Festivals

National Festival-Glastonbury:

http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/

I collected the 2010 poster for Glastonbury music festival and have also taken a screen grab from the official website. Looking into the advertisement methods I can easily recognize the important information that is shared between the festival and their target audience.

The information based throughout the official website gives its viewers an instant connection with the festival and allows them to collect the information needed. Looking into the poster I have noticed that the festival is based between the 23rd to the 27th of June 2010, and is held at Worthy Farm, Pilton in Glasto

nbury.

There are a large variety of different musical performances being held at the Glastonbury festival, some being; Dizzie Rascal, Snoop Dog, Jamie T, La Roux, Bashy, Roll Deep, Dreadzone and many others. Along with a number of performance's there are a number of different stalls and shops that allow residents of the festival to purchase many different items.

The Glastonbury festival is have been created for people aging 18 plus. The festival have appealed towards its target audience by attracting them with different different methods and appeals. The website has a number of different images showing its views how previous events had turned out, this method of attraction is used to give viewers some signs of how the festival will be.

Throughout the event there are a number of different funding methods that give the festival a bigger sum of money, which will therefore improve the overall outcome. To gain a bigger profit the festival has created a number of different sales, which also gives its audience a chance to buy items for their own enjoyment. There are also refreshments and beverages supplied which which are easily sold to gain a profit.

Local Festival- Ely Folk Festival

http://www.elyfolk.co.uk/

Above is a screen shot of the Ely Folk Festival official website, looking throughout the website I can easily recognize the specific details needed to be a part of the festival.

The information on the website gives its viewers the details needed for the festival, it shows that its held on the 9th-11th of July and is based in Ely, Cambridgeshire. These details allow their target audience to understand were the event will be held, which gives them time to organize transport for the festival.

Throughout the festival there will be a number of different musical gigs put on. Along with this there will also be theatre based performances shown throughout the festival. The bands that perform at the festival, are just average local bands that are trying to up there rating throughout the community.

The target audience for this festival is aimed towards the older generation. the festival supplies older fashion goods which attracts there target audience towards the festival.

set fees are set to gain a funding sum, allowing the festival to be a bigger appeal and success.

http://www.edinburghfestivals.co.uk/festivals/international?gclid=CMv5jMTSqaECFRg-lAodbUKaDg

Looking into a number of international festivals I found the Edinburgh Festival, this is a festival built for a huge range of different artistic cultures to be performed and will be shown during the 13th august to 5th september. The festival contains some of the finest creators and performers, and shows a huge range of outstanding performing arts.

The information that is based throughout the official website, allows its audience to view the different performances and also gives them a brief description on the different topics throughout the performing arts. The website also includes a number of different videos showing its audience how the different performances will be inspired.

Kettle Yard

1.)Who created Kettles Yard and why?

The creaters of Kettle Yard were Jim and Helen Ede. The household was then used to show a number famous art collections. The Famous artifacts were based throught different locations of the house, in order to represent them in an artistic formation.

2)What is the history behind the house?

Ketteles Yard was originaly conceived with students in mind. In 1956 Jim and Helen came to Cambridge in search of a 'stately home'. What they found instead were four tumbledown cottages nestling beneath the ancient church of St Peter. After finding these four cottages they were then reistablished into house's of an artistic nature.

3) How do you visit the house?

The house can be visited by conveying through the university grounds, it is based near the back of the university. When you enter the house, you are introduced by a number of workers that will explain the details of the house and give you a clearer understanding on the house.

4) What is displayed in the house?

The house shows a large number of different famous artifacts. Each artifact is placed in a different location which enthercises on its artistic nature.

Article 2- Film, Animation and photography

This article has been created for 'Picture house', Throughout the article it consist of an animated film that has been looked into and also looks into different aspects of the Picture House.

I have positioned a number of different images around the layout to draw the attention of its viewers. The text that I have also used, consist of a bold font to make it clear and understanding.

The text has been divided into a number of different sections, according to different areas of the picture house and the chosen animated film. This helps the reader understand the lay out of the article and gives them more interaction.

Fashions and Crafts-Article

This is the article that I created for 'Fashions and Crafts', my article represents a fashion industry that is branded in the creation of wool clothing. The reasons for me choosing this topic for my article, was that it is an non branded partition and is well represented throughout the website created for its advertisement.

