Digital Story (The Script and the CMap)

By
Recently, my coordinator assigned tasks to us on Asana (a platform that I plan to reveiw on some other day) to tell a digital story. Well, the brief being that we must tell a story that would leave a lesson to whom so ever comes across it (but the brief was not in those words). The task has different phases and parts to it, so that makes the task easier to deal with and handle.

I started off with producing a script for the digital story. The script is just a wording of what the visual story and the narration of the story will be composed of. I loved writing the script, pouring the lessons I have learned thus far into such a script was a good experience.

The CMap was kind of tricky hey, having to draw a concept map that captures the whole concept of the digital story was very tricky. It was my first time having to produce a copy of CMap document that would be used for such purposes. I did not struggle at all with the Concept Map as much as I expected to struggle.

Currently I am collecting pieces of photography that capture the digital story and the script and will be used as visuals when constructing my digital story. I have collected a range of beautiful and profound pictures for now, I am hoping they'll be enough to tell my story.

Streaming Of the 2014 Graduation

By
Well, the University of the Western Cape in conjunction with the Cape Peninsula University fo Technology streamed the 2014 Summer graduation ceremony at the University of the Western Cape on  CPUT TV (UWC Graduation)  website. I had the chance to watch the live ceremony on the 19th of March 2014 of a few colleagues of mine graduate, it was extremely exciting and inspiring. But I struggled to understand why UWC could not at all stream the graduation onto their  UWCOnline YouTube Channel . I was debating the fact that the university has a full Digital Media Studios unit, with most if not all of the equipment necessary for the event itself. The personnel here at this unit are qualified and equipped enough to handle such an event, but what was the cause of UWC not using an internal resource? Events being streamed live can be one risky position and proposition to be in if the whole team has not planned it well. Viewers do expect an event that is well coordinated with no hiccups, they

First Shoot

By
Today was my first shoot for the Digital Media Studios at Information and Communication Services (ICS). The event was part of the ICS workshop in conjunction with other departments in the university that would include various executives of the university. The first problem we encountered was with regard to the lighting in the venue itself. The sound was also quite a problem in itself but somehow Tosin and Andre had it fixed in no time at all. Another problem I faced was the fact that I was falling half asleep the whole time, and that can not be blamed on me in particular but rather the exams and the content of the presentation that was being delivered at the seminar itself. Apart from all that, the seminar did kind of help as I was introduced to various topics and content that related to ITS itself, so it was not totally a waste of time. I learnt a lot things though at this firs shoot.
