U1A Gallery Ideas

Today I visited both the National portrait gallery (Irving Penn) and the Photographers Gallery (Deutsch Borse Photography prize 2010.

Both galleys where very good and the images were amazing and I hope to do a full write up for section 1c by the end of April.

I have allays said that I wanted to create and learn about a new art form which could go along alongside my photography After visiting the two galleys I have decided on Graphic Design and to create a leaflet to go with my work and perhaps it could be for exhibition at college later in the year where I hope some of my AS photography will be shown. I am going to up load the leaflets I have and the possible software I know is used for the type of work In-design.

U1B Ravensbourne

On Arrival we was briefed on what was going to happen. We was than split into 4 groups to cover all areas of production. Then we would make a TV news show, after we would all watch it back. After this there would be a question and answer session from the course leader about was was on offer and how to apply.

I was in the studio group and assign the role of vision mixer (live editing). The idea of the day was to give an insight into a day of a Ravensbourne student.

However due to equipment failing, news items could not be filmed until later in the day. When it came to the live news show there was no pre recorded features and the interview had to go first so it was filmed back to front with no audio for example headline audio.

Due to delays in the production this took all day and there was no de-brief or anything about the courses. But it was said if you wanted to get on a similar course you would need to be extra media actives outside of college.

For the arts award this was not a brilliant view in career and training but did give an insight onto the tv production course.

U1B Guest Speaker at Local Movie Club

Guest Speaker at Local Movie Club

A few months ago I was approached by a member of the Eastbourne Movie-Makers, to addend one of their meeting as a guest speaker about my film "What Happens When You Call 999?". The member contacted me after reading an article in the local newspaper, about the film being screened during the Co-operative Young Filmmakers Festival at the National Media Museum in Bradford.

So I went to one of their meeting on Wednesday 3rd March 2010. At the meeting the member introduced me, than I introduced the film which was watched by all the members. After the film I talked about how the film came about (the silver arts award and what that was), how I got the access I did and how long it took and the produce of ok'ing the film with the Fire Service. I than answered questions from them about how I made and edited the film for example the use of shots, sound and editing techniques e.g. the split screen and the effect of this. They also asked me what was happen to the film now and what I am doing. I than join the group for that evening's topic which was the members asking question to a member with experience for help in film making, I helped to answer the questions!
