iMovie

Today we set off in our groups to film the iMovie required for our digital skills project.

I found working with other people was effective as we could all combine our ideas together and come up with a well thought out final plan.

Not only did working in a group achieve better results, but it made it easier to keep on track and meet the briefs requirements, as sometimes, when working on your own, it is easy to lose sight of the required elements and slip off onto your own little path, miles away from the brief specification.

As a group, we set ourselves tasks to complete tonight so that our development file can be put together. By setting each other individual tasks we are lowering the work load, so we are able to concentrate on other projects we have running alongside our digital skills.

Hopefully we'll have it all done by tomorrow morning :D

Time Management

First day back after the Easter holidays, and I must admit, it was better then I thought it would be.

Since Alison left, we've been pretty much left to our own devices on a Monday and I couldn't find the motivation to do anything. Today, however, was different because we had a new lecturer.

I actually enjoyed the session and found what he was saying quite interesting. He put the points he made into a simple form, making it easier to understand and I felt the session was a lot more focused than previous Monday mornings.

We were asked to create a time plan, in hope that this will help us manage our time more efficiently, so we'll meet important deadlines. I think that this will help me a great deal because if I follow the plan I won't be tempted to go home and watch TV all night or go out with the lads - lol.
