Week 3 of Uni.

Week 3 and the work is starting to poor in.
In Radio Production this week, we learned how to use a "flash mic" which is incredibly useful when recording "vox pops" and interviews. We also continued our research on Social Networking and finally i had my first Radio Booth Experience, it was surprisingly easy, well what we did today was.

In Histories and Industries this week we covered the overall history of the Newspaper. From its early roots in the 1600's to the modern newspaper. We also covered Networking and how to keep and pick up contacts and also "The Six Degree's of Separation" which covers the idea of how "someone is connected to someone else" who may be a possible way to a career or job.

In Photography in the Media we have been looking at classic Black and White photos from the 20's- 40's taken by the likes of "WeeGee" AKA. Arthur Fellig, Dorothea Lange, Arthur Rothstein, Heinrich Hoffmann and Robert Capa. They took such iconic photos such as "Omaha Beach, Migrant Mother and many casual images of Hitler.

Finally in Introduction to Professional Writing we began looking into the ideas of "Sticky Language, Writing with Power,How to market and the psychology behind advertising and the media.

Thats all for this week, Next week more Media Production Updates.
