I'm still alive ... II resentful for last week:
21st-27. September war all along anyway, I now no longer: o)
Monday I had video production, was very interesting, we were divided into three groups and each has a given project that we are in a 5 - minute film clip must implement. I have problems with groups, anyway, I'm here too foreign to the people all know already a year and they were not very involved in the matter ... was not so simple. A Frenchman is also in the bunch, but he has much more understanding problems than I do.
our project: it is about a former professional photographer, who for years as a volunteer in Nairobi was to build schools there. this is virtually the short version. So we have to consider: how do we draw the 5 minutes to where we are filming what's going to superficially etc. The brainstorming was very slow. I was due to lack of dreh-/schnitterfahrung the role assigned to the interviewer. then we got a brief introduction to the camera, and there was not really my business group in the. let's see how it goes ...
later I had still photography. is type a little slanted (one probably because he is British;)), but he is very nice (like all here) and really has a clue. We have many, many looked at photos and a film about Edging a photographer whose pictures I did not like, but hey, who cares: D we will make in the module, two projects: a portrait of someone from the group and a space or place with which we connect anything, be it metaphorically or whatever. Photos are taken with an analog camera, all settings made by hand;) the negative will be scanned and then edited on a PC, the monitor calibration etc., of particular importance: how do I get my photo to the printer, as I have to see the monitor. 've
Tuesday I first started at 2: D has been added in the new timetable multimedia. here one has really noticed that here the students all to the first 17, 18, are as much as the clowning in the classroom .. I feel myself in the 10th class back-_-
the same for the next week's task was the first, which is also graded: a PowerPoint presentation on the good, the bad and the ugly "website, three pages on an issue ... for the students it served as a brief repetition of PowerPoint, which they have worked in the first year very much. the rest of the semester we spend with html, ie webdesign and flash.
then there's still got an hour writing media, wier a kind of questionnaire, the events / people shaped us , etc. and then should tell us something about ourselves, each much as he wanted, so there were no personal things hauled to the surface: D
Wednesday was finally the great society tag. at all the week was marked by the fresher's week, which is a sort of introduction for the week was Erstis. the hypnotist on pizza eating contest and paintball to partiys in the evening and blind dates, everything was represented. came before me very American, even more so when talking about three guys left, only in underpants to run around the University Buildings, the first was 200 euro O___o it can be overdone ...
all week (and Wednesday in particular) could subscribe to the sports clubs ... but there are also clubs for photography, PC games (guitar hero was in great demand on the input), theater, etc. So for everybody. I've of course added to the equestrian society, all riders will probably take a couple of weekends to Wicklow (south of Dublin) and go into the terrain. let's see what that is. There to my surprise there is also a belly dance society, unfortunately, kasia (a German who studied here and organize the club) all day not on standing, so I am just added to the list. Finally, I am not a member of the international culture society, so those who always travel by organized ireland, especially for erasumsstudenten - but the Germans had some fellow students are first re-established; teaching) then went
's in the, media writing was once fashionable again ... I think we watched film trailer and images and expectations of the audience spoke. tv production thereafter was back at the series, again with practical camera work. this time I had the honor of having sound and camera and was then interviewed as a guest;)
Thursday was very spectacular, I was added first to 12 in the uni course in English (even in the wrong group), lecturer in the Re (irony) is very committed and enthusiastic a dictated text, which we then were allowed to write. was still a vocabulary practice, and then was thankfully circuit. actually I would have had more audio production, but the lesson was canceled because the lecturer was busy with the radio show, itt fm was therefore in the week on the air. so I'm still gone to the English class in the afternoon, so I went not quite as useless to the university. it was - in a word - laaaaaaaaangweilig .... I know why I decided had not to go back to teaching English. so that was my last try;)
skip the Friday we had time, since nothing: D
Saturday I spent only with the preparations for my presentation for multimedia and am the evening went to dublin. together with Doreen (from London) I've considered myself a dog run. It was only 7:30 and it was followed by going on a total of 11 races. Unfortunately it was too dark to take pictures right, too bad. (but it was interesting, you would not believe how quickly such a dog can be a is even in a corner slipped and bumped against the wall, however, sprang up again, and whetted the other was behind him O__o apparently nothing happened. The Irishmen have, of course bet hard, but I understood the system somehow not: D
Sunday I keep tinkering on my presentation.
