Production Diary

Friday 7th January


This Friday at college we had to chose two out of three groups that caught our intrest. These groups were,

• Music
• Video
• Print

I decided to chose Video and print. The reason I chose these two choices were because I found these the most appealing to me. The music looked intresting, but it did not really meet my intrests.
For the rest of the day the people who chose music went into the recording studio and found out what they would be doing, meanwhile the people who didn't choose music were to watch the music students and     learn breifly how things work in the recording room. We learnt how to turn on the sound and speak to the students in the other room using the deck.


Friday 14th January


This Friday at college the first hour of our Media lesson was spent on finishing our blogs. The second hour, was spent in the theatre watching bands play for us. My favourite was The Squeeze because they were creative had personality and they showed alot of emotion. 


Friday 21st January


This Friday at college, we spent a while on our blog sites. Then after that we then proceeded to our first Video lesson. In this lesson, we learnt all about white balance , the auto button and focus. I enjoyed this lesson because I learnt all about how the camera works and i would now know how to take a picture in the right mode.
