Media

Today after school I finished off my brainstorms for LO 1.2 so that I have different ideas on what I would want to do for my final designs and also so that I have evidence in my folder of my planning and finalising.

Media Diploma

Hii,

Today in my Media Diploma 2nd, 3rd and 4th lesson with Mr Foley we finished off the sheet that we were annotating about advertising including different forms of advertising, the production of advertising, the regulations and also the pros and cons of advertising. further on in that lesson we carried on with our work for LO 1.2 and 1.3 during doing that I made a draft poster and leaflet for the year 7 entry and another thing we done during that lesson was that we disscused all of the different sorts of things that could possibly go on to our adverts.
In my Media 5th and 6th lesson with Mr Mills we looked at different schools websites and compared how they advertise their school to how our school advertises itself and looked at ways that we could make our one better, but before all of that we had 2 year 11 students come into our lesson to talk about sixth forms and colleges and also asked them if they would come to this schools sixth form or not and asked them what other sixth form and colleges stood out more than our schools sixth form. After we had the talk with them we talked about how we could get research and ideas for our adverts by having focus group with year 11's and or year 7's, handing out questionnaires and different other stuff.

Mr Mills

Today in Media with Mr Mills we looked at videos from competitions that our school was entered into. The competition that we looked at was called 'Rock Challenge' which was a dancing competition and when we looked at this video I an idea that the rock challenge pictures should go on the school website and  the school brochure for LO 1.2 because it is something that everyone would want to see, so that when parents looking to send their child to the school or a yr 11 student wants to go to the school they would see that  the school does lots of different things with different cultures mixed together.

Putting these sort of pictures on the school website and the school brochure would make the school stand out more than it did before and would also make it look better than the schools so people would want to come here, and they would also think that it would be a great experience for them.
So when it comes to making the advertisements for the school for LO 1.2 I would know what exact pictures that I would want on the adverts to make the school stand out from all the rest of the other schools.

This lesson was very useful to me because it gave me different ideas on how and what I can put in the advertisements that i will be making for the schools.

Today in my meeting with Mr Mills i learnt that after doing  presentations I should evaluate my work on how I think that I have done on it. This is to help me keep a record of things that I do in my Media Diploma lessons, and I was also sorting out my my Media Diploma folder so that it is neat and presentable and also so that I have evidence of everything that I do so that when my work gets sent off to the examiner and they look at the Guided Learning hours that I have to do for the Media Diploma course my work backs it up.

SELF ASSESSMENT FOR 1.2

SELF ASSESSMENT FOR 1.2 ROUGH SKETCHES OF ADVERTS (7 & 6^th form)

Today in class I had to first of all design four different adverts in rough sketches 2 for year 7 entry and 2 for the sixth form entry at the convent of jesus and mary and then had to peer assess other people in the class on their rough sketches.

My advertising focus for year 7 is to persuade them to come to the Convent of Jesus and Mary Language College for their education and to make the poster more attractive.

What went well about my year 7 adverts are that it had pictures and was  childly which showed  asspects of a fun life at school.

The year 7 adverts would be even better if it had more information that parents would like to read.

My advertising focus for the sixth form is to make students come to the convents sixth form to their A-levels and B-tec courses.

What went well about my sixth form adverts are that it had pictures and shows examples of how life is as a sixth former.

The sixth form adverts would be even better if it had information and statistics about A-level results and B-tech results.

In the peer assessment I learned that i would need to put a bit more information on my year 7 adverts so that the parents had a brief idea about the school and go and decide if they want to go and look at the school to send their daughter their and a bit more information on stuff like results on the sixth form adverts so that it was a bit more and still give a bit of information to parents.

Out of all the adverts I would like to further develop my year 7 print adverts because I prefer to design thing that are a bit more fun and creative rather than formal and also because I know children that would be starting year 7 so it would be easier for me to know what should go on the advert.

Out of all the adverts I would not like to further develop the sixth form advert because I find it more interesting design stuff that are not just full of statistics and that is formal and I would want to be more creative. 

Today in my Media Diploma lessons with Mr Foley I learnt further information about the rest of the learning objective that I will be doing before christmas, I learnt about learning objective 1.2,1.3, 1.4 and also 1.5.
In this lesson we started to do LO 1.2 where we analysed the different advertising techniques, we looked at newspapers, magazines, direct mail, radio, outdoor signs, television internet and other forms. when we looked at this we analysed all of them and broke them down, the reason we done this was to help us with the LO 1.2.
In the lesson with Mr Mills we looked at different schools websites and loked at how they advertised their year 7 entry and their sixth form entry and compared them to the convent saying how we could make our advertising better so that we can attract more people to the school and so that more people are looking at it.
In all of these lessons I have learnt how to improve my work for LO 1.2 and show different ways in which I am going to advertise the school and show a wider range of research in my work so that wen it come to LO 1.3 and 1.4 I know fully what i am doing so that i can get the highest marks possible for Unit 1 and that my work is to the highest possible standards that it can be to.

Today in my media diploma lesson with mr mills we learend about a thing called Prezi which is another way to make presentations if you had to make one.
I think the purpose of this taks was to look at different ways of presenting, doing this made me realise that i dont always have to use microsoft powerepoint to do presentations and that there are other stuff.
Thinking about it now i think that i will use Prezi in the future to design presentations to make them look more futuristic and engaging.
I think that the most important thing that i learnt tody is that i can use different programs to design different stuff so that i dont alays have to stick to the same stuff all the time e.g. microsoft powerpoint.
