A little about myself:
My
name is Alfie Mills and I am studying Print Based Media and Journalism
as a Level 3 Extended Diploma. I study this course at SouthEssex College
on a 3 day per week basis ranging from Tuesdays to Thursdays. In this
course I hope to develop and learn new skills in order to create and
publish things such as books, magazines, and articles. I also wish to
learn different techniques in which i can interview someone, take notes
about what people say and learn the correct usage for a dictaphone and
other equipment used in todays modern media.
What the course is and contains:
Print
Based Media and Journalism is designed to take you into the hands of
what a real professional publisher and reporter/article writer has to
deal with in their day to day life. This includes learning software
which is used on computers (Adobe software mostly) and also writing
techniques to create our own articles and news paper stories like we
would in the real world.
This
is not the only thing the course covers in 2 years though, here is a
list of everything taught and produced in the course itself:
- newspaper and magazine production
- article writing
- interview and presentation techniques
- website design
- photography
- digital image manipulation
- traditional print methods
- visual analysis
Why I chose this course:
My
initial choice for this course was because of the idea of being able to
get creative with the idea of making my own products which could be
published. I enjoy using my computer and programs such as Photoshop and
Illustrator on a daily basis and also would like to potential work as
someone who creates and publishes their own magazines or works in a
company producing work to be published and seen by hundreds. This idea
excites me and as a writer, artist and in general, creative person, this
course ticked all the boxes for me.
