Week 16

Digital Communications

This week the topic and program we were using was Microsoft word and we were shown how to use it in the correct way. I was sceptical but after being shown I felt in the past I had not used Microsoft Word to its fullest potential as I discovered uses such as the Microsoft Reference Tab which I have used ever since.

    

Data Technology

Now I was coming to the end of my work booklets I was told to install Prestashop which is a program I would learn more about as I worked on my coursework. Prestashop was easy to install and the instructions made it simple to get started up.

  

Media Making

This weeks Media Making consisted of more photography , this time we looked at photographing objects in more detail. We looked at how important the lighting is when taking photographs. The seminar continued what we discussed in the lecture and using photoshop to enhance photographs of objects. i also played around with the light settings on the camera which i used when taking my photographs for my Coursework.   

The Network Society
This weeks lecture looked at copyright and the effect is has on the world today. we also discussed intellectual property rights (IPR) which is where peoples ideas in most cases lead to profit. The example of copyright issues were interesting as we looked at 'The Gray Album' by 'DJ Dangermouse' which was a remix album full of samples of Jay-Z and The Beatles that he did not have permission to use which created issues with EMI.

  

Technology, Comms and Media

Media Regulations was the topic this week as we looked at legal terms such as Defamation and Libel and case studies relating to these terms. Press complaints relating to Max Mosely was one of the case studies , we looked at how journalism can cause press complaints such as account of invading privacy.

  

Management, Information Systems and Organisations

As usual in recent times in our MISO sessions we only ever had three of our group members at the most which made MISO Sessions increasingly difficuly. We eventually got the task on business processing done but it wasnt without some struggle or an ever increasingly recently talking too but one of the MISO lecturers.
