Final preparations on my performance 2.3.1a

  • My role in the performance was to act as a detective and a few unknown people.

  • My main responsibility was to make sure that i am able to change my voice as quick as possible when switching from characters to characters. I also needed to make sure i have a good flow with my characters so the whole performance don't seem too fake and un- organize. The other responsibility i had to make sure i keep together was the sound effects, i have to have the right timing and play the right tone.

Front cover





For the second unit Scene, we have been looking at leaflets and researching up on them. We were first given the task to go home and look for any kind of leaflet that advertises events happening. When we attended the next graphics lesson we had to show the different types of leaflets we had and discuss what it is about, how it is designed and why it is designed.

Our main task was to design our own leaflets for creative & media for 16-19 year olds. My idea for a leaflet was to advertise different types of events happening in London's South Bank and where people can go when they are there. I decided to advertise my dance group called 'Fresh Az Ice' which would be my main attraction for my leaflet. The dance will be taking place at the National Theatre. I did approximately 3 different ideas of how it would look, but at the end I finally selected my final idea.
<<---------------------


Even though I had to include 3-4 other events for the leaflet I still thought it would be more creative to focus on an creative activity of my own. At first I thought it was too long to be doing all of this and that it was boring but i thought to myself that I needed to complete everything in order to earn my diploma. I did the following designed events of the Movieum, The London Eye and The Aquarium. The other 2 remaining designs were of a map on how to get there and where the events are and a front cover. These took me quite a long while to complete because of the lack of determination. If I never thought about what I can earn if I completed this then i think I would have probably left this till late. For each one of these designs I made more than one draft and came out with final ideas. Finding out what I could include on a leaflet helped me more thanks to the internet. If I never used it I would have seriously been struggling. The main things I surely needed to include were the price, time, place, date, and use language and fonts that young people will relate to. Those were the key thing i needed to include. I personally think I did very well with my design for my leaflet, I am well happy with it and there is a lot of people I would truly recommend it to.

Paul the journalist

Paul is a journalist that works for the Observer newspaper company. He is a sub-editor in his job, he writes reviews and copy articles. Paul is the type of journalist that also interviews celebrities, especially at the back stages. It as been around 20 years that Paul as been a journalist for. Written work is called copy when in the journalist industry, unlike us modern day people would call it text. Being a sub- editor is a big job because he has to narrow down whatever writing as possible so it is interesting and have a good flow. He went to the London college of printing where he first started studying journalism. Being a journalist is not an easy job, its like non stop work and if your not working the you will not get paid. He also use to work for a music paper called sounds.
The reason for him choosing this kind of job is because he is very interested in the art, and the way journalism is changing rapidly, its hard to get in the industry these days. It is a problem when your missing your deadline rapidly, because you will get fired, so you have to make sure you keep up.
