This week would have to be another productive week as we are still running on good time. Last week, we recorded audio for both our audio and video essays. And so this week, I edited the audio for the video essay using Adobe Audition. I had to ensure that the volume of each speaker was […]
Read more "Does This Sound Okay?"“The medium is the message.” — Marshall McLuhan A reading that we had this week is Medium Theory: An Alternative to the Dominant Paradigm of Media Effects by Joshua Meyrowitz. One of the key topics that this reading discusses is that idea proposed by Marshall McLuhan; that the medium is more influential than the actual […]
Read more "Did You Get My Message?"For this week’s workshop, we received feedback on our audio essay. We didn’t really need to make a lot of changes other than a few tweaks here and there. We did, however, had to re-record a few things but not too much. Overall, I’m quite happy with how our audio essay turned out. Especially since […]
Read more "Listen to This"In this week’s lectorial, we first got a lecture on work attachments. This is something that we need to complete before the end of our last semester of our final year if we want to graduate. Oh, and one more thing, we need to complete 80 hours of it. Personally, I find this a little […]
Read more "Work It Out"This week was definitely a very productive week for my Media One group in terms of making progress for our fourth project brief. We meet 3 times a week; 2 of them being outside of class time. I think what makes us so productive is that we divide the work evenly and set ourselves goals […]

And if there is also anything that is keeping me going this semester, it would be the fact that in a couple of weeks, I have a 6 […]
Read more "Musical Motivations"One of our readings for this week is Making Public Television Social? Public Service Broadcasting and the Challenges of Social Media by J. Van Dijck and T. Poell. It’s main points are mainly about how television has become more ‘social’ due to the integration of social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, and how this […]
Read more "Are You Still Watching That?"In this week’s workshop, we focused mainly on working on our fourth project brief. My group and I came together and discussed our progress from our Tuesday meetings, as well as plans for our Friday meetings. Our group has been very productive this past week (and you read my progress report here), and it was […]
Read more "Game Plan"In this week’s lectorial, we covered institutions and the type of essays we need to produce for our fourth project brief which is convenient considering my group and I are doing our project on institutions. As summarised by Branston & Stafford (1999) in The Media Student’s Book 2nd Ed, institutions are enduring; regulate and structure […]
Read more "What Did Y-Essay?"If there’s anything I’ve noticed on Instagram, it’s the rise of having a particular ‘feed’. I’m not going to lie, I, myself, are trying to achieve a certain feed for my profile. This means applying the same filters on your photos, or only posting certain photos to create your own feed. There is also a […]
