First Blog

I have no idea how to use this thing but I might as well give it a try.

Hi!

My name is Lydia (Axel) Bell and I am currently taking BSc (Hons) Multimedia, Animation and the Web at Anglia Ruskin University. The reason that I took this course as my pathway to the future is because I would like to improve my editing and story writing skills so that I can turn it into an animation or show one day within the media or game industry.

For the first couple of days at starting the modules for this semester, I've already started to gain ideas for my Introduction to Sound class as I'm working on a filming project in my spare time as well as working on the script for the film project.

My subject FINALLY relates to my interests!!!!!!

In Learning and Skills Development for HE and Work, we were told about the PDP, an academic paper and a presentation that relates back to the academic paper which discusses whether the public are ready for 3D TV. Even though the academic paper can start in another blog, the SWOT Analysis was simple to create.

SWOT Analysis

Strenghts
  • IT skills
  • Maths
  • Story Writing
  • Editing
  • Filming
  • Reports
  • Art
  • Group work
Weaknesses
  • Spelling
  • Understanding the work
  • Listening
  • Reports (Attention span ^^)
  • Skim reading to find something that could be useful.
Opportunites
  • Given the higher chance to gain work in the media industry.
  • Get a chance to meet new people
  • Chances to gain work-experience
  • Learn new media and editing skills
Threats
  • Lots of competitors once leaving university
  • With the current recession and the new bugdet cuts, it might be hard to find a new job or work experience.
  • People might not hire due to disability
Hopefully, I'll be about to avoid coming into threats in the future while studying the course. So long as I can learn how to use the editing system on the Abode programmes.

Learning Line






This is my learning line. My learning line is still basic as I have mostly gone through education with some voluteering by the side. I hope that once I leave University, my learning line will expand hugely within the world of world




The PDP is basically a Personal Development Plan that you will have during travelling down your chosen pathway. While your record of achievement comes from your time within school and college, a progress file begins at university while personal development and appraisal will be your time at work.

Benefits of PDP
This allows the person to gain a better understanding about themselves and helps them make the approprite choice for their chosen pathway.

While in year one, it's best to find some form of a mentor that would help with projects that they should know about, just so that the person that does the work can become better at it. In year two, it's really helpful when students getv involved in voluteering, some form of mentoring to help the year below or try to get work experience that relates to the pathway that is being taken. Not only will this looks good on a CV but it also allows you to gain more experience.

A lot to look at but properly as easy as creating essays.

Maybe....

Properly not.

Well, this seems a bit long for my first blog but it's better to be careful then writing too short.....right?

  1. A good reflective piece of work. I noticed that you seem to think that your paper should be about whether the public are ready for 3D television. This was just an example idea for the paper - I would prefer that you go and find a subject for yourself - you sound as though you are interested in film, so why not write your paper on some aspect of what is happening in the film industry at the moment?
