Three weeks remaining! Yikes!
I was in on Monday to double check all my work, such as colouring my graphic novel for Comics tomorrow (I hope that it'll be enough). Tuesday, I was busy getting all of my altered images printed, but three couldn't print, so I had to sort them today and now they're all printed.
In Page Layout and Design, I have exerted my leaflet into a PDF file and past it onto Iain, and I hope that it's pass able.
My Animation video is almost finished, I was starting on my end credits and finding a piece of music for the end credits, and I must say I haven't done by bad.
But at the end of the day, my USB stick was playing fools with me (with just three weeks left too!). It has found itself in a habit of ejecting itself, while still being plugged in and with files on it still open, so I have had to ask Nick for help in sorting in getting my USB stick's files onto a new one, I just need to find the missing files and get them sorted.
Tomorrow is Comics, and for Digital Imaging, Alison will be late due to a meeting and I have my printed images to hand in.
I hope that this week goes well for all of us.
Wish us all luck.

175th Blog Post - Review of Week 33 - Steady Progress
This week, I think I have made some good progress here and there.
In Comics, I drew a four page piece of a graphic novel, all I need to do is colour it, and hand in my sketchbook, but I still have doubts of whether I'll pass the class.
In Digital Imaging, all my images are now (I finished them on Monday), and now Alison wants us to print off our images we'r altered one the whole length of the class, then print our workbooks for her.
In Media Project, we have made more progress of the Arrive Alive video while I was asked by Jack to make a list of credits for the video's credits. Iain's PAT class did overlap as we don't have the original room now and he asked us to hand in the assessment for Outcome 2 of Intro to Media Industry with a review sheet he sent to us to put into our assessment so he had write what his review of it is.
Three weeks left, and I'm planning to go into college on Monday morning again and double check everything again.
I need to plan out what to do with my ECDL stuff, then we'll have to see what will happen next.
I hope that next week goes well for all of us.
Wish us all luck.

Week 33 - Goal for Animation Reached
In Page Layout, Iain gave us his review of our reviews of the newspapers and their magazines. Mine needed to be resubmitted, so I've made start to resubmission, but I hope to have it done by next week.
In Animation, I managed to get a camera during lunch break and got all my photos for my animation video all done. I have sorted into their scenes and arranged them in order and altered their duration. All I need to do now is to record some audio and put them into the scenes,, then get the scenes into one video and hopefully that will the animation video done.
I hope that this week goes well for all of us for we have about three weeks left!
Wish us all luck.

Review of Week 32 - Progress for Digital Imaging and Media Project
This week has gone by very quickly.
In the Comics class, we were asked to hand in our work, so I handed in my sketchbook for the class, but I have doubts that I'll pass the class. If Iain asks about it, I will explain what I thought of the class and what have been done to make it more interesting.
In Digital Imaging, Alison had us going outside to take photos using a camera that uses negatives. What with all the digital cameras these days, I was happy to see such a camera and to take photos (two each for everyone), it certainly took me back. Then I continued with my fun with Photoshop and my images, managing to do two or three images. Between PAT and Media Project today, I managed to get about two or three more images done, with another two or three to go, then I'll hand it all in.
In PAT, we filled tick boxes on a page asking about the course since the last time we ticked boxes. In Media Project, we began to make progress with our video about the Arrive Alive event, although we had to change rooms and we might be using our usual room again, but one of the rooms with the Mac computers, but so far, so good.
According to Iain, we now have four weeks left, then we will able allowed to run for the hills. For me, I need to double check with my ECDL Advanced Presentation. I have asked Anne, but, while she told me the college doesn't do the ECDL anymore, she will have a look into it and see what I can do to complete, even if I may have to go the Moray College in Elgin.
I hope that the last month of NC Media at Inverness College goes well for all of us.
Wish us all luck.

Week 32 - Sorting Media Industry Class And Editing Animation
Today went by very quickly.
In Page Layout, we started the first half determining which of the three outcomes of Intro to the Media Industry we had completed and passed. So much so, I think we resubmitted our work for Iain to read. The remaining half of the class was editing our work for Page Layout.
In Animation, I was editing my images for my animation video by sorting the images for scene 2 and altering the duration of each image in the scenes. I asked Alison if I could get a camera early net week so I could make an early start on my animation for I hope to completed the taking of images as soon as possible.
Tomorrow is Comics, and I have found a Tintin comics, The Black Island, in both English and proper Scottish accent, so I'll be commenting on the differences. Then it's Digital Imaging, hopefully I'll get more images done.
I hope that this week goes well for us.

