Intruduction

   link to picture Introduction   Hello all, my name is Christelle (mostly referred to as Chrissy) a 20 year old student in TUD (Technological University Dublin) studying Creative Digital Media. Firstly, I would like to welcome you all to my blog where I plan to not only share my ideas and experiences but to inspire others but to focus and discuss different types of topics as part as my digital media course.   How I got here As a young girl I have always been so interested in writing, designing, creating etc (specifically writing short stories, novels, poems, film scripts and drawing and crafting).

This meant we had to put in a lot of work, time, and effort to get this project finished properly.  Our task this week was to get the video completed and then uploaded on youtube so that we can present it to the class in the following week. We only had our research and video down so we still needed to: Find a location to record our video Edit the video Upload the finishing product onto youtube And we had just one week. It was very possible to do so however, the problem was that none of us knew how to edit or upload a video onto youtube. This week consisted of mostly just trying to figure things out (which was very stressful). Location The first step was asking one of our tutors to borrow a camera from our school, once we had our camera it was time to begin our recording process. We started by gathering ideas and looking a...
