be improved. I think my TV Piece to Camera assignment could have been improved because while talking to the camera I was nervous, thus causing me to become very hesitant while speaking.

An example of poor marketing

I was in a newsagents the other day and saw that Men's Health magazine were doing a "Fitness Special"
