overall evaluation

In my opinion this unit has been successful because we have got to work with a real client and got an experience of what a real project would be like in the media industry it was really intense but i am not complaining at this because that is what it will be like in the media industry after i finish college in a years time.I liked that we got to visit Mind in Rochdale because I and the rest of the group got a chance to learn about the charity and all about people who have mental health.We all struggled at first with the filming and how to set the advert but we soon got over this.I have no problems with the people in my group as we worked well together and there was no problems between us there was three of us in the group Kausar who's advert was Rain and myself. The idea was about this lad walking down the street and people following him down the street relating to different mental health problems overall i thought this was a well worked idea and was well thought out.The editing process was pretty quick i struggled with it at first but i manged to get the hang of it Kausar had to help me with it but i did it eventually when we feedback to the class i found out i had to change the music and the pace which i did. After we properly finished it we had session in the theater where we had a screening with the mind charity and everyone was pleased with our work what we did.On June 19th we have a screening in Rochdale with the mind charity some celebrity's and the press.Overall this unit has been an eye opener on the goings on in the media industry and the pressure everyone is under

lesson 8

lesson 8 was when we found out who got chosen my idea didn't get chosen and i was put in a group with kausar and rain and when we got put in our groups we got set straight away on kausars pre production work for his advert there was a bit of confusion at first with what kausars idea was but in the end we picked up what it was. i was tasked with the location recce and risk assement which i completed within a day of being tasked with it infact our group finished all our pre production work within a week although we did have to improve our work a few times when our Teacher Richard asked us to improve it to make sure all of the work was of high class standard.

Lesson 7

Lesson 7 was our pitch day i had a problem as i lost my powerpoint up to and i had to start all over again in the morning luckily i managed to finish it again before the pitch during the pitch i was very nervous and kept stuttering my words up but i managed to pull through it and complete a succesfull presentation to the client and get my idea across

lesson 6

as the 6th lesson was a week before our pitch we focused on our powerpoint presentation for our advert as i was nearly finished i didnt have much to do so i started to focus on my preproduction work for the unit and i managed to complete that when i was at home and seeing as i had finished my powerpoint i started to revise what i was going to say to the client in my pitch and i made small que cards at home so i could learn off them for the pitch

lesson 5

In the 5th lesson Richard took us on a trip to Rochdale to visit the mind charity the first place we visited was the mind cafe at the local walk in clinic where john had a talk with us about what would happen during the day after we had visited the cafe we walked through Rochdale town center and stopped out mind rochdales office where john explained to us what went on there after that we carried on walking to where they do all clubs and where you can do various stuff such as playing the drums or art and john had a talk with us about the building after this we went to the alotment where the charity and its users grown there own fruit and veg and whilst we were there we had a talk with some of the staff there and some of the users aswell about what kinfd of stuff the grow and how the gardens are used after we finished at the alotment we went back to where they do all the clubs and activitys for a talk and a coffee after we had a talk on the day we then walked back to the cafe for something to eat before we went home

Lesson 4

In lesson 4 we started work on our powerpoint and we were told it had to be no more then 8 slides i was nervous about this as on my music video presentation i didnt have enough information or slides as i didnt follow the brief but i was determined to follow the brief this time as this was a very important client that we were working for and i didn't want to let the client or the college down in anyway by not doing enough research for the presentation and another reason was because my idea had never been picked before and i wanted to change that and finaly do well in a unit

lesson 3

In lesson 3 John swallow who works for mind Rochdale came in to talk to us about the unit and help us gain some more ideas for our advert he said that he wanted the adverts to be 20-35 seconds long we asked john loads of questions on the charity he also said that he wanted the adverts to send a message to people that no matter what you are never alone if you have a mental i think this talk helped us because we was all struggling with our ideas for the advert and with john answering our questions it gave us an insight in to how he advert should look and what should be in it.
