Interview Critique

I didn't go to the BBC trip when the rest of the class the second time. The next lesson i help with the editing.
In todays media lesson, we looked at some other peoples work and what they done at the BBC.
We then had to edit it, and i was working with Farah and Anne- Marie. On the first day of editing, i had to learn how to edit, like they did when they went to the BBC using Final Cut Pro.

Day Trip To Sadler Wells

On 3rd December
We learnt about all the different jobs people had, and how they worked.
The first place that we went was the mini theatre and we stood on the stage and Sarah (one of the workers at content) talked to us about the staging area, and how many seats the mini theatre could hold. She also gave us a tour around Sadlers Wells with her two colleagues. The reason why it was called 'Sadler Wells' is because Mr. R Sadler found a well in the theatre, therefore got the name 'Sadler Wells'
After that, we went to the main stage. We had a tour backstage, and saw were they dance, before they come on stage. The dance room backstage is the same size as the stage, so that the dancers can practise with the right amount of space.
Then we went onto the stage, and there were people doing their jobs there, so we saw what they were doing. But we got in the way, so we had to go off stage.
Overall the day was good and enjoyable. Also we learnt alot and therefore i know more stuff, and it is very important.

Tate Britain

On 18th November 2008, we went to Tate Britain to look at two main exhibitions- ‘The Turner Prize 2008’ and ‘Francis Bacon’
Firstly we went to ‘ The Turner Prize 2008’
When we got in, we looked at the four artists; Runa Islam, Mark Leckey, Goshka Macuga, Cathy Wilkes.

After The Turner Prize 2008, we went to the 'Francis Bacon exhibition' He had 10 different rooms. We had to draw at lest one painting/ drawing of his in every room.
His art work was hard for me, because i didn't understand how he got his paintings so popular.
