Progression

As I find myself coming to the end of my foundation course I do feel slightly relieved. Even though I have enjoyed the majority of the course and I have learnt new skills and other information relating to the course I will be glad to see the back of it so I can move onto my proper photography course. I have enjoyed certain aspects of this course such as the film making and the script writing. I feel my creativeness and imagination have really helped me out in these subjects. I feel as though I've been trying to rush through the course to get to the end so that I can get onto photography which is the only reason I have come to university. It is my passion and it is what I want to do as a career so I'm really looking forward and I am eager to start my new course in September. I have enjoyed this foundation year but it has caused me enough headaches and stress and I'm ready to finish it. The modules we have had to do are tough but some of them have been really enjoyable and I would suggest anyone who is thinking about a career in media to jump on it.

Reflection

Reaching the half way point in my Media Foundation has taught me that I can do anything if I put my mind to it. I've progressed through my lessons and picked up new information about all sorts on the way. My photography skills have improved and so ha my knowledge overall. I've also found out that I am quite creative and really enjoy my scriptwriting class. Everything that I'm doing is good because it all has a positive outlook on what I'm doing and what I hope to achieve in my life.

Experienced

Experienced is an idea I have for a music site. Basically its an interactive site all dedicated to the late Jimi Hendrix. It would be laid out in a similar style to Dont click it meaning that it would be all scrolling pages. Each link would take your through to different pages such as a photo library, Videos of performances, a bio, A song library with the option to make your own playlists which can play in the back ground as you venture around the site. There would also be pages for links onto similar artists websites
.
here is a photo of a sitemap, I imagine that the Experienced site would look very similar.

Internet of things

I have decided to make my product a self tracking wallet. There is technology inside the wallet that allows you to download and app on your phone. So if you should lose your wallet you can pin point its location using GPS it will even send a message to your wallet causing its to beep or vibrate until you find it. You can even download the app on other peoples phones and have their own log in details so in case one of your friends or partners phone dies you can still find the wallet.

BBC iPlayer

BBC iPlayer is the online streaming service for catch up TV and radio.
If we were to redesign the site so that there was no need for clicking it would resemble something like http://www.dontclick.it/ although the new design does work and it does look cool I do prefer to click as I feel it gives the user much more control over what you are doing. A few times I slipped and missed the link I wanted to be on. I think when you first enter the site you should be given the choice to click or not.
