What Interests me about my media course? The thing that interests me most about media is the editing. Creating clips and videos by taking other videos and editing them and attaching them to another to create something really different really amazes me. I also like the fact that you can take a video that will be exactly the same but so different at the same time, just by adding effects, text and even cropping out tiny parts of the video. After spending all the time and effort you put ion to an edit and to see it run smoothly and look really good seems extremely rewarding. I have also learnt that editing , broadly media , opens so many career paths and allows many types of jobs to pursue such as a video editor , director and many more thrilling jobs.
The way college is in comparison to school is the freedom you have. In college you have more breaks to refresh yourself ready for your next lesson so you can contribute to your best ability rather than having last lessons knowledge I your head. In school you have to stay on school grounds all day , where as with college you can check in and out when you do not have any lessons. In college your are treated more maturely and not as school children , so teachers are more relaxed as they just have to do their job and the rest of the work is down to us, Which I feel is a lot better , as its our responsibility to do our work rather than someone else's.
If I had to change something in the world around us, is the use of weaponry. I feel that nowadays the world isn't necessarily the safest place to be due to some countries having different weapon laws to each other. Now I'm no world leader or politician but I feel all leaders need to come together and agree on the fact the use of certain weapons is not appropriate for certain things. A country that has been devastated from tragedies due to the use of weapons such as firearms is the USA. To pinpoint a, the usa have the most recorded amount of school firearm massacres in the world, leaving children and teens scared to go to school, and parents filled with anxiety and whether their child will return home from school. Now by reducing the amount of weaponry types and/ or licensing them, I feel that would make the world a more positive and safer place to be.
