Back for a final year at college, and it's different already. Everyone's chosen their paths with this media course, as have I. I am now in a publishing class, which we plan to design, print, copy, present, and more. We had an introduction to the course, which is easy to refer back to if I ever need re-focusing.
Next, we got familiarised with the equipment in the studio. We had to take photos of others, and set up the lighting and set, so we can add our own photos to our projects and articles, etc. We all had a blue backdrop, and used two lights - one pointed at the backdrop and one aimed at us. My photo (my google picture) was really well lit and focused, and I didn't have to do much editing apart from cropping and being extra fussy with levels.
Finally, we got given an exercise to kick-start our brains. We were given a product, and had to find a way to sell it and make profit. We were given the product of a UV wristband that changed colour in sunlight or UV bulbs. In a group we came up with ideas such as using them for events at nightclubs or bars, or even having them as collectibles. Our best idea was a 'warning' band for over-exposure to sunlight. Fun for kids and reassuring to adults. Next week we will receive projects and more exercises.
