hey mates!
Last week Firday we had such an interesting lecture on how to use openshot, which is a programme used to create slide shows. Wow! It was so awesome! I felt like a Hollywood producer lol! Its also a bit tricky and so my first attempt was a bit disfuctional lol...hahaha ..., but hey!... atleast i tried. Thembisa (our lecturer) showed us a lot of fun ways of using openshot and how we can experiment with new designs, styles, titles and elements. Its not soooooooooo hard making a movie now lol!.
Our topic was freedom of expression... which by now you may have figured is the theme of our course in internet studies. We had to collect alot of pictures on freedom and make a slide show, with our own music choice. As you guys know... I picked the song "waving flag" by Knaan. I feel that, that song is the essence of freedom. especially in South Africa.
Our double lecture on Wednesday was cancelled due to a strike on campus. I was so proud that people stood up for their rights, but was sad that some turned to violence. Remember guys, let history not repeat itself. We dont need another uprsing. We should spread love and not shed blood!!!. It is our constitutional right to strike but not harm.
We should all practice Ghandiji's "SATHYAGARA".
The Freedom of Expression
We control the media, it is a weapon used to deffend us, a shield used to protect us. We have the right to be as free as bird in expressing what we feel to the world, lets use that right and not abuse it. Celebrate the freedom of expression
