The Case

Well this morning, we had Ps. Brad talk to us, debriefing and telling a story. Next Brad assigned me to help Joel with the studio setup, so we can interview Ms. McQuaker and Ps. Craig Murison. Most of the time after that I was shadowing people, so I can learn about Photoshop and Vegas. After school I captured video from the interview with Ps. Craig Murison. At the end of the day I was backing up everyone’s work so we don’t lose it. I also tried to create a panorama photo from Marc’s Photos that he took, but after about 45 minutes I gave up because all the photos were still being processed on the computer.

Check back tomorrow for another update.

Hey everyone,

Today was another busy, fun and full of learning day! The first thing I did today was help set up the cameras in the studio (with white balance, focus) so we can start doing our interviews. The first person we interviewed today was Ps. Craig Murison, who is the Principal of Mackay Christian College, the second person was Mrs Lesley Tunnah, Head of Secondary of Mackay Christian College. We also did a podcast shoot with Ps. Craig and Mrs. Tunnah to put in our podcasts. We had to be quiet during the shoot, so we wrapped masking tape around the stairways so no one could get in. The afternoon for me was to learn how to capture video footage and to also help other students with their blogging in my spare time. At the end of the day I was busy backing up all of the computers so we don’t lose our work.

Thank you for viewing my blog. come back tomorrow for another update

Hey Everyone

Today (Wednesday) I feel was the most productive day for me. Firstly, this morning until morning tea, Brad had a teaching session with the rest of the students, all about Compression in video and audio, high definition cameras and the difference between high definition and standard definition. After our morning tea, I helped with the final touches with the studio and also setting up our printer so we can print our own DVD covers and discs. In the afternoon we used our new studio for the first time, interviewing some of our past students of the Multimedia Camp. We tried doing a podcast after that, but our defuser wasn’t working as the fabric being too thick for what we need it for. So we waited for the late afternoon to start some podcasting. At around 5pm, we had some pizza and some soda for our dinner. After dinner, we had a quick debrief of what we are going to do. Most of us are staying up at the school until 8pm tonight to get more work done.

Thank you for reading my blog. Tune in for tomorrows update.
