I have just had a very interesting and inspiring week filming Maurine McAllister and Philip Alford as they undertake their first Digital Destinations workshop which is about social marketing and networking. Sixty businesses are involved broken down into six different clusters and paired with final year students to work on digital marketing business plans. This has been fantastic for me as it has given me lots of social network ideas myself. The clusters include some really interesting businesses with a diverse range of ideas. It has helped me to realise that no matter how many social networks you are on you always need a strategy to help you engage with your target market. If you don’t have a strategy and plan you are just creating meaningless posts. The business and marketing side has been of a great benefit to me so though I’ve been filming I’ve managed to actually get a lot from the event. It also reinforced the power of viral videos which I love watching and will have to try and think of a few of my own! After the three days insightful filming I went on to edit together the sessions for research purposes.

I was very excited to receive my latest GoPro ‘toys’. Which included the dive housing, floaty back door, antifog inserts, a spare battery and the seatpost/handlebar mount for my bike! I’m really excited to use the dive housing for diving and wakeboarding and the handlebar mount for a variety of different angles when mountain biking. I took the GoPro along wakeboarding, till I realised how windy it was and that I would potentially never see it again if I used it! So I’m very much looking forward to the next spot of sunshine so I can get on my bike and test out my mount. Keep an eye out for the videos!
Today I graduated from Bournemouth University with my (BA Hons) Television Production degree. The day was very exciting and luckily I did not fall on the stage. I felt very proud to receive my degree and it was a great feeling to know I am finally entering the working world as a graduate. It was fantastic seeing everyone again; the tutors and my fellow course mates. It was very interesting to see what everyone was up to after leaving university.
Today was my first PADI Open Water dive course with Dive South. The session started in the morning with theory and quizzes and the afternoon was the pool session. My pool session was with Lisa and went really well. I was very excited for my first session and was so happy when I achieved the first dives. Having read the theory it is incredible how much is involved in diving from the equipment to the safety. I can’t wait to finish the course and see the underwater world in open water. I’m another step closer to underwater filming!
