Some Feedback Quotes from Others which I collected on post it notes:

"I think you should have started with the video you made before explaining it"

"You have started from scratch and come so far! Your presenting skills have come a long way" - Sergio

Some photos of our trip to CSV media.

We worked with lots of artists who have helped us in the sessions and going to csv was really helpful. we got a tour and got to have workshops with media professionals

Me and Harry were interested in filming so we got to do a workshop with the vxm team there who do lots of videos of events and we saw the talent shows film they made.

CSV invited us to be crew at the music day in Ipswich and help them in the future, they have courses and an education section too so there is a chance to get involved.

Here are some photos from the filming workshop with VXM - we learnt about cameras, how to use a tripod and when to, and we used them to film an event with Rachel and Mat

Presentation is only 6 days away, should hopefully be moving onto the gold arts award.

Still need to talk to Ben or Michelle about snacks, equipments and what time is my presentation going to be.

60 POSTS - Finally have reached 60 posts on my blog!

AMAZING!!!

I did have a long chat with her, asking her questions about my event. Including health and safety and what I need to know about the arts centre like fire procedures and whether I can bring refreshments.

The date may change over the pass weeks depending on who can make it and who can't.

Inviting friends to my event!

Last Thursday was the begining of something amazing! Me starting 6th form, which by the way is amazing! You get a couple of free periods a week, I think everyone agreed was fair.

The subjects which I am studying at 6th form is IT, Photography, Media Studies and Business Study. I will also be studying hebrew every Thursday from 3pm till 3:55pm.

Last Friday or Monday (not to sure) was awesome accept for when my media group was filming for 2 lessons straight, and when it turned out that the camera that the we was using to record had a video card issue which meant that our work could not be uploaded to any of the computers.

When Luke one of the person who I was working with asked sir why can't we upload our work onto the computer, he just said "You should of check the equipment before using it" But when I said "How could we when we can play back the video" Sir replied with "You can't" -_-

This is because I have missed a whole month of 2 quotes of the week.

"Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy"

"If you're going through hell, keep going"

"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream"

"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail"

"Develop success from failures"

"Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success"

"I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom"

To be able to book the MediaHub room in the Arts centre I will have to email Michelle, which I will very soon because the event is in 2 weeks time.

Weakness of emailling

Worry about my grammermore often than I should

Short to medium sentences

Paragraphs - Too long (Not really necessary)

Stength's of emailling

I normally double check my email, sometimes tripple

Don't really forget vital information that need to be included

Strength's of event

Not afraid to talk

I won't foget anything that is to be needed for my event

NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING THEY THROW AT ME (metaphorically speaking)

I will be prepared

Weakness of event

I don't take criticism well

HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE TELL ME TO TALK SLOWER!!

Don't like it when I have to repeat myself 3 or more times because they couldn't understand me!!

I will most likely leave the room if I here people laughing when I'm talking or if they have a confused facial expression.
