Introduction




 Hi everyone!

I am so excited to be writing my first post on my blog! My name is Kotryna, I am 18 years old and I just did my leaving cert exam this year. One of my hobbies is cross training and gym, I’m really into eating healthy foods and just being healthy in general. The two things that mostly occupy me is definitely sports and art, I’ve always been interested in design and arts and I believe I’m a very creative person. I’ve done a lot of art in school, I even joined many art schools but now my options are limited to do this as a hobby because of covid-19 restrictions. 

I’ve always been very interested in having a creative career for my future. I desire to work as a graphic designer or game developer/animator. When I was searching for college courses that I believed were best for me, Creative Digital Media caught my eye the most as it has a bit of everything and it gives me an opportunity to explore with different types of creativity, for example like photography. I have never had any experience with cameras or photography before and I’m so excited I’m getting an opportunity like this. Creative Digital Media is definitely one of the most unique courses where you get to explore and open up your mind a lot 

I am most looking forward to learn about web development which I did not expect as when I was reading about this course I thought web development would not be something I would like at all. After I had my lectures this week I realised web development was definitely the most interesting out of them all and definitely sounds the most challenging. This is why I find this course so interesting as I would have never thought about even looking into web development and now it’s the module I’m most excited about in this course. I feel like this module could definitely turn my head into a different career path, like web design!

Looking forward to catch up next time, bye!

Rewrite #3

    Hi Everyone, This week we made more progress with our groups for our projects. We met with our group to discuss all the research we have done for our project during reading week. The topic of the research was how cultural remixes were taken from cultures. The topic of the research was how different cultures influences in todays films, TV shows, etc. When we met up we decided for the video that we don't want our faces included. Kris has taken responsibility of animation for our video. We also decided for the video that we will use the B-roll step. This step is basically where you get all the shots/details for the video. We are adding this to make the video interesting to watch for the viewers.  When we met up this week in our Introduction to Digital Media lab we decided to start to write our script for next week. Kris will be doing the introduction to the video and also the animation and the rest of us will do the rest of the script. We began compiling our resear...

Another Revision

  Hi Everyone! This week I had my peers give feedback on one of my blog posts, and I had to rewrite my blog post based on the feedback I got to create a better post. I found this week's blog to be quite difficult as the feedback was very positive and I honestly didn't know what to rewrite or what to do as I was happy with the post already. It took me a bit more time than I expected but I did end up rewriting it successfully and I'm even more happy with how it turned out in the end. I read an article that really helped me rewrite my blog. In the article what really helped me was when I looked at the relevance and importance of the content that was in the feedback. I realised that I needed to give more factual information and less of waffling about unnecessary information in my blogs. I also thought about the things I could have included and why I didn't include them. Where I was going with my sentences in some areas and if they were clear to the audience and not just me....

Post Production

 Hi Everyone! Today I will be talking about my finished production of my project and how me and my group got on during the weeks doing this project. We have everything finished at this point. All that is left is to put everything together and make sure there are no mistakes or problems with the video. When I was first put into my group for cultural remixes I did panic as I literally had no clue what this topic was about, as we started to talk with each other in the group about the topic I actually started to get really invested in this project. I started to do my research at home after the lab we had and I found it enjoyable. I tried to research a lot of examples of cultural remixes that were taken out of context completely and that were turned into something else. I also looked at copyright issues in cultural remixes. The research I found the most interesting was when I found cultural features of video games and game usage in society.  That was all my research I did for the v...
