UK Calendar Club

The Brief
The brief that i was given was that i needed to create a Calendar for the UK Calendar Club and i had the choice to do it for the four seasons and school life in Bolton. I have chosen to do four seasons and have used images that i have gotten and images of Bolton from the internet.

The processes that i have done is that i have created a mind map. The mind map contains different sub section of all of the seasons and i have added annotations for all of them which include snow, ice covered lakes for winter and for spring it is sunflowers and bright suns for autumn its dead trees and multicolored leaves and for summer there is sun and bright green grass.

This is evidence that i have finished the winter month and have finished all others in this category. I have created this using word and have created the calendar using tables and then adding and changing it to suit the calendar

I have created this with word and have used columns to create the calendar and have used images from Bolton in spring from Google to create this.

I have created this using word and have used columns to create the numbers on the calendar and have used images from Bolton town center.

In have created this in word and have used the columns to create the numbers on the calendar and this picture was taken in the west of Bolton during September.

Visualisation Diagram

What are Visualization Diagrams?
Visualization is any technique for creating images, diagrams, or animations to communicate a message. Visualization through visual imagery has been an effective way to communicate both abstract and concrete ideas since the dawn of humanity.


This is what planning for a website banner looks like

I will annotate the man to whenever you hover on one on his hands then it will come out with the prices and if you click it then it will direct you to that product. This will make finding things easy and if you click on the title then you will be directed to the main home page of the website this is good because it adds lots of interaction to the page.

Story Board

What is a Story Board?
This video shows the basics on how to create a story board, this video tells you how to create a storyboard and how to input arrows to show movement with the characters and camera. When making a story board you need to think about where your characters are standing and don't be discouraged to draw or make more than one scene to emphasize  what you want to display in your final film. On a storyboard goes lots of scene pictures which can be drawn or drawn online if your not good at drawing. They have little descriptions on them to explain what the character is doing so it is easier to understand.


This is a storyboard that took me 20 mins to create it shows in less detail the characters, the setting and dialogue which would happen in less detail. I created this on a website called Storyboardthat.com which is free to use with three squares and you can create a small simple and easy storyboard. You can also use Storyboarder which is a lot more in depth and is a lot better for realistic storyboard. It takes more skill then Storyboardthat.com.

What is a Script

What is a Script?
A screenplay or script, is a written work by screenwriters for a film, television program or video game. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. The purpose of a script is to give distinct actions and places so actors can know how to act in what scenes.

Example of a Script 

•       As you read use the highlighter to show which parts of the text are speech and which are sound effects. 

•       Use a different color for each person who speaks.

•       Where the scene is set using descriptive language, think how you could use music or sound effects to create the same atmosphere.

The windscreen wipers slapped on the screen in time to the upbeat music on the car stereo.  Mum switched it off in frustration as she sat at the traffic lights.

“I don’t know why you had to take so long, I waited half an hour!” she said sharply.  Naomi sighed.  “They didn’t have my size on the shelf, and the woman took ages searching in the stock room.”

“We wouldn’t have got stuck in all this traffic if you’d just made your mind up quicker.  We won’t be eating tea until late at this rate. (Int Car Evening)

Today of all days!” Mum retorted.  She was tired and hungry and it had been a long day.

“What’s wrong with the mobile phone I spent a fortune on?  You could have called me.  I wouldn’t have rushed away from work to get there if you’d called”.  Mum wasn’t giving up her bad mood any time soon.

“I forgot to charge it, the battery’s dead,” Naomi answered.  “More like you wasted it playing stupid games!” Mum retorted.  “Sorry”, Naomi said quietly.  She looked through the window at the lights reflecting off the puddles.  The car accelerated away and sped out of town.

