My progress through the unit

Online:
What did I learn?
I'd never properly been shown how to use photoshop before so I found that really useful, I do have my own website but I don't think that I utilise it as effectively as I could.
How could I have done better?
I felt I could have done better by updating my blog more frequently than I did.

Print:
What did I learn?
In print I learnt all about page layouts and what you have to do to images to transfer them from a computer onto printed pages via Indesign, a programme which I had never used before.
What could I have done better?
I would have asked for the permission to use the images in Birdworld's archive before wasting a lot of time trying to take photographs which we couldn't get. They were fine for us to use their images, it would have saved us a lot of time.

Radio:
What did I learn?
I learnt a little bit about how the desk works and how the computers are linked to the desk and how you would use them if you were recording a programme. I learnt about Audition: using multi-track, changing levels, fading in and out, and deleting unwanted sections.
What could I have done better?
I was not entirely pleased with the editing of my Christmas Vox Pops. I felt it was rushed and because of that I feel that the editing isn't at the standard I would have liked it to have been.

TV:
What did I learn?
I learnt how to use Premiere Pro I also learnt how use a camera and how to frame a shot. I also learnt about all of the TV terms, eg: P2C, FTF, A-Roll, etc
What could I have done better?
I'm not happy with both my P2Cs in the Royal Wedding TV package, the first isn't delivered in enough of a 'news style' and on the second I don't like the framing of the shot with the wall behind me. I think I could have re-done both of those shots.

Fabian Tactics interview
