Task 2:

The main skills for song writing is to practice. Not all songs rhyme but rhyming is one of the best ways to make a song, You need to make sure you have a good Rhythm to every every beat, a good flow and make sure it is making sense. Poem is kind of the same as song writing. You need to make sure it sounds good and catchy for people to want to listen to it. Know who your target audience are and make sure it as the appropriate type of language in it.

Producer- You need organization skills for becoming a producer. You cannot be un-organized and expect to be a good producer, you have to make sure you have everything on point. Negotiating is another key skill you need for becoming a producer. If you don't have good negotiating skills then there is no point because you would have to make deals for your film crew or music crew, equipments and the sets. Energy, determination and the right mentality could make it all successful for you, if you don't have any energy and your just lazy then you can find yourself dreaming about producing. Determination is the key thing for almost anything there is so making sure you are would get you anywhere.

Task 3- People do not really know how to apply for a job in the music industry, there is not an official answer, its something that happens just like that. One of the main ways people do get into the industry is by doing their own thing, like TV shows, videos etc. Eventually in time you will find yourself in the business depending on your great progress.

Task 4

Song writing:

1. Dedicate some time each day to composing songs. Make sure that you are practicing daily.

2. Listen constantly to popular songs and work out what is it that is making these songs successful. Make sure your studying their techniques and strength.

3. Before you even start on any song, you must always decide on who your target audience will be, and the type of of compositions they will relate to. Whatever music genre you choose make sure the melody and lyrics are able to be understood by them.

4. Make sure your enjoying your songwriting work, don't let it get the better of you. I f your not enjoying then there is no point of continuing.

Task 5- The median pay scale for a producer with a 1-4 year period is £30,000 - £40,000. A 5-9 year old period is from £40,000 - £70,000. A 10- 19 year period is £50,000 - £90,000. The pay scale for song writing is 1-10 year period 30,000 - 70,000

Task 6- One of the training methods needed for getting in the song writing business is to attend universities like, The Royal Academy Of Music, where you will be given lots of opportunities. The orchestra training in the Royal Academy of music prepares the students for a diverse and demanding professional life. The first year undergraduates take part in the string orchestra rehearsals weekly forming quartets for chamber music training. You can also join a music group with good consistant progress taking place, then wait till your time to shine.

You do not need any form of degree to be a producer. A producer is like a conductor of an orchestra; he understands each individual part, and also has an understanding of how that single part relates to the whole composition. You need a good working knowledge of music. Make sure you have a good grasp on the basic principle of rhythm.

Task 7- you can find out where work opportunities exist by watching the TV where certain adverts will tell you many information about the place of work opportunities. These come on rarely so you will have to be lucky to catch it. The SC magazine is a magazine that contains information on where work opportunities also exist. You can use the internet to find out this information but you would have to look carefully because it is highly difficult to find out this information.

1. Practice your songwriting and producing skills each and every day.

2. Gain knowledge of both types of the careers.

3. Earn your qualifications through out school/college/university.

4. Degrees can be earned but only through hard work.

3. As the music industry changes you do so too.

Unit 2 performance EVALUATION ON THE RADIO PLAY 16/12/09

Through out our radio play there were certain sound effects and music played at certain moments in the play. Every moment that the pilot is about to speak a 'ding dong' noise is played using a xylophone. This makes it more realistic, showing he is speaking through a Tanoy. We used a soft and sad sound clip also near the end of the radio play, this was to make you feel the emotion and fear of the people on the plane, it was basically to make you feel sorry for them. All these were live sound effects including the continuos noises of footsteps to show there are a lot of people around. The main success was the fact that we managed to go through the whole script without having to laugh, because usually we kept being immature and laughing at the voices we were making in this radio play. The other success was that we managed to to each take the role of more than one character. I am actually very proud that i have accomplish something fair enough with my group. One of the only problems i think there was, was the fact that we needed to rehearse more to allow us to flow better through the radio play better.

My main character in the radio play is a detective called detective smith. He was born in the Kansas, America. This is a male detective that is quite tall, dark brown, brown eyes, a bit toned, very healthy and highly intelligent. He was educated at the university of Kansas where he studied law. Further in his life he went to train to become a private detective, where he trained at the detective industry. After being succesful through this he was given the official status as a crime detective, being able to have good communication, good computer skills and self confidence when placed forward in court. He is more like a mysterious man who does what is needed to be done. He is awfully quiet and deep down holds a dark secret inside.

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.
• The tasks for the final preparation will be to get the xylophone to use for the tanoy the pilot speaks through.

• We will be using the xylophone, Our scripts, the mic, the stands and that is the main things we will be using.

to make sure we work safely, we will keep rechecking that everything is in place and that we are fully organized, able to

Evaluation 17/12/09

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.
