Today we are going to try out theatrical make-up with jade (second to last lesson), not sure what it's going to be like yet but quite excited to try it out, hopefully it won't look to scary. We are going to try and make it look like we have a black eye or bruising round that area. It looked quite effective and we might edit in photoshop yet to make it look even more realistic.
This week we are going to try and make it look like we have a broken nose. We will do this by applying wax to that area. This might take a bit longer to do but we have a bit longer to do it today. We will again be work in pairs like we did last time. I think we will enjoy it as I did very much last time.
I think I was team worker and effective participator here as we had to work in pairs to apply make up to each other.
Today we have looked at and talked about our future careers after we have finished this creative media diploma. We looked at the Falmouth University Website and what kind of courses they have. At the moment i am quite unclear about what i want to do but i am really interested in their photography course.
Their are PLTS that this course choose to follow by. These are the Personal Learning Thinking Skills: *Creative thinker - I think this is the main PLTS this course would use. *Independent Enquirer *Reflective Learner *Team Worker *Effective Particapator *Self Manager
Here is a link to the website that I found the information: Falmouth University In five years time I would like to be a Photographer who takes pictures of weddings and people in general.
I think here I have been a reflective learner because I was reflecting on my future.
Today we went to the new build that will be opening next week on Monday 1st March. We were given a tour by Kevin Buzza who is the head of Personal. First of all before we had the tour we had to have a health and safety induction. In this we were told what safety clothes we had to wear and who we had to go to if we needed first aid, also lots of other important and interesting areas of Health and Safety. The tour was quite interesting and every room was different, it felt like each room had it's own special characteristics. When we move in there next week we will be able to film footage and take pictures, also lots of other aspects of media such as radio of or about the new build which we will use for our commision project. Our new media room is on the top floor, I think and we get a great view of the penzance area and beach/sea and St Michael's Mount. There are lots of intersting subjects going on in this new build such as catering, hair and beauty, media realted courses and lots, lots more. We have amazing views everywhere we go and I'm quite excited to start learning in there on Monday.
I think here I was an independent enquirer as we each walked round having our own opinion about things in the new build and we each wrote about the tour differently.
Production and editor crew: Daniella Griffiths and Biyan Li
Production company:Truro and Penwith College
Production start date: 2nd February 2010
Working title: Photo booklet
Duration: 4 pages
We would like to make a booklet containing photos and comments of new build and students. We would have the background in the style of Penwith college. We will include pictures of the new build; students in lessons and enjoying themselves round the college. The comments could be from lecturers, students and public n general if they wanted to.
This would cost (£ 65.46) to make a good quality A5 booklet.
Working title: Web advert
We are going to try and make an advert that catches people’s attention and interest. We will and try and make it like this example. We chose to do it like this because we want people to read the questions then look at the question mark to find the answer. Also the answer is really small so they don’t spot it straight away. We got the idea of doing this kind of style for an advert by this advert. (Peugeot 308) This advert is trying to get people think what is that inside that box. It makes them interested and catches their attention. This is what we are trying to do, they can see the questions, which represent the box, but they are trying to see who it is which represents the spy hole in the box.
Target Audience: We are focusing on bringing in more students from different countries to learn a language or do a course here. We will try and emphasise about our lovely scenery and why they should come here rather than Truro College.They will be mainly aged 16+ as our college don't really have people younger than that wanting to study here. We would like them to get the feel of Penwith college being welcoming and fun NOT scary.
8th - 12th: Pre-production (budget, risk assessment), Booklet 15th - 19th: HALF TERM 22nd - 26th: Start making web advert, booklet (Produce an outcome that will satisfy the client) 1st - 5th: Continue advert, booklet (Produce an outcome that will satisfy the client) 8th - 12th: Continue advert, booklet (Produce an outcome that will satisfy the client) 15th - 19th: Finish advert, booklet (Produce an outcome that will satisfy the client),Gaining audience feedback. 22nd - 26th: Present completed products to client. 29th - 1st: finish paperwork and present everything in folders.
This has changed slightly as we changed our idea of a web advert to bookmarks, but the general time management is still the same. Also we now have extra time to work on finishing our product as we are leaving LO5 till after easter. LO5 is presenting products to clients and finishing off the paperwork.
I think here I was a self Manageras I had to manage my time well.
We have decided to make a photographic booklet. We will try to apply a colour scheme and background that will catch their eye but represents the college and the area. The booklet will be a4 folded size (A5) and we would like to use the blue green colours which represents the college style and the seaside area.
This is our target audience: This will be designed for students coming to study here from abroad.This will be targeted at a male and female audience. They will be mainly aged 16+ as our college don't really have people younger than that wanting to study here. We would like them to get the feel of Penwith college being welcoming and fun NOT scary.
I think they would relate to the kind of colours that Truro and Penwith college use because not does it represent the new college well, but it represents the area we are in. The blue/green colours they use represent the countryside and the seaside/beach are we live and study in.
Here are the sort of blue/green colours that our college uses to represent the college and the area around it:
I think here I was a creative thinker and teamworker as we had to think about what product we wanted to do and we had to work together to decide what to make.
We are going on a trip to Trengwainton gardens which will inform us about the kind of work we could do for them. This trip could open up a wide range of projects and work experience opportunities. The sort of work you could do is make promotional materials for their family trail or their wet nose day on the 2nd of may. We could also use their location to make a short film their after Easter in many different types of genres or do some really good photography work on the views of St Michael's mount from there or the plants which would be quite enjoyable.
We went to Trengwainton gardens and unfortunately it was raining so we couldn't get the footage and photographs that we would have liked to get. We are hoping to go again soon in the summer so we can catch all the footage or photographs we need. It would have been nice to look round if wasn't raining but hopefully we should see the full potential of the garden next time.
We went for a second time and we got some better photographs to use for this project or work experience. We also took our posters back to them to get feedback but unfortunately they said they already had a layout that they said they were going to use for wet nose day. I think there are still work experience opportunities in the future which sound quite interesting.
This has been like a mini version of the project which we are going to do next which is called interact. This where you go out and find a local organisation to make either promotional materials or marketing materials for them.
I think here I was a reflective manager because I was reflecting and looking at what the next project would be. Also I was a team worker as I was working with someone to take photo's and make a poster together.
He told us that the main aspect he wants us to focus on is the web advert on the college website. This advert would also be on a website maybe that we make just to show the advert and about the college. He would still like us to do the video and the photo booklet. He liked the target audience we chose (potential students from abroad). I think overall it went really well and we explained everything clearly and he was really clear on what he would like. All we have to propose to him now is the budget.