Throughout my article, I added the methods used for the creation of the fashion criteria and also mentioned the appeal it included for its viewers.

I also added a number of different images, which therefore represented the purpose of the article. The images added also give the article a more interaction with its audience and bring more attraction towards it.

Film, animation and photography

Looking at the different photography based around the cambridge areas, I found a website named www.darknessandlight.co.uk. This website contains many different images that have been produced around the cambridge areas.

I also looked into 'The Picture House'. This provides the cambridge area with the new out coming films. Providing some of the best animated films, Picture House gives its audience a chance to view the films of there choice.

scene Project

Throughout the 'scene' project, I have collected a number of different resources of information. Te information I gathered gave me more interaction with what goes on around the cambridge area.

I have also created a page of the article, based on Fashions and Crafts. Along with this I am looking into creating a guide for the Creative and Media in cambridge. The article will include photos, interviews, maps and also information to tell the audience 'what's on'.

To improve on this overall project I feel that I could look into the information more and interact with the audience by adding more images to the project.

Research an artefact from the fitzwilliam museum

This artefact known as 'neck-amphora' was created from clay and and was descovered to be produced thoughout 490 B.C. A Berlin painter was recognised to have structured this piece of art. The vase heights at 0.476m and consumes a width of 0.276m.

The reason this artefact appealed to me was because looking at the picture it looks like a well structured piece of work, and consist of a great image decorated on the vase itself. I feel this artefact has a great intrest to me, as it consumes many different facts compared to the others I looked at. The image that has been placed in the centre of the vase also drew my attention towards the artefact, as it looks like it contains some sort of representional perpose.

Junction - 12th March

When we arrived at the junction we were individually set a task to complete a CV, which was organized throughout a set sheet given to us. We were asked to pick a specific job based around the Junction, the job I decided to write CV for was a General Bar Tender. After deciding what Job i had chosen, I looked into my reasons for choosing it and recorded them onto the CV.

After planning out our CV we were then divided into couples and were interviewed by different members of the Junction. Throughout the interviews we were asked a number of different questions, which were then answered in the best way possible. We were then inspected by the staff to see how our interview skills were. Each participant in the interview was also given the chance to ask them a number of questions about the chosen job.

After all the interviews had taken place, we were all based as a group and able to ask the different members of the Junction a number of questions about each of their jobs.

Questions for members of the Junctions:

-Was there any training needed before you started working within the Junction?

-What qualifications were need before you could work in the Junction?

-Did you in-role in any sort of training before working at the Junction?

Session 4

I looked into this website and noticed it represents a large number of different fashion industries. Cambridge online, shows its audience the different locations of shore and places to purchase different fashions and crafts. This website has been structured to show its viewers the different selections of fashion industries, branding from the more up-market values to the less popular fashions.

Session 3

Throughout this lesson we were set a task to create a number of postet notes, which were then presented on a wall allowing all members of the class to see what parts of the topic are being worked on. This gave the class more organisation and gave them a good understanding on who is working on the different sections of the newspaper.

Session 2-Initial ideas

Throughout the lesson on 2nd march, we were devided into three different groups. Each group was then set a task to complete a newspaper layout and present there ideas to the class. My group organised the layout into different sections and placed each chosen topics into different sections of the newspaper. Each chosen idea was placed into groups, which were then planned to be presented together. We also looked into a number of different titles that could represent the newspaper and would appeal to our target audience.

Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment

Risk assessments are used to provide people with information, securing that an area is safe and suitable.

Why do you think it is important to do a Risk assessment for outdoor performances?

Risk assessments allow people to know that there surroundings are safe for them and that no damage may be inflicted towards them. Risk assessments provide the safest possible outcome for each person that is participating in the performance that is taking place. I feel that a risk assessment is a good use of time as it gives each person the security they need and provides them with the safety they need in the place of performance. I agree that it is important for a risk assessment to take place for any outdoor performance as the environment can be easily changed due to unexpected circumstances.

What impact has it made to the project, changing the performance day because of the risk assessment?

I think that as the risk assessment delayed our performance date, it allowed us to prepare ourselves for the performance and to organize the costumes and performance details. Although the risk assessment meant that we would be a week behind schedule I felt that this become a benefit and gave us a clearer understanding on the performance. During the date on which our performance was meant to be held, we all participated in a dress rehearsal and therefore organized the way we would be performing.

