# data[].attributes.body
Today i must look at interactive media and do some interactive research.

# data[].attributes.body
Word count

Tabloid paper: average words per sentence 16.5. For tabloid newspapers sentences are kept short and simple because this newspaper is for readers who perhaps can't read that well compared to target audiences for other newspapers and that these audiences are more likely to read less

Broadsheet paper: average words per sentence 21.65. For broadsheet newspapers sentences are usually a bit longer because the target audience suggests that their reading capabilities are higher than that of the target audience of the tabloids.

This is an attempt to make a FRAMING based photo with Charlie and Chloe on either side being the frame. We discovered that this photo lacked a main subject and so we put charlie,s bag in the middle hoping that this would make the photo a little more interesting. This little change didn't make much difference but we played around with ideas to see what would work. Despite this photo lacking depth of field and lacking a main subject this was still one of the best photos we took due to the others being too blurry and out of focus.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an example of the rule of third with charlie and and chloe whom you can barely see being the main subject. The windows and and details add a little bit of variety to this photo.

# data[].attributes.body
a photo of charlie look out the window use the art of FRAMING. Me and Chloe agreed that this was the best one. The background surrounding the frame is much darker and you can barely see the radiator beneath the window. The darkness around the edge of the frames makes it perfect for the sky and everything within the middle to really shine through and give a unique atmosphere.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we had another photography project. We had to look at "the rule of thirds" and "framing" as well as "depth of field". Due to bad weather we were restricted to taking our photos indoors so we were limited to were we could go meaning we had to use a bit of creativity. While we really did struggle and we made a lot of mistakes we still managed to take a few good ones but due to lack of inspiration we only took half as many photos. I have posted some of the best ones above.

# data[].attributes.body
Along with photography i have also been looking at documentaries. I had to write a detailed document about what went into this documentary and techniques used to make it effective. I have finished my first documentary breakdown but must finish my second one.

# data[].attributes.body
another shot i took of the paper airoplanes. This shot perfectly captures the planes mid air with one of the falling and of them gliding across the picture. This photo has no blur but you can see the planes flying mid air

# data[].attributes.body
After experimenting with different ideas we ended up in the O-Zone with me and charlie playing table tennis and chloe taking pictures. This photo contains motion blur. you can see the table tennis balls the white one and the orange one quite faintly but this photo captures the motion. My arm has also been blur with my attempt to catch one of the balls.

# data[].attributes.body
I came up with the idea of paper airoplanes. Here i have captured a picture of chloe with her hands in the air as she launched the paper airoplanes. This shutter speed photo has the frozen effect. The image is perfectly clear with no blur.

# data[].attributes.body
To begin with we didn't have any ideas on what to take pictures of so we went to look at the traffic. Here Chloe has captured an ambulance driving past the college and by using a good shutter speed she as managed to capture the blur of the ambulance. The picture is also quite bright.

# data[].attributes.body
Me, Chloe and Charlie have finally finished taking all our photos based on shutter speed and have experimented with different ideas and the tried different speeds of the shutter. However the faster a photo is taken the less light there will be so artificial lighting has to be used for higher speeds. I have posted some the best ones above.

# data[].attributes.body
Today me and my group are going to look at "shutter speed" capturing the motion or movement of a moving object and intentionally blurring things out for effect.

# data[].attributes.body
This is one of Chloes photos. This is a photo of flowers with a blurred out background. whilst the background lacks simplicity the flowers in the middle still draws attention with a unique range of colour.

# data[].attributes.body
This was one of Chloes, Whilst trying to capture the berries in the background this flower got in the way and captured a unique shot. Chloes attempt to focus on the berries failed but in the background the berries are blurred but still stand out in the background slightly with the flower in the middle which is not blurred but still stands out.

# data[].attributes.body
This was one of my photos. Capturing the art of REPITITION. This is a pictures of gravel, there are a lot of stones in this picture with a big white stone in the middle which draws attention to itself among the stones in the background. This photo would look better if you could see the wall in the top right corner which takes away from the pictures contrast.

# data[].attributes.body
This is one of mine. A close up of a tree capturing the art of LINE. There are a lot of branches that stand out in this picture and the thin lines in the background makes this tree looks "webbed" and captures the detail of this tree with all the leaves on it

# data[].attributes.body
I have finished my documentary report. I must try and finish my research if i can but can always come back to it. Today Cliff gave the class cameras and we were split into groups. I was with Chloe and Charlie and we all took pictures. As a class we had to experiment with composition,colour,texture,shape and line. I have posted some of the best ones above

# data[].attributes.body
Today we started to look at documentaries. My assignment is to watch a documentary and write a report on it. I must also finish my photography research.

