Task 4 Evaluation – Digital Media

Digital media, in the new world everything is digital from newspapers to how we consume video from youtube to Netflix and tv shows. This unit showed me how important editors and people in the media industry are with the first task of research.

Task 2 was the hardest for me as I find it quite hard ta design and it doesn’t come as natural to me as editing and mixing sound. I tried really hard and did my research but I still found it hard. I tend to create systematically that’s where my OCD kicks in that I need to used the round numbers and it has to be symmetrical. This is what I created in my newspaper.

As for my showreel, it’s intended to be future proof, since the edit is systematical and to show the project how it is intended to be used rather than in a showreel. Overall I also hate research but this opened my eyes that it’s important in production as without having carried out good research before hand the end result won’t be up to the standard required.

Everything in this unit was visual the way I like it but this had a set back to me as I was trying to create the horizontal lines form the images but I didn’t see it fit.

Tips given by both lecturers were very useful even when using rectangles to measure it digitally.

Overall a very good learning experience and one which I intend to put into practise while producing future works.
