September 09
we were introduced to out new teacher at the beginning of term, when we were given the brief we only had the option of two briefs instead of a chance to choose any one we wanted. I really liked the idea of creating a teaser trailer but this was one of the briefs that we were not able to use.

October 09
Myself and a classmate looked into the concept of creating the brief that we were drawn to, we emailed our teacher and asked advise of the head of a level media. We were given the go ahead and began to plan our filming and ideas.

November 09
As we began to plan we were constantly told that with this brief that we would fail by our lecturer this disheartened us and we began to doubt our own capability. We were not given much help which we knew would happen as we were told that this brief was not something that our teacher knew of.

December 09
I decide that after constant put downs of our upcoming 'failure' that it would be easier for my self and classmate to change our brief to that of which we will be able to be helped. We decided to work together, which once we had emailed our teacher was confirmed to be okay. Working together would lessen the work load as all of our class were still on the first task when we had begun.

After creating a logo for our newspaper while my classmate was absent, we were told that we have to work alone for a better grade even though we had already begun work on this task. As i had near enough all of the work with the newspaper it was agreed that I would keep the original newspaper and that my classmate would start anew.

Extra sessions were added for students who needed help with there coursework, this proved a problem for me as now all of my work was on an apple mac computer whereas all of my class were working on ordinary computers with an older system meaning that every lesson that i had to find a mac on a different floor in order to do my work, which always ended up with me having to come to the after college session as i was unsure of what to do next and that was the only way i could access help.

I proceeded to attend the extra sessions but found that i spent most of my free time in the library creating my work due to the fact that i had achieved nothing in class. It intrigued me that i had basically started my coursework in January and now was near enough complete when my class have been working on the same task from the start and are still working on there main task.

April 10
I completed my poster and my website within a day or two, i found dream weaver quite easy to manage unlike the use of in design which i found rather complicated. Everything is complete as of the 27/04/10 which feels like a huge weight has been lifted from off of my shoulders. I am happy with the work that i have completed and can now focus on my blog.
