New unit Mike follow on from Batman Film work

Recently for Mike we have started a new piece of work, creating a Superhero and Villain, also creating a storyline, the start which sets the scene and kicks off the storyline, the middle part where good triumphs over evil, and the end where of course the superhero prevails and "moves on to fight another day".

There are some ideas, such as the bad guy does something bad:

Kidnapping

Robbery

A Natural Disaster (Which will be of course started off by the Villain)

Some kind of accident

Killing or torturing someone close to the hero to provoke or just to get the hero's attention

I have created a superhero and villain on a website called Marvel who made all the Spiderman and other superhero stuff, I now just need to come up with a storyline to fit around the characters and make the story interesting..

Unit 1 Digital Images

I have had to change my work that I am doing for Brian which involves the Animation work. My original plan was to do Charlton Athletic but I have discussed it with Brian and now we have decided that it is going to be quite hard to do, so we have decided to do the Southbank as the new topic. The reason why I am no longer doing Charlton is because some of the pictures weren't practical to take. I am now filling in a table to indicate what pictures I am taking, the reason for taking it, how I will get the Picture and how I will edit it. Now I need to add on some Pictures to it and highlight what the main picture is and what are the other main pictures that go with it.

Campaign- research and preparation for my own Campaign

We have started a new unit for Frank and Mandy called Campaign. So far we have been looking at all different Campaigns that there are, such as Anti Smoking, Drugs, Bullying and Racism and so on. We were set a piece of work where we had to find three different examples of Campaigns. I had two different examples of Campaigns, one was for making a new start for the new year the right way, and the second one was a plea campaign to help the victims of the Haiti Earthquake.

I realised that my third example was actually more of an advert , so I am going to use the anti smoking campaign below as my third example.

This is a campaign I have found online for anti smoking

http://www.bhf.org.uk/keeping_your_heart_healthy/preventing_heart_disease/smoking.aspx

My other two examples will be done on Paper, one is about starting the New Year in the right way, the actual title of it is: NEW YEAR, NEW START- MAKE A RESOLUTION THAT CAN ACTUALLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE. It is to do with making sure you enter the year with the right qualifications and make sure you are doing something you want to actually do, i.e job, college course, apprenticeship.

The other is to do with the Haiti appeal and it is a campaign of a plea for help to give money towards the Haiti Earthquake and help out the people that are struggling with the aftershock of the quake.

On Friday in Mandy's lesson, we went online and choose another three different Campaigns. My three different campaign were Crime, Drugs and Smoking.

This is my crime campaign:

This is my drugs campaign:

This is my smoking campaign:

26/01/10

Last week ( Week beginning 18'th January) Mandy gave us a booklet which is called 5.1.1

Checklist for analysing campaigns. On the first page, called poster research findings, I wrote about the three campaigns I have done above. We had to fill out a table, giving the name of the campaign, the main message of the poster, who the poster is aimed at, and is the poster effective in getting it's message across?

On the next page there is a campaign analysis, where you name your campaign, and you also have to state the different creative and media forms in the campaign.

And the final section is called campaign research findings, the questions begin to repeat a little bit, the main message of the campaign, who are the target audience for the campaign? The methods that have been used in the campaign, and was the campaign successful?

The Booklet needs to be completed by first day back from Half Term (22'nd February) and every page and section needs to be completed to be able to move on with the Campaign section.

Now (23'rd February) I need to properly kick off the campaign and start it off on Pages. Some information, an Eye-catching headline, some pictures of the campaign to draw attention into it.

The Campaign is going to be Smoking, and I am going to have different sections:

The Effects of Smoking, The Problems with Smoking, Young People Smoking,

The Price of Cigarettes, Smoking in the Past.

Maybe add some Images of the effects that Smoking has on the body.

For example: Here is a Picture of the effects of smoking

Aims of the Campaign- To warn 15-19 year olds about the side effects of Smoking and the effects it can have on the body.

Objectives: To try to get People to think twice about Smoking.

To also inform about the inflated prices of Cigarettes.

I have now started the campaign. I have added a Picture from my original starting smoking campaign, and a picture I have found

Timeline radio trailer Brian

Now that we have finished our radio play, Brian has asked us to produce a 30 second- 1 minute trailer promoting our radio play, using clips from the radio play and Music to go with the trailer, also have to remember not to give too much away.

Some of the clips can come from the beginning and middle of the play, but try not to take it from the end otherwise it can spoil it or give away.

Also there needs to be a Voiceover to guide the listeners or viewers through the trailer and give them the general gist of what is going on. The clips will be from the radio play I have done in lesson with Ryan, maybe as well in the trailer include some Music that is from the actual Radio play so it fits in and gives it a true feel to the people viewing it.

As well as stated before, it is okay to give away little bits but not too much
