Mission 3 - Methodology Process

Process:

For my first mission for my ‘Digital Media’ we were asked to view the missions that were on introdm.cdmonline.ie and read all of the pieces and chose one that we found interesting to us. After carefully reading through all of the pieces, I decided to go with ‘Digital Journalism’.
I joined a group with Karolina and Keith as we all hadn’t worked with each other before and we felt that we all had a keen interest in the topic of digital journalism. We decided to meet up three different times and spent a lot of hours preparing for our final mission.
The first time we met up it was to brainstorm our ideas for this mission which lead us to a lot of time just scribbling down notes of ideas and random thoughts. The second time we met up was to create a story map, timeline and story board. And the third and final time was to film our scenes for the video.

Our Goals for this mission:
The goals for our mission was to understand and learn and the difference in journalism in time and how much things have changes in relation to digital media, the internet and technology. We wanted to use the tools that were provided to us to produce our own version of what we believe digital media to be as millennials.

The end product we hoped to produce:
We hoped to produce a journalism story of our own version of a modern day ‘Jack The Ripper’ based in TUD Blanchardstown.

The resources that helped or could help you along the way:
We decided to use the tool that was provided to use which was the website ‘StoryMap’, this is a website that creates a map that allows you to pinpoint places on it to show how/where a story took place.  We used this website as we wanted to recreate our own modern day murder mystery so we pinpoint places in our college where a murder could take place.
We came up with an Idea that Karolina and myself would act in a video pretending to be the victims friends from college while Keith recorded it. We made fake statements to give a more real ‘News’ effect. We wanted to try and recreate a real feeling news story.
We also made a timeline from resources we found from Wikipedia and YouTube to find out all information about ‘Jack The Rippers’ murders in ‘WhiteChapel’ in London, England. We went into vivid detail when researching as we wanted to know about the murders in serious detail from the names of the woman, the location of where the murder took place , the time of death, and the injury that caused them to die. We found out most woman who were killed had their throats slit which we all found very eerie.
After doing our research we decided to meet up again on campus to film the content for the video. We filmed over in block A as we felt it would have the best lighting and the sound control would be good.  After this the editing started for Keith as he knew how to edit .
We were so excited to see our final product.
