Our day with Rob from Saatchi

All through the day, Rob from Saatchi was with us, helping us with our project on 'Unicef'.
Firstly we sat down as a class and he talked to us about road safety. Road safety was just to help us about what we can do with our project. He showed us the tree main posters and a video clip and two radio adverts. When we got into out project groups we had to answer some questions on the board. This helped us understand what the campaign was about and how to analyse it.
After this Kitty and myself worked on our PowerPoint about 'Education 4 girls'. We then thought of a way that we could raise money for Unicef. Kitty came up with the idea of painting girl's nails. When they come into the class room, there would be posters up about how poor education is in other countries.

Media Mock Exam

For this exam we had to prepare information that we done last year. When we made our visit to do a interview. We should of had at lest 10 piece of information. This was hard for me because i only had 3 pieces of information.

The exam was split into two sections. Section A was 1 hour and we had to write about the information. Section B was 2 hours long we had to do the evaluation.

For our exam we needed:


  • Story board.

  • A script.

  • A statement from a team member.

  • Copy of the brief.
I found section A harder. This was because i didn't have all of the information i needed. I only had a story board and copy of the brief. If i had everything, i think i would of found it easier.

monologue

In drama we had to write a monologue about some one of our choice.

Here are some thing we should try and include:
Who am i?
How old am i?
How do i move?
Where am i?
What am i doing?
How am i doing it?
Why am i doing it?
How do i feel?

My monologue is about a girl who is going into her second year of university, she isn't rich and her two friends who are going to live with her are very rich. Her dad then dies, and he leaves her money in her will.
Later we have to preform it in three different rooms, on stage, in the studio and in our chosen place.

Trip to the Bakery.

Inspire asked us to make a film teaching numeracy or literacy through and interview and demonstration. Our group went to he Bakery to teach numeracy to year fours.
Before we left to go to he bakery, we had to made sure that everything was working. We turned on the camera, checked to see if the battery was fully charged. If the sound was working, and if all the leads and wires were in the correct place. After everything was working we then went down the bakery to start filming.
Alex Ross was the manager and he showed us were the kitchen was.
We then gave the baker a list of questions that we were going to ask him. This was a good thing, because then when we were filming he knew what we were going to ask him.
After we asked him the questions, we started to film the bakers doing their job, and filming all the machines that they used to bake.

We all done everything right during our time at the bakery. The only thing that went wrong was that we lost our tape, because we didn't put our names on it. There for we have to go back the the bakery again and film it.
