Although transferring directly into second year multimedia at NTU was bewildering at first,
I have quickly settled in and the lectures outlining the structure of the whole year were very helpful. I find it much easier to focus on what needs to be done when I have the complete picture.
I have opted to study the Moving Image pathway which was the one I had in mind when I applied, since it follows on from the Broadcast Media course I was enrolled in at NCN for the previous year.
The courseworks sound interesting and varied, and I am particualrly pleased that sound design will be prevalent in some areas of our work, since I also take evening classes in electronic music production at the Stonesoup Project in Nottingham, and these areas of education may well link together nicely on projects in the future.
The areas of study I am looking forward to most are developing my writing and videography skills, and getting placements on real sets to further my learning. This aspect of the course has been mentioned from day one of the course, which is particularly reassuring as NTU's reputation for helping students find real placements is in part what attracted me to the course.
For now I am looking forward to getting stuck into a real project with the script and groups we will be assigned this Thursday (the 22/10).
