Week 4 Social Interaction, Networks and Exchanges

No online work for that week as we were meant to be doing our reflection essays, but i thought I didn't wanna leave my follower of 1 hanging so i thought I'd write a post anyway..... I'm was a little confused about the whole reflection essay thing, at the time I had never written one usually had just done essay that had the traditional question and answer structure. But after getting my essay back and with lots of comments to improve on hopefully I can improve on that mark in my next reflection essay (or at least pass).

Week 3 Webifying Myself

Personally webifying myself creating an online persona) was a little confusing at the start of the semester with so many options to go with, using a myspace, facebook and a blog. In finally deciding on my website plan and layout, Ive decided to use my blog as a page about myself I guess, as well as having the online posts of the weekly work. My myspace and facebook, originally I was going to use facebook as a contact/communicate page and myspace would be the basis of my site due to its simplicity of CSS. However, I still couldn't get around the whole socialising/professionalism dilemma of using myspace as my portfolio (myspace socialising feature and design and a portfolio's professional aspect), so i decide dto use myspace as another contact/communicate page, even if now my website page is less professional than i imagined. Hopefully it will all work out in the end........

Week 10 Mobile Communication (b) Practical Exercise 1

So here is my Mobile communication project that I did with Melissa, gotta love obsessive Disney fans.......lol
Exercise 1
Production Process Report
Concept-Original ideas- rapping to polyphonic ring tone, but found 'Under the Sea' from the Little Mermaid and decided to sing it instead.
Costume-Using the materials available (pens, highlighters, etc) we coloured our hands into the characters Flounder and Sebastian- used the Internet to locate pictures of these characters to help us
Content-Song lyrics were downloaded and printed from a Disney song lyrics website to help us with our production
Location-Difficult to find an isolated location, which would allow us to record without any interruptions. Eventually decided to record against a purple wall, which we used to symbolise the sea.
Production-Utilised both phones in our production- one to provide the polyphonic audio sound, the other to record the video. Took two takes to maximise the production quality of our piece
Post Production-Were not able to post onto the computer using bluetooth, will continue later and attempt to edit the 3 scene music video and post it later for inclusion on our websites.
