On my weeks work experience I created a video about people attitudes towards music, I interviewed members of the public who visited The Grange in Beswick and edited these interviews to add to my video, I added a brief introduction and conclusion along with short pieces of narration and also added clips of me playing the songs on guitar.

Work Experience

Dominic — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 09:33:51 +0100

Dominic Viatic, I am on a weeks work experience from my school and am creating a video about people's copncepts about rock music and if it is a possitive one. I also want to understand where some people's negative perceptions of this genre of music come from. In this blog I will be writing what I have done each day from Monday to Friday and explain what I have learnt from these experiences
