Employability

Todays lesson we started with a warm up on industrial media jobs and name the skill need for that job. 

then watched a youtube clip from the apprentice when the female side are pitching a shampoo product and answer the question on the board 

'Was it a success and why?

What was good and what was bad?
What you would have done differently?

Kind of similar to the question we had to answer.

Next we talked in pairs about what pitching is; I use video pitching like when someone create a tv show the person needs a producer and a tv company ever broadcast or cable to air the show and its them who decides to keep the show or not bother.

 We then went back to our presentation we started a while back about media jobs we would like, mine is writer and director (but mostly the writer job) Then on photoshop he needed to make an message map and used what you've written and put in on the bored (Just one of the jobs)

Heres the message map

Photoshop (snowflake paint brush)

This is the christmas card we made by following Leanna instruction. First thing we needed to learn on was how to get the snowflake paint brush onto photoshop. Then one that was done she showed us a picture that she made which is kind of similar to the one I made and by using that she went through 1 step at a time with us following what she does and the ending result is the picture she has which is what I've got only the tree is a bit different but other than that it turned out well.

I think I mostly like is the Merry Christmas, I might use that on my christmas card not completely sure but mostly 50/50.  

What I'm enjoying and Fanfic

In class we started to create to a story idea involving an envelope and a mystery phone calling telling where to take the the envelope too.

I'm really enjoying this lesson because  I really enjoy writing story and i'm really proud of the Fanfic I've written and put online for everyone to read. I think this took a lot to do this because you're letting people you don't know, read your story and for all you know might give you bad review but then again it always to have people you the good things about your, Help you keep to carry on and write more stories, definitely worked for me.

Christmas card ideas

For this board we had to use pinterest which is a website that full of people design for different themes like christmas, disney, sea, ECT... On there we all signed up for our own account then we needed to make our own board which is the 'Christmas card ideas' then find other pictures that related to our own ideas for our christmas card.

All the pictures at top all have something I want to use on my card, I've also decided to used materials like gold and silver glitter (silver-snow, gold-magic) and Iridescent scatter for the northern lights because of the way it changes colour when the lights hit it.

The card shape is is a tall rectangle. 40% of the lower card is going to be the sea and the rest of the 60% is the sky with a full bright moon in the middle.

Sky
Above the moon is where the Northern lights are gonna be and onto the lights i'm adding the Iridescent scatter, not too much that you can see the lights but enough so that it'll give it a bit of an effected; On top of the and the rest in sky is gonna have the small twinkle stars. The sky's is going to be at night because it to me makes it more christmasy.

Sea
In the sea there will be snow in the water, on the snow I'll be adding silver glitter to it to make it more christmasy.

Moon
In the moon there will be the shadow of Santa Claus in his sleigh along with his reindeers. Under his sleigh is the gold glitter representing magic, underneath written on the moon its going to say Christmas with Merry above the sleight on the moon.

Colour scheme
Dark blue, black. white, grey, sliver, gold

This is my final result and I think it's really good. 

Blog Post answers (About Marijuana)

• What did you read that you didn’t know before?

That Marijuana can lower your grades and even make you drop out of high school.

• 
  
• Does this blog post change your views? If so, how?

Well a little bit. I mean I would never takes drugs nor would I try it but it definitely show that it can change your grades because in TV show it shows people taking drugs to keep them up at night to help you study when in real life Marijuana help lower your grades.

• 
  
• How might the information in this post be useful to you?

It mostly another good reason why young people should't take drugs, It effects your life and looks.

• What are some of the risks involved in doing drugs? Do you think about these risks? Why or why not? I think that it affecting you grades is a risk because it effecting your further; People want good paying jobs but if taking drug is causing you to get lower grades then you're most likely get a job you don't want but it'll pay the bill or no job at all if you leave school because of taking drugs.

• How does media play a role in drug use and addiction? Consider all types of media, including television and movies, social media, and advertisements.

Tv shows and social media do show the consequences are if you take drugs and what would mostly happen like the way you look, What would happen if you try to go cold turkey altogether but at the same time they do show way on how to get sober if you really want to. Media help a lot from what I've seen on Facebook there're post of people mugshots before and after from when they've been arrested again and overly been taking drugs.

At the same time though when they used drugs in a tv show showing students taking something to help studies this could be getting students to take them as well because it shows them what the drug is called and if nothing happens to them on tv they might think it'll be alright for them to take in real life.

Location Scout and Recce

Location Scout- Is when looking for a location for a film/tv show that just had it scripted finished and now the scene need a outside location.

Recce- Is re visiting a site/location to work on like shooting a film/tv show 

They are important because without the people who's job it is to find the location they wouldn't be able  to find locations in time plus trying to permission to use the location and how long they can use it for. 

The reason we have risk assessment is because when their on location they need to note down all the risk their because then they can warn the actors and crew on where the risks are and how not to get injured or if there's members of the public is their they can also make sure they don't injure anyone else .

animation waterfall

In class we had to make an animation and for my animation I did a water fall around my hat. How I did it was first getting a blue felt tip pen and 2 pieces of paper. Then I had to tear the paper getting long strips then ripping it up into smaller pieces.

Once that was done and coloured I got the photo booth up where I took a picture of me and just my hat without anything on it then I would add paper along the side my hat then take a picture and I would keep doing this until both side got close to each other that then I could swap it with another blue paper that I made that it would go around my hat plus it made it easier to attach the water fall on to it.

Once everything had a picture ad got photoshop up along with the guide that Steve put on Facebook. I used the guide to help figure out how to make the animation.

After a lot of frustrating attempts I finally made my animation. I would say for my first time making an animation I would say I did a good job, It could have been better but I'm happy with it.
