JN 2053 Data Skills Test
The latest film in the Harry Potter franchise Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 has smashed UK box office records with an approximate intake of £18.3 million in the opening weekend.
Its predecessor, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince earned over $900 million worldwide in 2009, with the combined global earnings of the previous six films totalling £362.39 billion.
Each of the six films feature in the UK Film Council's top 20 films of all time.
The chart below shows the top ten grossing films in the UK box office. Topping the list is James Cameron’s Avatar, which earned £83.2 million.

JN 2053 Images Test
In order to complete my "Digital Newsroom" module, I was required to exercise my image skills by manipulating images in Adobe Photoshop. I took a photograph of the University of Central Lancashire, and then cropped it to the required specifications.
When deciding on a location to photograph, I looked for a shot which captured the University of Central Lancashire in a way which would not require a caption. To do this I felt the most appropriate photograph should feature a UCLan sign.
