Intro to Digital Media- Mission 3: Digital journalism - 3

After having presented our project to the class I feel I have had a lot of time to reflect on how each stage of the project went. The stages: planning, process and post presentation. While doing this mission Digital Photography, I learned that when you use other sources that you do not own you have to mention and reference them in the description box. This became evident after the video was uploaded to the public. After the first four hours of the public having access to watch the video, it got taken down for copyright claims. Another thing I learned was you cannot download videos from YouTube if their channel is associated with a company. For example, the channel FA Premier League is a channel who’s videos you can’t download. You can’t download’s videos from this channel because the premier league owns all the rights. I learned when I tried to download them on “Y2Mate” and got no access to them. 

What I discovered about my mission while doing it was that most people who are you still use newspaper as well as digital apps and websites to find out about football. This proves that Digital Journalism has not taken over the older sources of news but instead enhanced how many ways we can find info and how much we can find it. I also discovered that there is a lot of respect involved in English football. I found this out when I was researching the videos, because at the end of every match, the players and the managers shake hands with everyone. Even Jurgen Klopp, who is the manager of Liverpool will always go over to the opposing team if he managed them and gives them a hug. This shows even though, during the 90 minutes in the they are enemies, there will always be a form of respect on it. 

Although it was overall a success, there were some minor failures that had occurred along the way over the past few weeks. Some of these were the fact that our video got removed from YouTube.

 We had only a few hours to make the second project because our first one failed. This put us into quite a panic because we were there thinking “great, the project is now finished. I’m going to go home and finish the rest of my assignments”. But then we receive an email that our video had gotten a copyright claim from the official FA Premiere League company. This was terrible because we ended up having to stay in college for another 9 - 10 hours researching new information, making a new project, editing a new project on Premiere Pro, exporting that video and then uploading this video before the deadline. Although we had gotten all that finished around 10 o’ clock that night, we still had a technical error and could not upload it. So even though we had uploaded our new project 6 hours late we had still received an above average passing grade. 

I was very proud of this because we could have just said we don’t need the third mission because we all had a passing grade from the last two missions. But instead of doing that we made two projects and passed the module.
