Day Trip to Bournemouth

Today we have been on a trip to Bournemouth university and we were there to receive some feedback from the media students there, to collect some footage for the documentary and also to edit with them and get some advice.
We started off by getting some lunch with our £5 vouchers and then headed off to the media block to get directed to what we were going to be doing the rest of the day. Once we got into the media block, we all gathered in a room and they informed us about the day and welcomed us and we then were sent off into our groups, each with one media student.
We went off into an editing room with our student and he played our rough cut of our documentary of Vimeo. He then gave us feedback on our video and advised us on ways in which we can make it a lot better. Once he has given us all of his feedback, he then offered to show us some tips and tricks on Final Cut and also to show us Motion software, which is similar to After Effects. This was very useful to us as we learnt a lot of things on Final Cut which are quite simple but make a bit difference and we also learnt that Motion is a similar way to get good effect without using the complex After Effects.

This was really good experience, it helped us a lot with our project and also for future projects that we may do. It has also given us a taster of university and prepared us a bit and given us a step up possibly above the others students going to university to do media.
