This post contains my Video skills test.This excerise is designed to test my ability to shoot a short video and sucessfully edit where appropriate.
To record the interview I used a FlipCamera and interviewed my father, who maintains and frequently contribututes to S24SU ( a football website & forum maintained by the fans for the fans)
I interviewed him outside Bramall Lane and asked him a few questions about the current season.
The video is hosted courtesy of YouTube and was edited using Windows Movie Maker.

Data Skills Test
The World Health Organisation says the spread of swine flu has become a global pandemic. Cases have now been confirmed in over 200 countries and territories around the world
When looking at the bar graph it is evident that the two largest countries have the highest infection rate. Nevertheless, when analyzing Japan’s figures, which is a highly populated country, the data surprisingly depicts a low infection rate.
The majority of the EU countries (Italy, France and Spain) show a low count of confirmed cases, this would usually be expected due a lower population rate, however the UK and Germany surprisingly rank 3rd and 4th highest in confirmed cases
Generally rules govern the denser the population, the higher probability and percentage of increased cases, however the graph illustrates this isn’t always the case that highly populated countries would be affected by swine flu.
