Friday....yet again...

A screenshot of iweb, which we used to put our epk projects together.

This week after coming back from the October holidays we have to finish our EPK projects, which I have now successfully done at 10.45am on Friday 23 October. On Tuesday with John we finished our podcasts for the website, however my groups is not quite done. Yesterday Gavin was off so we got sent home.On the Friday before the holidays, Brian showed us how to scan our drawings onto the computer and start colouring them in with photoshop.

Friday 9 October...

Last Friday with Brian we continued with our A2 development sheets, using both the pcs and art equipment. On Tuesday with John we split into our groups and worked on podcasts for our EPK, John was off so it was only Karen and I that did it. On Tuesday afternoon Angie was off so Brian took us for her class, we continued with our work from Friday and I help Karen get some ideas for her sheet. On Thursday morning in Gavins communication class we proof read our music review articles and were given the brief for our next project, which is to write another music review but based on our own music choice. In the next class with Gavin we discussed storyboarding and made a start on storyboards for our own short films which we have to make, based on the idea "The Chase", then we had a half day off. Whooooo!

On Friday morning we were told by Ewan that we had till the friday after we came back from holidays to finish off our EPK's and I panicked, as Karen and John have both been off for most of the days we had to work on our EPK's and we have hardly anything done. I have had to copy and paste info onto the EPK as there is nothing written up, and work myself to put the website together.

Both msn.co.uk and bbc.co.uk offer customisable homepages without logging in, allowing the user to choose the information that they want displayed on the page. Both sites have weather feeds that can be set to the users hometown and news feeds. There is a huge selection of other selections, such as news, sport, entertainment and more. MSN offers a more commercial side, with advertising, shopping links, whereas BBC has more of its own content on offers, such as children's programming, BBC iplayer and a food section.

It's Cold, it's raining, it's Friday again....

Last week on Friday afternoon in Brians class we continuted with our projects, then continuted with them in Angies classs on Tuesday afternoon. This week, on Tuesday we worked in our groups having a look at iweb, doing some trial pages for our project and doing some research with John. On Thursday in Gavins class we did a review of a Linkin Park song as a practice for our assesment and in the afternoon we looked at language and video, discussing scenes, camera angles, lighting etc. In Lauras class we went to the library and looked at the online database. On Friday in ewans class we had a look at html, then worked in our groups on our projects and did our blogs.

Today we are learning about html, it's friday morning and its raining.
