Introduction to the A2 Course

This year my blog is going to change quite a bit, instead of talking about and working towards a opening sequence to a thriller i’ll be working up towards making a Digipack which includes a website, an album cover and a music video. This year its all about creating lots of forms of media which I can't wait for because this is what i find most enjoyable about media studies. When it actually comes to the work that is going to posted on the blog this year it’s all about coming up with different ways to make a post rather then writing an essay. 

From doing a blog in the first year has allowed me to realise what are the best way to structure and keep your blog interesting. I have also learnt that that it’s very important to vary your posts so using videos, sound clips, presentations, diagrams etc. The reason why this is so important is it makes your blog more interesting to read, rather than just having a big chink of text on your blog you have a variety of media on there talking about the work you are doing.

I believe that my blog from last year had a good amount of detail with lots of pictures to illustrate the writing, I also thought that I had a good layout and that my blog looked clean and not over cluttered. What I would like to improve in is having a variety of different posts using a lot more different technologies to produce them for example a increased amount of videos, Soundcloud audio, Prezi’s and so on. So overall i would like to have a increased number of posts on my blog but also have a lot of creativity put into theses posts, so talking about creativity here is a post that I have made talking about my favourite music.