Today me and Chloe are going to continue to look at pixilation. Chloe made some pixilation of her own while she was waiting me to arrive. This afternoon we will have to complete our final assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
Now that everything is finished for now. Me and Chloe have begun to look at pixilation which is animation with people instead of objects with the idea that someone or a group of people will be the star of the video. Some will choose to add objects to their pixilation videos as well to add variety and interest to the content of the video. Pixillation is commonly used to fool people and to make people do things that they can't normaly do such as teleportation, walking into walls, flying and other supernatural abilities which creates the illusion that people can actually do these things which makes these types of videos quite popular if people put a lot of effort into them. Me and Chloe did some test footage with me being the star since Chloe was the star of our last project.

# data[].attributes.body
Chloe found a way of putting the video on Padlet, however we can only watch it on our IPads.

# data[].attributes.body
I am currently struggling to get video onto padlet because of problems with youtube but all questionnaires have been completed. Everything is done me and Chloe are now ready to move on

Reminder: Leave class at 2.00 this afternoon for a meet up with a member of staff at the canteen for a discussion about radiclisation and to get another questionnaire filled in for english.

# data[].attributes.body
Today i must complete my questionnaires and and get my video onto Padlet if i can.

# data[].attributes.body
Me and Chloe have finally finished our film completely. We have added sound a few animal sounds as well as music to go with the video. When the video was finished, Some were confused as to why the video ended so suddenly. Me and Chloe went back and fixed this by extending the video slightly as well as fading out the music. After this was finished Chloe and I did our evaluations as well as writing and printing our questionnaires. We still need people to complete our questionnaires which we are currently working on. We printed out 4 questionnaires each. Chloe is going to make a youtube account when she gets home so we can put our video project onto Padlet.

# data[].attributes.body
Me and Chloe have finished our film. We must now add audio like music and or sound effects to complete our project. We must also put our finished video on Padlet.

# data[].attributes.body
We have now fixed our background situation. We may have to add clay to put animation project so we can experiment with different materials. Chloe has made another storyboard, one that is more detailed so we know exactly whats happening in each scene and so its a little easier to follow.

# data[].attributes.body
we now have the word we need as titles. everything is ready except for the background. Progress is slow and has virtually come to a stop until we find some backgrounds for our video. in future I'm must work out how to overcome these problems more quickly and more effectively.

# data[].attributes.body
We almost have everything we need for our Ident project. after a lot of cutting out stencils we are almost ready. we still need some backgrounds though.

# data[].attributes.body
Today i looked at some indents for inspiration. Chloe came up with the idea of nature for a channel called Wet Wild & Windy. Featuring 3 different forms of wildlife for our Ident. We are going to expand on these ideas tomorrow and see what we can create.

# data[].attributes.body
today I completed my stencil animation with Chloe. For my new project i must look at idents.

Today me and Chloe started on our animation project. There is a lot to be done, we need to get as many images as possible to increase our frames per second. This is what I achieved today

# data[].attributes.body
This is my first padlet status using my new iPad. It's going to take some time to get used it but I'm getting there. Today me and my group partner Chloe were given another project. We have until half term to finish this project. We have to make an animation roughly 10 seconds long with about 10 slides/frames per second. Me and Chloe made a spider diagram based on the ideas we had and then once we had a story we made a brief storyboard. Chloe did most of the drawing on this Story board but I will do a large portion of the drawings for the main project.

# data[].attributes.body
Today everyone received their iPads. Took a while to setup, I created a new apple ID for my iPad to keep my college life and home life as separate as possible because i feel that this will help me concentrate better. I am familiar with apple technology as i have an iPad at home. At the moment while the iPad mini may prove useful at times I don't share everyone else enthusiasm for this new technology and can't help but be concerned that some will use it for the wrong purpose. The photo and video features will be what I'm focused on most. This may come useful for projects in the future

# data[].attributes.body
I have finished my animation research based on what i could get done. The information research is minimal but everything is there. I am ready to move on.

# data[].attributes.body
This afternoon Me and chloe had to make our own zoetrope animation film with 8 slides. We decided to keep it simple and use a stickman on a trampoline

# data[].attributes.body
I have continued to look at animation research but have lost interest slightly due lack of understanding. It is a little difficult to pick out the right information. I have found and recorded what i can at this point but may have setbacks. I have taken notes but I may have to make more in future.

