A Low-down On What's Happening with my Projects

I just wanted to write a short paragraph on what's happening with my projects right now, for my Radio Documentary on the Marshall Tractors I am still currently trying to get people to interview, I have already sent an email to a new contact at the Gainsborough Museum, I sent an email yesterday, I am still waiting. As for the volunteers at the Lincolnshire Life Museum I have just contacted him (again I just got a email today about who I can talk to, the man is named Derek and he says he is more than happy to have a chat with me, I am just waiting to see what time and day fits him best, i am hoping to meet him next Monday during the 4 hour break. Now as for the Digital Media project, I still want to work around history and culture so I kinda want to work around Newark Castle and take photographs of the Castle grounds and record some audio along with. How I am seeing this is that I want a series of photos to show and audio with the photos, so a two in one. Newark Castle isn't much of a Castle any more but it does look interesting. I plan on doing this Wednesday afternoon of this week.

Day 6 & 7 Of Cress

Apologies for not updating yesterday, but here is yesterday's update and today's update on the cress, Yesterday the cress was a darker shade of green and almost looks fully grown! Again sorry about there being no speech in the first vlog video.

Day 7- There wasn't much change and i think the cress has just finished growing and is now ready to be picked, but the colour in the cress is a lot more glossy and healthy, or should i say more of a pure green in the leaves. The vlog video has a bit of speech, sadly it's a bit faded, still there wasn't much to say about it apart from that the cress is ready to be picked.

and that's that, now that i have finished the life of cress i need to figure out what i want to do with the footage, yes i did say i would like to make a time lap video, but i am wondering how i am going to do it, i don't have the most greatest editing software, but if it looks good, it'll be great!

Day 5 Of Cress

I feel that we're almost coming to an end of the growth of the cress, today there was a huge amount of greenery and only in time the cress will be ready to eat, again i am guessing till Tuesday it will be ready, so here are today's photos and video, today's video has me speaking again. Also sorry that the pictures seem a bit dark, we where getting a spot or rain down here.

Day 3 Of Cress

Went to check on the cress again today  but at a later time (I slept in) There was some extreme progress with the cress this afternoon, small green shoots have appeared! Again with the collected videos and photos I plan on making a final video of the cress growing all at once, like a time lapped video but a little different. So here is the updates in photos and a short video, Sorry if my voice in the video a bit quiet I was half asleep.

Day 2 Of Cress

Today I checked on the growth of my cress and changed has started, the cress has just started to sprout out and the seeds look a little bit bigger and more light brown.


I took this image from my digital camera so we could get a better look at what's happening, also i have recorded another video describing what's happening.





Hopefully by tomorrow we should see some green shoots or something looking like green shoots.
