BSc Media ProductionDe Montfort
- Leicester, United Kingdom
My years spent at De Montfort University gave myself the chance to gain a various amount of skills, with this course I was able to be creative with ideas. Having a passion for audio and music lead to choosing radio production and audio production in my second year. I gained confidence as you needed to go out into the public for vox pops, radio also taught me how to manage quick turn around time in editing.The enjoyment I had from being able to present and broadcast songs myself made me continue taking radio production in third year at an advanced level. With wanting to express my passion for music the flexibility of my dissertation let me prove this, by comparing the sound quality and compression of lossy and lossless formats in music streaming services next to vinyl, researching into consumer expectations and preferences, I thoroughly enjoyed this as I was allowed the freedom to work on most of my subjects doing what I loved and respected.
