This has certainly been a week of photographs and videos. On Monday I attended a photoshoot with Jennelle and Delia outside Liquids Nightclub in Uxbridge posing with a cup of coffee and my baker boy hat to show that Brunel students really do have respect for the local area. Unfortunately it did not make this week's Gazette but there is always next week.
Thank you to all the students and staff who gave me brilliant quotes to use in my piece. Hopefully there will be an article published soon....
Thanks to my models who posed outside in the cold like true professionals.
Hopefully the article will show that not all students behave disrespectfully when out and about on the town-just a very small figure and a small minority of the student population.
Today we had to cancel the Brunel University Radio photoshoot because there was only one photographer and he had to attend another story....perhaps it's for the best, we should wait until the presenters are more established in their roles and have lots to say about their shows.
In today's class we learnt about filming short videos and editing footage. It will take a while for the old brain to remember jpgs and other endings after an hour and a half of lines and squiggles in shorthand...plus we were still recovering from our tests....it's too soon. Better start revising.
Anyway check out 'News and Reviews' on Monday if you listen to URB on-line. If there are any volunteers who would like to help the station with engineering, you're urgently needed so that we can broadcast to a mainstream audience. And speaking of volunteers, the station also needs funding for an FM licence, so if you have any ideas please contact the marketing team at URB.
Here is my first video of the class showing everyone hard at work learning the video recording/editing software. This is a short film I recorded on my digital camera, at the most amateur level, but it's good practice. Please excuse the feeling of unease as I move the camera quickly across the room, I was trying to capture as much as possible in as little time.
I will keep you posted on my endeavour to master my digital camera....
