Technology in Multimedia Development

Image
This module so far has been quite unusual to me because we have all created a blog (this one!) and have written a few posts like an introduction and a post about our favorite game. I have never had a blog before so this is really strange to have one for a college module, but definitely not in a bad way. We are going to use Unity3D in this module and I'm very excited for it. I've heard of it but I've never used it, but I am familiar with its uses and the things you can make with it. I think we are going to create a simple game and I think it will be my favorite part or one of my favorite parts of this course because I've always wanted to be involved in the making of a video game. I would definitely want to learn how to make use of this program properly and to be able to demonstrate some kind of competency with it. We are also going to use some image editing programs which I think are very simple to use as I have used them many times before so I am not too worries abou

Introduction

This is a little introduction post for this blog as I continue my course into the semester. I think CDM has been interesting so far. It's quite different from last year. Last year, the best class I took by far was Photography, it was so fun and I loved taking photos in such an artistic manner. I loved going into the studio and using the flash and playing with the lighting and setup. It was a really interesting module and I'm a bit sad we don't have it this semester. I'd definitely love to do some more photography again because it let me express myself in so many unique ways using various techniques taught to me in the class. I'm not sure I'd like a career in photography after I leave college but I will say its very fun so far. This is a very early photo of my cat Bella I took when starting out with my DSLR camera. I'm glad I take so many pictures of her because I like to look back on them! My goals for this module is to be competent enough in Unit

Workshop 01

My first week in Multimedia Development has been very interesting so far, I had a kind of "workshop" during a lecture which was very interactive between the class in my opinion. Everybody seemed very talkative and excited, I think because it was one of our first few days back. First it was the usual talking about summer holidays, then we wrote some reflections from first year, writing a few points about what methods in general worked for us last year, such as things that helped us study, get good grades, and helped us connect with other people. We also wrote down what we would like to improve on this year, and I wrote that I'd like to not miss any lectures as much as possible. Then we shared our writings with the people next to us. It was interesting to compare these things as everybody has something different that works for them. Then we were tasked with describing how a traffic lights work to somebody who had never seen them before. We were given this image and we t

Favourite Game

My favourite game of all time is The Last of Us. It's a survival action horror that has a great storyline and intensive, rewarding gameplay. I recommend this game to everyone, especially if you love games that not only have great action but emotion to the story. Picture: a poster from The Last of Us game ( source )
