Third Mission: Methodology

For this mission i got a late start due to some unforeseen circumstances. I chose to do the topic Digital Journalism and i tended to focus on the area of news and how they report crashes and traffic. I was in a group with two others and we decided it would be a good idea to build a story map and focus it on a certain area that is local to the college so we chose to do it on the M50 as it is very close to the college and the crash rates are really high there. For this mission we had to create a video so we thought it would be a fun idea to create a mock up video where we acted as news presenters and presented on a local crash that had happened on the M50. For the recording of the actual of the actual video we had to find a room that was empty and that was our first challenge, after a lot of searching we found an empty room and we started to practice and get some recordings in. We took a good few recordings but everything wasn’t going smoothly in regards to our lines and such, we we

Second mission: Culture .  For this mission i chose to do YouTubing as it is one of my interests and i spend a lot of my free time watching YouTube videos. I thought this was a great opportunity to create my own channel that would be focused around my main hobby which is art, specifically drawing, painting and digital illustration/Graphic Design. For my first upload i chose to do a digital painting and i chose to do a time lapse video that captured everything i done but compressed it down into a short video. The main reason i chose to make a time lapse is because i couldn’t record on my phone with the lack of storage on it and I don’t have a camera, but i am currently saving up for a camera so that will improve the quality of my channel and my videos. Some of the things i will be focusing on is the gaming community and how it has become so popular over the years, how it gained popularity and why. I will be also covering some of the top you tubers. I would also like to show the

Introducing myself, My name is Darragh Cole and i am from Kells in Meath. I am 21 years old and have a great interest in Creative Digital Media , I done my leaving cert in 2016 and i did absolutely crap because I didn’t try hard enough and I didn’t know what i wanted at the time. In secondary school, I wasn’t into art at all and i actually never done art as a subject but i always used to draw and keep sketchbooks but it wasn’t until i took 2 years out and i found out what i wanted to, when I had finally made my mind up i started to look for courses that would suit me and i found one course that had quite low requirements and i ended up getting a place on the course!That course was in Dunboyne College and it was in 2018, I ended up doing really well in that course and that’s how i am here today! The course was quite similar and i was able to learn a lot within that one year and i really found that i had an interest in this type of course so thats what made me want to do this one, i am l
