Today was our final media class for the semester. We reflected on the different elements of the course and how our work has evolved and progressed. The blog is one major component of the course which involved weekly blogs about the class, lecture and correlation between the 2 and the outside world. The blog has been good in enabling me to make connections and create relevance between the topics covered in class and the media effects in the wider world. We were required to develop and expand on the ideas that were mentioned in class, we had to come up with our own take and additions to these concepts. The course also involved the production process, this was my favourite element of the course. It gave us the opportunity to demonstrate our creative and visual skills when creating portraits that represent ourselves as well as another person. This process involved reflection on what represents each individual and how to communicate this and depict it in a media form. Lectorials often had guest speakers talking about media. Workshops usually involved presenting and sharing work which was good to get inspiration from other peoples ideas which in turn influenced my own work. It also enabled you to gage an understanding of what was expected of you and the requirements of the assessment tasks. Readings were often thought provoking and provided inspiration for blog posts. Lastly he course involved a collaborative process where we were required to work worth other people to create a unified and consistent piece.
