Robert’s Blog

This week I finally wrapped up the group project I had to do over the past few weeks. This took a while to do with all the research that everyone had to do to get everything right and ready to go for this project.  My room with Microphone/IPad Pro using GarageBand  Shot by an iPhone camera  For this project, we had to shoot a video talking about how gaming has changed, and it's good or bad. What I mean by that is that in terms of being good would be that the graphics of a game looks good and detailed. There’s a lot of content in the game itself, and with the evolution of technology, game developers can quickly implement and build up their games. The wrong side of this, however, is the continuation of microtransactions which can lead to gambling which would lead to children’s parent's losing their money because they are spending it on weapon skins and clothing items for their character in a game.  That’s what I generally talked about for this project and how I did it ...

This week, I had to revisit my Media ethics blog and make some possible changes to the blog in question. For this, I am going to be giving my thoughts on the matter of why I didn’t really like this task at all. Why I felt like it was a repeat and what changes they could’ve made to the job itself I don’t mind rewriting blogs but doing the same thing over and over again can be annoying at times.  My thoughts on this weeks rewrite To start im going to be honest here, but I’ve already made specific changes back in week 9 for the rewrite. Like I said before, I don’t mind rewriting, but the fact is is that I’ve had to rewrite my blog three times, and for the third attempt, I felt like there was no point in adding too much as I’ve gotten most of it done in week nine rewrite. Now I have added two changes to this. I’ve changed the font as I wanted to explore the blogs tools above to get a feel of them to get used to the idea of using the blog tools more when continuing with my future assign...

Changes For this week, I have to rewrite my blog for the third time. Which blog? The Media ethics blog. It is currently one of the best blogs that I’ve written. Also, it has the most comments on it, which is around six comments with good positive reviews with one criticism saying that I should expand on my thoughts on the videos in the blog that I had to review on.  For the changes, if I’m going, to be honest, I haven’t changed anything much. I mean, in rewrite #2, I’ve made the necessary changes overall which there isn’t much that I can change. If it were another one of my blogs that I could make changes to, it would’ve been good. However, I can only think of two changes that I can change, and they are: Fonts:  I never really have used any of the fonts here, so I thought, why not and mess around with fonts to see if I can find what I like and will probably use the one that I will like.  Subheadings: I have added subheadings already, but the only difference that I’ve made...

For this week im still doing my group project. Im still working on the voice recording. I have to improve on it by purchasing a microphone that can work with the iPad that im currently using, and when I get that finished, I will be done with what I have to do.  There’s not much to say. The group that im working with pretty much have everything done. We, as a group, are just tweaking some of our work, making it better written, especially when it comes to our script. For me, for the writing, I would include some things that can be improved upon. For example, instead of focusing on one game, I could be focusing on another game with a ridiculous story like the first game I worked on. For my script, you tell that it's been rushed, and it doesn’t sound good, which is why I need to focus on that and buy a microphone so that I can use it to get a better recording and a script so that I can improve upon it.  As for the editing, one of the group members can edit well. He is using Adobe ...

For this week, I will be watching some videos on media representation. There are some videos that I will be watching, and after I watch these videos, I will give my thoughts on what they are all about.  Video 1 Why Representation Matters This first video generally talks about representation and why it matters so much, and a needed change. In the video, you have people of different backgrounds, different colours and people of different genders talking about why there needs to be a change in the digital media world of representation, like other stories to be told as a way for people of those different backgrounds, different colours and different genders to watch the content that is happening so that they can resonate with. A way to tackle this issue is to hire people from different cultures to be a creator and let them tell their own story or a story that they know of people that is around them. Have more people of colour in the same room, directing and creative writers.  My tho...
