Active Learning Task

In my own time I watch a lot of films, play a lot of video games, and generally experiment with Photoshop. I don't tend to read a lot of material in books as, suffice to say, I have a relatively short attention span! However, I do tend to read a lot of relevant material on the internet, such as; game/film reviews, and image editing/manipulation techniques and tutorials.

Whether I was doing this course or not, I think it's safe to say, I'd be playing video games. I like to keep up to date with all new releases, not only because I rinse through them rather quickly, but it's interesting to see how different game developers vary in their styles. For example, currently; THQ = brilliant, Sega = failing.

Also, I have a PS3, whereas my housemate has a 360, which is interesting when comparing the difference in quality and performance. More specifically, the use of bluray discs.

When it comes to films, I'm a huge fan of most films made by Disney/Pixar, as well as following any films based on the Marvel and DC universe. As before, even if I wasn't doing this specific course, I would still be watching films; however now, I find myself paying more attention to camera techniques and the use of product placement.

As you can probably tell by looking at some of last year’s projects, and looking at my blog I enjoy experimenting with Photoshop. I used to produce small films through gamecams, though these were more walkthroughs than actual videos.
