Unit's 1, 2, & 3-Media Passport brief-This unit was Leanne, Ed. it was the first unit we did in media. L-was designing a postcard, with 4 picture of bath in the corners. Ed lesson was making a short film using the 180 rule we learnt and locations.
Leanna-I think that choosing the bath abbey was a good idea, i think using the side of it is better instead on the front which most people usually would choose. I think the sky could have been better Changing the colour of the sky and cloud didn't go as planed.
Ed-I think filming Aaron and Ben went well, it was fun filming it. I think choosing a film line that they knew would have been better then making it up. I think that with the bench film with the coffee cup and water bottle I think that it went well because everyone recorded a clip and that edited it was easy to do. I think that adding music in the background would have made it a lot more better then it being silent.
Steve-The colour wheel went well, i did have a bit difficulty's with it, but then it turned out well. I think I should have chosen a different colour wheel cause most of the colour's I took pictures of didn't go well with it. I think with the type, that went well, it was a bit of both hard and easy to do. Infographic I think could have gone better if I had the right data.
Unit 4-Christmas Card & Comic Book- This unit was Leanne lesson. This one involved designing a christmas card, starting in November till December. Creating the card we used websites like Pinterest to get idea's for our cards, looking at card prices in shops (cause we were gonna sell them but because of how long it took us to make them that we didn't sell them at the end)
I think using my free time and looking up on the internet to find things to help design things that I didn't know how for my card went well cause I found how to make northern lights and how to make a sea, I would say that went well. What could have been improved on was creating the snow on the sea that could have gone better, could have done a bit more research on how to create snow on water.
We also had to create a comic book. My main character was a spider, a scorpion and a butterfly. We had to create a page on Pinterest with all the comic book ideas from the pictures we found on Pinterest. We also got to use a drawing tablet which gave us the option to use that or sketch and scan on to the computer.
I think that coming up with story went well. It's a paranormal comic so with including the characters, I had to work with I think it went well. I didn't finished my comic completely (Still need to add the other two characters to it) because everyone else had started a week before when I was in Rome and so we had that day to finish it. So I think that could have been better if I got the last two characters drawn on.
Unit's 5 & 6-Caller Unknown This unit was Tobie's and Leanne lesson. It involved writing and producing a short film. The two main things that needed to be included in this film was an unknown caller and a letter. In Leanne we made a moon board including everything we needed for the short film.
What gone well was recording the scene's, I think that cause I had written them down in order, that I think helped it a lot. What could have been improve is that I should have looked back at the clips I had recorded before starting the next clip. Also I think having a second director would have been helpful.
Unit 7-Interactive-This unit was Steve's lesson. Steve's was the popcorn. we had to use flash to create a slide show with how popcorn is made using a steam engine train. We also designed a toy poster as well as a trailer, advertising the toy.
I think for the popcorn the drawing and placing the picture on the pages went well. What could have been improved was the sound affect I didn't really add any so that is something that I could have improve on.
For the toy it would be the house. Because I wasn't sure on how to re draw the house I coped and paste it on the poster and doing that meant I couldn't change the colouring of the house so I would have to change the colouring on the poster then place it on the flash drive in the same place for each one, That took up a bit of time so next time would try and re-draw it on flash and try and save time.
