Blog post 2/3 - Digital Journalism 
25-8/11+12/19

 For this mission we used many different kinds of resources like websites and search engines, we watched videos on youtube, of youtube news to get inspiration from, we also used Megan's film camera to record the video of us being hosts, we then used our phones for the videos from the "paparazzi's" aspects, we use Premier Pro to edit the video, we also recorded voice memos while filming our video in case the microphone from the camera wasn't good enough, but it was so we didn't end up using that.

 The research part of this mission was the most fun of all, because I had to mostly watch videos of different news channels, after getting inspired we decided to make our news very fake and unrealistic hence why Kylie was pregnant with her fifth baby and Lindsey was cutting her hair after breakdown on camera.

 We found a small empty room on campus after looking for a while and decided to file our intro, of us as hosts, there. We filmed this part of the video a few times as we couldn't control our laughter and sometimes said the wrong things, it was all a very fun process though!

When it got to the part of actually filming the videos from the "paparazzi's" aspects, I had to change, which was the worst part of this mission and a process I would never want to repeat after finding that spider in the sink, as I've mentioned in my last post.
We recorded the videos of the "celebrities" (Kylie) outside the D block, which was so embarrassing especially for me, as I had stuffed my shirt with my scarf to create a fake baby bump and had over-lined my lips with liquid lipstick to pose as Kylie, this was embarrassing because it was filmed outside while people were walking past us and staring.



Lindsey's part of the video was filmed inside, thankfully, in the room where we filmed our
introduction. I brought in hair extensions to make it look like I was actually cutting my hair. I couldn't keep it together while filming this part, I kept laughing, making us have to retake it a few more times. Even with the video we ended up using, I was laughing because no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't.

 The filming process was very fun, we got a good laugh out of it and a sense of relief that we were one big step closer to finishing this mission all that needed to be done now was the editing, which Megan did most of. None of us had much experience when it came to editing so we watched youtube videos on how to and decided that video was going to be edited on Premier Pro. We used our own images and music to avoid the video getting copyrighted which added an original yet not very original aspect to it.

Thank you for reading this blog post!

Mission 2- Culture Process Blog post 1/3- Digital Privacy 21-25/10/19 For this mission, again, we got into groups of three, my group consisted of myself, Aaron and Sean. We chose to do our project on "Digital Privacy" because we found this topic very interesting and there's so many different topics we could've done it on. After choosing to do it on Digital privacy we met up in the canteen for about an hour or so to discuss what Digital Privacy was, how many slides we were gonna do, who's gonna do what etc, we made a WhatsApp group chat where we all kept contributing information and ideas too. We had a few original plans like we were going to base our project on how Siri and Alexa are always listening to us, but then we got stuck on where to start with that so we decided to just start of the presentation with information about Digital Privacy, what apps do with our information, how they get it, the consequences etc, which was very interesting and k

Mission 2- Culture Resources Blog post 2/3- Digital Privacy 25-9/10+11/19 For our resources we used many different websites and search engines which we referenced in our powerpoint. For our experiment we mainly used Youtube, Safari and Notes. Typing out the research I carried out helped in the sense of I kept referring to it and using it as guidelines to what I should put in the PowerPoint, I definitely will be using this method in the next mission, as it really helped with time keeping and staying in track, the information I typed out in the notes was backed up by iCloud so I had that information on my phone, MacBook and iPad so I could look over it whenever and wherever I wanted. So after brainstorming all the different things we can do our project about, we chose to do our experiment on how our search engines for ad purposes, to prove this we used. For our experiment, we used Safari on my phone, to see if we got an ad for the cameras, and the app we us

Mission 3 - Methodology   Process Blog post 1/3 - Digital Journalism  14-24/11/19 In this mission, we got into groups of three, again… and were asked to study and investigate the historical relationship between journalism and media technologies. Megan, Ania and I decided to do our video on how the internet has made new modalities of communication possible. We had many ideas on our minds but we figured it would be best to do our video on how modern news works, where I posed as the celebrity and Ania and Megan as the paparazzi. Like every other mission, we made a WhatsApp group chat where we all contributed to it with our ideas, up comming meet ups, locations etc. We communicated a lot on this group chat, which was very useful. At first though, we were going to do this mission on the farm market, but realised that might be a little boring and we didn’t want anyone to fall asleep, so we decided to do it on the latest celeb news, but our own version of it so we came u
