2nd year, 1st semester. Although I’m a first year technically. I remember, this time last year I was in Engineering and my morale was very low during this time, projects were due and exams were looming. I did not enjoy the program at all and it ultimately led me to drop out of Engineering (as most people did). Now it is a new beginning, I decided to chase what I loved doing which was media. Quite a bit anxious what was to come before starting this semester, now after 11 weeks I feel comfortable being here.
I’ve learned a lot over this semester, learnt how to shoot, edit videos, how to record, how to think differently about media or learning in general. I’ve opened my mind to my thinking and to what I can accomplish and this course has accomplished that for me.
So what is to come? Studios, getting to the grit of things in a sense. This semester was all about introductory and learning the theory of being media practicians, next semester onwards it would be about putting this theory into practice. This is exciting and turning over this new leaf this semester has opened up new opportunities and way of thinking in terms of learning and in life.