Review of Week 31
The end of another week at college.
In Comics, Katie was assessing another class's presentations, so she let us carry with our work. In Digital Imaging, Alison talked to me about my work so far and suggests that I use different image file types in my filing.
Downloading my images for the Animation class was hardest part, but easily sorted. If you have a OneDrive, I'll admit that it's good for storing files, but a nightmare for retrieving the same files if it's all not in a zip-file. I had to ask Alison if she still had the memory card from the camera I used to download the images, which was successful, all I need to do is put them in Movie Maker and sort the images into the right scenes, and the right order.
In PAT, most of what was discussed was about a filming happening at the college with the drama students. In Media Project, Jack and I attempted a start on the interviews from the Arrive Alive road safety even we filmed and photographed earlier this semester. The audio was a problem as there was deep echo and somebody's phone's ringtone. Hopefully we'll get the two videos finished before the end of the semester.
Next week, I'll need to get more of my animation done, just hope that I won't work overtime at college over it.
I hope that next week goes well for us all.
Wish us all luck.

170th Blog Post - Week 31 - A Day of Animation
Today has been the longest day of the course so far.
In Page Layout and Design, I was busy double checking my information on my leaflet for Iain, while finding out more about the magazine and newspaper review. I managed to make a start on my reviews and completed the magazine one, just need to do the newspaper one before the end of the week. For the information about the leaflet, I might have needed some screenshots of the work as it went along, so I think I'll need to double back a bit, or start a rough layout to get screenshots of the work as it went along.
Animation was a busy day. After making a quick checklist for what has been done and what needs to be done, I got into the making of the animation video, and I have completed scene 2, and made a short start on scene 3. It took a while to figure out how to work the tripod, the camera steady and keep the images focused. I hope that the images turn out alright and I'll get to continue on the remaining two scenes with only five weeks (Yikes!) left before they're due to be viewed (Double Yikes!).
Tomorrow is the Comics class (what confusing instructions will I be getting after only just got to understand them last week?). Then it's Digital Imaging, and Alison is going to talk to the class about the class and the work so far, and she's me picked me to go first so she can "flow" through the class's seating arrangement.
I hope that tomorrow goes well.
Wish us all luck.

Review of Week 30 - May The Fourth...
The end of Week 30 (Week 12 for Semester 2) - leaving just five weeks of the course left (Time does fly!).
In Comics, I have done some reviews of comics and graphic novels I have read, but for the practical part, the drawings I have done have been announced as a "storyboard". The practical side will be storyboarded, then photographed, then drawn into the sketch books. I do wish the instructions makes its mind up!
In Digital Imaging, I managed to have fun with three images, and Alison has told me she'll be checking up on my work next week. I hope she'll enjoy the work so far.
In PAT, little happened.
The Media Project seemed to be in two sections. The first was about checking the paperwork on the two projects we have been doing in class, the Arrive Alive road safety event, and the FLOW Photofest that was just outside the college last month. The second sections (after a good, and needed lunch) was editing the Arrive Alive video, picking videos (after trying to locate some of them) and then editing them down to a reasonable length and altered the audio when there was sirens wailing. Some of the videos, we've agreed, are good, just the audio has mixed reviews. The outdoor audio is alright, but the indoor audio is echoey and may not as loud as it may need to be. But despite all that, we had good fun in the editing and it made me feel like we were at last making progress on the video.
Today is the 4th of May, and some people call it Star Wars Day, in reference of the famous quote, "May The Force Be With You", spoofed as "May The Fourth Be With You". Kieran made a joke concerning the 5th of May, "Revenge of Fifth". Daniel was all for the joke, but then we realised that we won't be in college tomorrow, as it's a Saturday. Ah well, better luck next year then.
One of us (I won't say who) clearly wasn't all for Sat Wars quotes, so I had a go at Star Trek's "Live Long and Prosper".
I hope that next week will go well for all of us.
Wish us all luck.

Week 30 - Less Than 6 Weeks Left
We've got six weeks left (Yikes!)
In Page Layout, I think that I completed my leaflet for the class, but I think that I'll need Iain to see it before I hand it in. I must admit, it was good fun making the leaflet.
In Animation, Alison gave us a checklist for the class so far and what was needed to be done. After updating the workbook, I went over the first scene of my animation in Windows Movie Maker and had a little fun with the timing of the images. I just need to do the remaining three scenes, so next week, I might be working during my lunch breaks, or staying at college a little longer.
I feel more ready for the Comics and Graphic Novels class tomorrow as I have completed my short comics strip, and have done my reviews for the class of the sources given the sources I researched. I just need to make a start on the short piece from the graphic novel, and I hope that it will turn out alright.
Lets hope that this week will go well for all of us.
Wish us all luck.
