Well there we have it, the module is almost at an end. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed looking at new material this year, and it has certainly opened my eyes as to how interesting the process of research can be. I’ve noticed a big trend as to what’s been my key interests this term, and it seems to be all linked to power. A lot of my research has been based around propaganda and the ideas of manipulation and persuasion, and perhaps this is something I can take on to the final project. Whilst radio has been my forte, I am also happy that I have challenged myself with other medium, and have learnt lots of new skills particularly in the editing process.
I know for sure I want to concentrate on a radio project for my final artefact, as radio is the career path I am striving for. Looking at the propaganda pieces I made for power and spectacle, I can certainly see they are the strongest artefacts I have made, although making the memory video has been a challenge and a breath of fresh air.
Over the Christmas break I intend to look deeper into my research and conduct some more, hopefully to come up with a few ideas related to power in radio, or maybe even bring in a few other mediums to further challenge myself..
Anyway, that’s it from me for a week or two, time to enjoy the break…Merry Christmas!
