Friday 19th March.

I've decided to update my blog on Friday's now as its much easier to write about the whole week in one go.

On tuesday in John's class, We've to make a podcast version of our article's. I spent the time, Mucking about with the script as i don't want it to be exactly the same as my article, Which was harder than i thought. I also used the time to find images that i may use for my podcast. I actually found quite alot. I also discovered that Tim Burton done a fashion shoot. The pictures are amazing! I love the model's hair & clothes =]

in Angies class i started painting my clay letters. I made an E & a G. I made my E with air dry clay. I tried to be a bit creative & i put a paint brush on the bottom of the "E" I also put a love heart at the top of it & put a smaller "G" On it as it means something to me. We had a few problems with my other letter as it was too heavy & wouldn't stand. So last week we put wire inside it to help it stand. But when i went to put on the undercoat it fell to bits hah. So we tried glue, It fell apart even more, So we used modrock covered in glue.

On Wednesday in Taylor's class we've to come up with an idea for a theme park, We need to decide on what country & what theme we're actually going to have. I'm in Abee, Rab, & Dawn's group.

Then in Gavins class we were finishing off the recording for the radio station, Me, Kayleigh & Alan went to record some news, As we were using the art cupboard, as it's the closest thing to soundproof hah, We started recording then the pipe in the cupboard went a bit mental so yeah. =]

Today in Brian's class, Everyone is finishing their articles or making the final touches. I finished mine last week so i'm waiting for everyone else so i know exactly what i'm doing. Also. I'm very ill. Dying from the flu. Bad times. >=[

Friday 12th March.

Today i finished of my article. I had to finish typing it all up on word then put it onto scribus plus the images. But i had a few problems with scribus. It kept crashing & i kept losing my work so i had to start from scratch like 5 times. I restarted the mac after this & it only crashed once but i had saved it like 2 seconds before it crashed. So now i've finally finished :D 

Tuesday i started making clay letters of the alphabet for our magazine i made a E & a G but i got a bit frustrated with it as mine wouldnt stand up so i had to put wire inside it. 

On Wednesday in gavins class, We're doing radio stations, I got put in Dawn & Eta's group. I hate my voice so i didnt record but im taking part in the editing side of it all :] 

Last Friday.

In Brains class last friday (the 5th) we done more research for our articles. I watched Friday night with Johnathan Ross with Tim Burton & Johnny depp on it and i took notes. I've managed to come up with a rough copy of what my article will say. I just need to type it into word, Which i started on Friday. I've also got a few more images to use. 

In Angies class i also finished off my pop art picture. I've made myself a zombie ^.^ & i used a yellow background & for the personal part i wrote lyrics. I'm actually quite proud of it. When i manage to get a decent picture of it, i'll put it up on this :)  

Tuesday (:

Today In John's class, We had to do research on Alloa Tower as we will be making a documentary on Alloa Tower. We then had to pick one thing about the tower to talk about individually. I'm doing the externals of the tower. Such as outside it and talk about the building. Like the fact the walls are 11 feet thick hah. Now i need to do a bit more research and make a script for the documentary. We need to have this done for easter as this will be when we're filming. 

Screenshots of what i done today

I've took screenshots of what i've done to use them as a set of instructions incase i forget how to work pro tools.

Tuesday 2nd March

Last Friday in Angie's class we kept going with our pop art, which is pictures of ourselves. I've decided to make mine look like im a zombie ^.^ as it's abit different. I actually quite like it. Its not finished yet but it's getting there.

In John's class at the moment & we're using pro-tools. I've took a

 couple of screen shots to put up on this when im finished. We need to record us talking to get us used to recording. I hate the sound of my own voice so im a bit reluctant to do it but i will. I just need to wait until i get the chance to use a mic. i've took down notes on how to open Pro Tools & work it. I've also wrote down notes on what i'm going to say when it comes to recording. Trying to make it as short as i possibly can :L 

Friday 26th Feb.

Today we had a meeting to see who's updated their blogs & things that certain people needed to do. At the start of the lesson i had to download the files needed for today & an article planner, We had to download these files from Moodle. (The college VLE) We used the program Scribus which is a DTP package. & copied an article. We made the first page & had to add texts, Margin's & images. I finished that & now i have a slight understanding of the program. Once i use it more im sure i'll be fine with it.

Now i'm researching the topic i'll be doing my article on. I've been gathering images & more information. I've also found out that Tim Burton will be on the Johnathan Ross show tonight. So i'll be watching that & taking down notes to use in my article.