# data[].attributes.body
Today i must continue to look at animation. so I can prepare for filming next week with 2d and 3d objects for animation

# data[].attributes.body
today i have finished my project, my self assessment, synopsis and script. I have also obtained feedback from my questionnaire and have begun to look at animation on youtube for an animation project that we are going to start as a

# data[].attributes.body
I have handed out my questionnaire and obtained feedback from people. the average score out of 10 was an 8. They said that the video was a little shaky in places and is something i need to improve on.

# data[].attributes.body
Script is done, synopsis is done.

# data[].attributes.body
Today i must write my questionnaire and get people to view the advert so they can give their opinions on it and perhaps state any improvements they would make to the advert. I must look at my synopsis and make sure its complete. I must complete my self evaluation.

# data[].attributes.body
Me and chloe finished our video for our project. We added music and text to our video and finished my some audio of me talking in the background. I must now complete my questionnaire and get people to watch the video so they can write down what they think and perhaps any improvements they would make. I still need to finish m script for the video as well as making sure the synopsis is complete. I must post the video on my padlet as evidence as well as adding any research that may have been done for the video. Tommorow i will be introduced to animation and will be given a project similar to this one based on animation

# data[].attributes.body
Today we must apply music and some sound effects to our video. We must also shorten our 7min footage on our timeline to just 30 seconds. This will be a challenge as there is so much we would like to use. We must be Extremely picky about what we keep in our video to keep it within our 30 second mark. We were planning on shooting a little more footage today but due to time restrictions we have to decided to work with what we already have and finish our video project TODAY. I must also edit my synopsis and script to match the details of the new video we have made.

# data[].attributes.body
Me and chloe spent the afternoon filming new footage for our video. We got at least 10 mins of footage including the mistakes we made. We also spent the afternoon editing the footage and learning how to use the software. We learnt how to crop our footage so we can take what we need and we learnt how to speed up our footage for the very slow bits. This also increases the amount of footage we can actually use. By the time we finished our day we had 7mins of edited footage on our timeline. More editing must be made to perfect and polish our video. We must also include slogans, music and sound effects to our video as well as shortening it to the maximum 30 seconds that we are allowed to use in our video so the 7 mins we have must be shortened greatly to finish our project.

# data[].attributes.body
My Group has been split, i am now working with Chloe and we are thinking about changing our ideas. Progress has been compromised due to group changes, my computer has been left without a computer and mouse and now my access to a computer is restricted. I have also lost time due to lateness. Me and chloe must come up with something quickly to make up for lost time and progress.

# data[].attributes.body
The storyboard is finished. The synopsis and the script is also finished. Me and my group should prepare to start filming.

# data[].attributes.body
today me and my group had to write the script for the video. As a class we were introduced to a new software called Padlet. This allowed us to organise our work and to keep track of it all. This software is fairly straightforward to use and easy to get the hang of and will be a big benefit in the future for our work. I felt more comfortable contributing to group work today but i had a little difficulty understanding certain tasks. Tommorow i will have to think about filming the advert itself. This will be no simple task and we must still edit the video afterwards. We will have to get a few simple shots to begin with so we know what we are working with and we will build on it. It is a little difficult build on the group work as certain members of the group are not taking it as seriously as they should be.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we continued with our advert project and continued to brainstorm ideas. Most of the time i stayed quite due to uncertainty about my ideas and let everyone else do most of the talking. I agreed with what everyone had to say so didn't feel much need to say anything but insecurities were holding me back a little and is something i need to work on when it comes to group work. By the end of the day we had a pretty clear picture of what we wanted and made a brief storyboard for our advert.

# data[].attributes.body
today we looked more adverts but instead we looked at the educational ones. We looked at the message the adverts were trying to get across and breaking these adverts down to look at the different styles and details of these adverts.

After looking at adverts other people had made, the class was tasked of making a 20-30 sec advert of our own in our groups. We started with brainstorming different indea into a spider diagram. I did my best to throw ideas in along with the rest of the group but my ideas were TOO ambitious. I struggled to think practically with ideas. after discussing different products we decided to do multi purpose trainers. This idea came about because the adverts for trainers are most often kept simple but stand out effectively. We decided to look at other adverts on youtube to help with our ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
today we looked at adverts and writing down on paper the narrative of these adverts as well as looking the style, the genre and the target audience. These adverts were advertising different products and had a different approach to advertise their products.
