In this lesson we got given a task to go into groups with another group to ask for an assessment and get given feedback based on our idea for our ebook. I feel this helped because we were told our idea was creative and unique. We also got some negative feedback and that was there wasn't a plot to our story. We then re-discussed as a team and gave our story a plot. Having a peer assessment with another group I feel helped because we got feedback and we got pointers on how we should improve our story and got an opinion from another group.

Once upon a time there was a ladybird named Suzane. Suzane one day decided to sit outside on a leaf and look at life go by. All of a sudden a great gust of wind took a swish through the air and blew each and every single one of her spots clean off her red shelled back.

In whiplash he dictates the show in that he comes back on stage and starts playing the drums. This is to prove he can play the drums to the guy standing in front of him. We know that he is trying to prove himself to the guy as he plays the drums like mad and he is sweating. This creates a tense environment as he is proving himself and that it could go wrong and you feel the tension between him and the guy especially at the beginning. I feel that the music is to represent the mood and the guy playing the drums in what he is feeling. This connects us with the film because the music links us in with what is happening as its emotion and the beats are heavy.

When watching both videos in lesson, these podcast analysis of both 'Drive' and 'Whiplash' use very different techniques in the way they are explaining why its they like them. In drive the person gives it from the audience view and the opinions of this film in both negative and positive. Where as whiplash is explaining his opinion on the film but not going in to detail enough to give the film away scene by scene/

Last lesson we watched a handful of old children's adverts for films such as pingu and rosie and jim, this was to give us an idea of what we could do for our childrens audio/book. We then spent this time by editing images on photoshop or doing part to fit for our e-book. The idea of this was to keep on top of our work and carry on creating our ebook for our final outcome. We also watched a couple of scenes from two movies and was asked to compare them both to one another on how effective they are.

The targets i put on my visual diary was to complete any work given to me. I set a task in class to complete three backgrounds for our e-book. I managed to complete all three backgrounds. I leant how to do certain things on photoshop like inversing a highlighted area and adding an effect on the highlighted area. Dave took the whole class for an hour on a animation task on how to make a lion walk and move across the screen to make it look like its walking. i learnt from this how to copy and paste the images and group together to make it look like its walking on a spot. I also learnt the position to drag it across the screen to make it look like its walking across the screen. Before all this happened me and Josh because Kerian wasn't in we had to improvise, and because in my opinion josh was better at designing the characters and i was better at doing the backgrounds we both swapped. Also i was nominated at being team leader.

The issues i faced with doing Daves task was my lion kept disappearing completely and i didn't face many problems with doing any of the backgrounds.

I feel my backgrounds were very successful in that me and josh both liked the look of them as we edited them to look more cartoon like and not copied off of the internet or a famous movie. I feel my creativity skills came in to use and the combination of the colours and the styles of filters i used clashed brilliantly well and looks very good in my opinion.

Lauren child who wrote Charlie and Lola uses the similar in character structure and the way these characters speak. She's written plenty of books that look similar to the way Charlie and Lola look. If you look at the front cover of "beware of the storybook wolves" the character of this book looks similar to all the other books she has written like Charlie and Lola.

This was our task for our lesson, this was to get ideas on the different books by authors and look at the different styles that authors did. We then go onto production production to edit on Final Cut Pro to show a duck moving across the screen win it zooming into the duck. This was to get us use animating our final e-book so we knew how to make our e-book come to life. The only issue I mainly faced was getting the weed to stay upright and actually zoom in when moving. I didn't face a lot of issues but  what I did face I overcame. This will help me for future reference

The kissing scene towards the end of peter pan is my
favourite scene when it comes to the music because the music goes from being a
slow, eery and deep kind of music to indicate negativity and that something
amazing is going to happen. This then builds up to happy, fast up beat music.
The way they had the music, sound effects and the slow motion in muted when
they are all shouting is done so well, links in perfectly and beautifully with
the scene.

(this is the only video I could find including the whole
scene so ignore that its in another language).

In today's lesson we got into our allocated groups, did individual research brainstormed ideas looking at old children's books and attempting to come up with a perfect idea we were all happy with. We then gained an idea after a long discussion. We jotted this down on a mindmap and explained our idea and what will be included in our idea. I learnt that you can work in a team if you all discuss with one another, interact with one another. I also came across different children's stories I've never seen before and the other team members read as children. I developed proper research and discussion skills as I was confident in my group to do so. In the lesson I also did the assignment proposal questions which I answered in depth. I need to improve on this I think in putting in more analysis possibly. We didn't face any major problems, we all got along, did research and came up with our idea fairly quickly.

In today's lesson we was set a task to go on the Internet and draw a character that we chose from the Internet we then was set a task to do a practice photoshop after watching a video tutorial that Hannah set up, on how to use certain tools in photoshop. We chose a background image from the Internet and edited the photo, making it more cartoon based for a practice front cover for our ebooks. The whole purpose of this was to get us use to photoshop and giving us ideas on our ebooks and for our covers or pages. The issues I faced when doing this was finding a big enough image to put and edit on photoshop. Again I had problems with the different parts to photoshop as I'm not good at photoshop. So for example the magic wand symbol

In today's lesson we went over the brief, looked at what makes a good team member and what we have to do for our task. We was then set a task to photoshop two images from the image to create a cover for our ebooks to get use to editing, also ideas for out cover. We then had to write steps by using screenshots we took in the process of editing our photos. I learnt some new techniques on photoshop like colouring areas selected, select those areas, duplicate things, importing images, adding layers etc. I developed my editing skills as I was completely useless before hand, now I know how to not get frustrated with photoshop and how to use it properly. I do need to improve my timing as I was meant to edit two images but only managed to do one. I had a lot of issues copying and pasting an imported image and the part I wanted, it didn't work. I also had trouble trying to cut and select a certain area of an image as I didn't know what I was doing. The next action to complete a successful e-book would be to have a character down and a story/theme to it.

Last lesson we annalyzed the brief about what we are asked to do. We was then asked to do a mind map to draw out points and the evidence that we understand the brief and the task in what we have to do for these two units that are combined. We was then out into groups of 3 or 4. We was shown a clip from a movie take note of the sound effects and use animate objects to creat these sounds to edit over the clips. I learnt how to do this during the lesson.