Dress Rehearsals

During the dress rehearsal we sorted out each persons specific outfit and gave everybody a chance to try there outfit on. We also organized the positions of performance and placed each member of the group in the position of there musical instrument. Everybody is based in a specific order to give the musical instruments the best possible sound and allows the audience to enjoy the music to the best quality possible.

How did it go?

I felt that this dress rehearsal was a success and was a good way to plan for the performance in market square. It also gave most people in the group a good understanding of how the should be performing and the way they look during the performance on market square.

How did you feel in the outfits?

I felt that the outfits have been successfully made and are well presented to its target audience. They consist of a wide range of colours which i feel makes the outfits more appealing, the colours used also symbolize the culture of the music.

What would you add or change if you had more time?

If i was to re-create my outfit I would has ordered a number of different size's according each member of the group size. I would have also created a design idea to make the outfit suited to the campaign and used more products in the outfits.

Mask Production

Throughout the lesson on 2nd febuary 2010 our group created a mask design which will be used during the performance on market square. We as a group decided on a specific design which would then be printed onto the plain masks. Our design was painted onto the mask using a number of different colours which also represtented the colours of the Brazilian music Samba. Two different mask's were chosen by i group, one represented for the girls and one for the boys. Both mask have been created using a different design which therefore makes the visulisation of the mask's better for our target audience.

Samba Rehearsals

21st January 2010

During this Samba rehearsals we practiced different musical tunes as a group. We also decided on a rythme to perform. I feel that people should change instruments during the rehearsals to see what instrument may find the most enjoyable and are best at.

28th January 2010

During this rehearsal we all chose our specific instrument and practiced our performance. We also planned out the way we will be standing while performing in market square.

Alternatives

Because of different circumstances that could occur in the performance we have created a number of alternatives for the performance purposes:

Q. If it were to rain on our performance?

A. We would perform in the Grand Arcade instead.

Q. If somebody wasn't to turn up to the performance?

A. Somebody would have to change there instrument to fill in for the missing person.

Q. If the can with the musical instruments broke down what would happen?

A. We would have to find alternatives such as sorting out a different way for out instruments to be taken down to town.

Samba Video

I chose this video because I feel that is represents Samba well, and is based in the traditional way of performance. I feel that this shows the atmosphere of which the samba should be played in and shows the amazing outcome of how many people can be used in the music.

This video shows a large number of people performing the samba in a stadium, and many different types of musical instruments are being used to form a rhythm. Samba is a traditional form of creatin music throughout a different range of people and instruments. This video is showing a large quantity of people performing a samba band, but Samba can also be create from much fewer people and instruments. This video advertsing the fun in taking part in the mucical enviroment and shows and it also appeals the Samba to its viewers. As this video is showing a large number of people at a festival you can see the way in which the audience are enjoying the music from all the sreaming and cheering they are showing.

Poster Design

This poster has been designed to advertise my campaign for "Free music downloads". I used an image of a laptop because it is a huge appeal to the music industries and relates to the campaign i created.

Campaign day reflection

The planning of my campaign was to go around college searching for an audience that would be interested in my campaign. This idea was delayed because of the weather condition which only allowed me to get a small number of signatures for the petition plan.

Although the weather disturbed the number of signatures i collected, i felt that i had achieved an average amount of signatures in comparison with other candidates in my class. Because of the weather conditions my plan to advertise the campaign changed, although this happened i tried to provide the best possible outcome of it. The positioning of my advertising changes and was set inside the college as there were a small number of people outside because of the weather.

When i later look at my petition, i will be recording the result and finding out if it has been a successful campaign, i will also use comparisons between other campaigns that have been created.

Plan for todays campaigning

1. The overall plan for todays lesson is to produce a petition for my specific campaign "Free music downloads". I will be locating myself around the college grounds, asking a number of people if they agree with my campaign and will join it. This process will take roughly around an hour and a half, in this time i will be explaining to people the reasons for joining my campaign and the benefits it would have on them.

2. Throughout the advertising of my campaign i will be using leaflets, poster and will also be discussing the campaign to them in person. These method will be used to attract my target audience and will give them more interest about the campaign.

3. To make today successful i feel that i will have to get around 10 to 15 petitions, this will give me a good number of people to join the petition and will give the campaign a good attraction for other people that are interested.
