Exploring a Career 20/01/2016 1.1

 1.1 Outline key services of information


One of the places you could use for services and information is universities
where you could study different courses and make friends who have lots of ideas they can share

Another way to get information would be to volunteer  somewhere like a hospital radio station where you could learn how things work in the industry and pick up hands on experience while you help.

                                       





Here is another way to get information, to experience jobs and get to see the studios .ITV production jobs range from graphic designers to editors by visiting the websites where you can get information and then visit the site on open days where you can make contact and ask for information or apply for jobs.

One of the best ways to get information is from friends because they have lots of different ideas and contacts that they share also they could have family or parents who are very supportive and it could be a long working partnership

         

Music For Performance Task 1a 1b 8 / 1 / 2016

Today we are looking at how music changes the mood or the atmosphere. The first clip we looked at was the baby dancing group which was an Evan Advert. The film was weird because there were children dancing to adult music with baby faces. Also it's kind of funny and it looks like the children are enjoying themselves in the trailer. The music helps to make it stand out, also it keeps me interested.

Here is the link to the youtube video

The next clip we looked at was Alien 3 and it's kind of a scary jumpy movie to watch. The mood is very terrifying which is created with help from the music. It starts as a slow tempo, quiet piece of music and it slowly gets louder so it gets more and more scary. All the instruments are real, this makes the soundtrack sound bigger and I think this adds to the tension.

Charlie Chaplin

The first thing you notice is that there is only music in this film there is no other sound. There's  no talking but every time Charlie moves in the film there's an instrument a violin which plays every time he walks, if he does something sudden there is a loud musical stab that makes you jump. The lion had a trombone sound so it made the lion seem powerful and added tension at the end, i thought it was a bit weird because he took a long time to get out of the cage time even though the women opened the cage for him. But i thought it was quite funny and enjoyed it the music kept me interested and put me in a good mood.

This is a link to the movie

At the start of the film there is the sound of bells and children with music quietly in the background which is slowly getting louder this make you feel nervous , also what i like about this film is that there are lots of sounds  playing with the music which is like Opera, when the helicopters come it sounds like there is war going on with the army and big guns shooting bombs, the mood of the music becomes very victorious. The vibe is very strong and tense and it looks like the soldiers in the helicopters are going to win because the  music makes them seem very powerful

Teamwork skills 9th December 2015

Today we are having a group discussion about the Christmas party here is the list what we identified the goals my contribution is in a black pen.

Here is a list of ways of coming to a decision one way is to have to do a raffle to try vote on someone

the other way is to do a debate on it 

or to try drawing straws.  

CHRISTMAS DINNR MENU

CHRISTMAS DINNER MENU

As a team we decided on a menu for our Christmas party,  then each individual designed a menu for us to vote on which one we wanted to use for the  

party this was one way of making a group decision 

here is my menu

I think it was a success because we achieved our aims to organize our Christmas dinner which we enjoyed.

Each of us had to design our own Christmas Menu and also we had to wear our Christmas jumpers.

As a group we decided to support a children's charity,before we collected anything we had to vote then go around the building and ask people to donate money we made a good handful of money £38.

What was successful was we manage the raised £38 money for charity 

The Christmas party was good fun and we all had the meal we wanted

What wasn't successful was we ran out time when it came to voting for the best menu as we didn't finish the design soon enough but we had a quick vote with all the learners and staff and i was the winner , i won some sweets  

Sound and Audio Production skills Task 3 20 11 15

Today i have used Logic Pro to create a short song .I decided that i would experiment with different sounds until i found a sound that i liked the sounds i used were Hip Hop drum kit ,the piano and strings.
I first got my drum beat using hip hop drum kit then i just jammed with different ideas until i got a tune that i liked. While i was working i had to make sure that i followed health and safety guidelines by making sure that headphones were not too loud, don't stare at the screen for too long or food or drinks were allowed where i was working



Here is a screen shot of my arrangement and MP3

What went well with my audio production is when i was working independently and finding the sounds what i liked using the software instruments also being creative with melodies and rhythm.

What i need to improve in my work is to keep practising and do even more tunes in logic 

Also what i need to improve my work is practise with logic pro some more production skills
