Why Kris is amazing

Hi I'm Kris and to the right (beneath useful links, labels and blog archive) there is a picture of me :D >

I look that smart every day really, even at school where I am currently studying media.

I love film and taking pictures, and if you scroll down the page you will see some random examples of this I have managed to dig up..

Anyway, on here I will be posting all my AS media foundation portfolio work and basically it will be pretty amazing...

An Update On Things

It is Friday 9th January and I am at home after a long week back at school. Our production deadline is the coming Wednesday luncthime (14th January). However, our group can render this irrelevant as we have officially finished our final edited sequence, hooray!

Basically, this week has been a mad rush of editing, gaining feedback, making changes based on this feedback, getting more feedback, making more changes etc etc. Today we had one test screen in front of some media students giving us even more critical feedback to work on during the second half of the school day before having one last test screen in front of a slightly different audience of media students after school. This gave us one or two more minor changes to make, which we applied to the sequence. We eventually got confirmation of completion from Miss Blackborow at about 17:05 (a long time after school!) giving us the finished sequence. This is soon to be put on DVD and on Youtube for us all to see and enjoy.

All this editing probably explains why I have not done a blog post since the one telling everyone we were back at school after christmas, and while this has only been a week, i still feel it necessary to explain myself: we have been very busy on the editing software leaving us with hardly any time on our hands to blog (and even this little time was devoted to the group blog and not the individual).

So yeah, that leaves me to tell you that details on all the editing and how we have fixed our sequence up this past week (especially today) can be found on our group blog.

Now we have no more editing to do, we can make a start on the final chapter of this project, and that is the evaluation. I will be back sometime next week to update on how this is going as I will be drafting it first before it makes its grand appearance on the blog. I have rambled on long enough now, bye!
