It is currently my second week of Media Professional Studies, and today's work was based on contemporary media issues. We were asked for this week to bring in an item that personally is significant to each of us, whether this is a special gift, jewellery etc.
I decided to bring in a photograph taken from July this year from the holiday I went on to Tenerife with four of my close friends. I felt this was personal and significant to me as it was my first time I had been abroad, and my first plane journey and also the first time I went on a holiday with no parents or guardians with me. It made me much more independent and was one of the last things I had done together with my close friends, before coming to University.
I was put into a small group with Amy, Daldeep and Matthew, where we had to tell each other about our significant objects and decide how they linked together . Amy brought in an award she had previously won for her football couching which she received at Liverpool Football Club. Daldeep brought in a Liverpool FC jacket as she is a keen supporter of the club, and Matthew brought in a zombie novel 'The Walking Dead' as he is highly interested in this genre.
Once finding a connection between each of our objects, we were to make a presentation and present it to the rest of the members of the course. We used Prezzi which none of us had ever used before. It allowed us to make a presentation that flowed easily and used fun visual graphics. It allowed us to add photos and videos, that were relevant to our objects. It took about an hour to make the presentation and we were all quite pleased with the finishing result. We decided to go first presenting to get it over and done with, which I feel was a good idea, as it meant we wouldn't have to sit and worry through other group's presentations.I usually find presenting hard, but I felt I did okay and having other confident groip members, made it a little easier to get up in front of everyone.
