Beginnings.

(originally posted on PebblePad Jan. 28th)

Today I attended my first Understanding New Media lecture. I was introduced to the module and its contents and to some of the tutors who would be guiding the module. Each tutor told us a little about themselves and their specialised subject.
I learned that we would be looking at media spanning music, film, animation and gaming. I think I'm going to like these lectures!

To get us thinking about media, we had a 'Desert Island Discs'-type task where we chose 8 tracks we'd want with us on an island. Here are my choices!

1. Iron Maiden - Stranger In A Strange Land
2. Iron Maiden - Brave New World
3. Iron Maiden - Rainmaker
(pretty much any Iron Maiden!)
4. Journey - Seperate Ways
5. Amon Amarth - Live For The Kill
6. HammerFall - Glory to the Brave
7. Sonata Arctica - White Pearl, Black Oceans
8. The Eagles - Doolin' Dalton.

Looking forward to next week's 'popular music' based lecture!