It was turning stormy, and the wind whipped up the leaves, throwing them against the car as the rain drummed on the roof.  They turned into the driveway of the old vicarage and Mum pulled on the handbrake.  “Oh, that’s just brilliant!” she muttered sarcastically.  “No lights on.  It must be a power cut.  How am I going to cook with no electricity?”  She slammed the car door shut and hurried up the drive as the clock stuck six in the tower of the church next door.

Mum fumbled with the door keys in the pitch blackness, then opened the front door.  Naomi splashed in behind her and they shut out the wind and rain, gasping for breath.

“Maybe we can have a sandwich?” Naomi suggested. “I’ll make it if you like.”  “Ssh!” Mum said sharply.  “Did you hear that?”  “What?” answered Naomi. “Stop it, you’re freaking me out.  You know I’ve always thought this house is haunted.”  “I’m sure I heard something in the living room,” Mum whispered.  “Pass me that brolly, I’m going to have a look”.

Slowly, Mum tiptoed to the door.  She turned the handle, and with a squeak, opened the door.

“Surprise!” came the shout.  The lights snapped on and revealed Dad, Naomi’s brother Paul and a group of friends, squashed in to the room.  Party poppers were set off, and a huge laugh came from the room at Mum’s shocked response.

“Happy Birthday, Mum!” Naomi said cheerfully. “Sorry about the trick, but I had to keep you out of the house ‘til everyone got here!”

This is My Script 

You can see that i have added

It was turning stormy, and the wind whipped up the leaves, throwing them against the car as the rain drummed on the roof.  They turned into the driveway of the old vicarage and Mum pulled on the handbrake.  Oh, that’s just brilliant! No lights on.  It must be a power cut.  How am I going to cook with no electricity?  She slammed the car door shut and hurried up the drive as the clock stuck six in the tower of the church next door.  (Mum Annoyed)

Mum fumbled with the door keys in the pitch blackness, then opened the front door.  Naomi splashed in behind her and they shut out the wind and rain, gasping for breath.

Maybe we can have a sandwich? I’ll make it if you like.  Ssh! Did you hear that?  What? Stop it, you’re freaking me out.  You know I’ve always thought this house is haunted. I’m sure I heard something in the living room,Pass me that brolly, I’m going to have a look.    (Naomi Calm and later on scared)  (Mum intrigued)

                              

Slowly, Mum tiptoed to the door.  She turned the handle, and with a squeak, opened the door.

Surprise! came the shout.  The lights snapped on and revealed Dad, Naomi’s brother Paul and a group of friends, squashed in to the room.  Party poppers were set off, and a huge laugh came from the room at Mum’s shocked response. (Crowd Happy, Laughing)  

Happy Birthday, Mum! Naomi said cheerfully. Sorry about the trick, but I had to keep you out of the house ‘til everyone got here!

(Naomi Happy, Smiling)

Key:
Mum
Naomi
Crowd
All of the color represent different characters and the bright blue is the sound effects. This is good as it shows where they are and who is speaking the things said in brackets say which characters have different emotions and it tells the actors and actresses how they are suppose to act in the play and the ones without any highlighter is where they are and if there inside or outside and the setting.

Wire Frame

What is a Wire Frame?
A website wire frame is where you can do a sort of blueprint where you usually draw the layout of a future website with boxes which are labelled with key words like pictures and text box and might have a key word which might be what its about for example fossils if it is going to be about dinosaurs and picture of T-Rex.


Advantages 

• It shows where everything is so that you can see and do it easier.
• Takes less time than doing it all from scratch.

Disadvantages

• It takes longer 
• Might not work when trying to put it in a website so the work you did is irrelevant          

This is an example of a wire frame it is easy to do and is very important when in the works to make a website layout.

My Mindmap.

This is the Mind map I did it contains all the typical features of a mind map and will tell you little key words about a specific topic and is really easy to do.

What is a Mind Map?

A mind map is used in many different ways including collecting information and making quick notes to put something on paper easily. The good thing of a mind map is that there is different sub sections where u can put different topics for example the main focus of the mind map is computer games but there is a sub heading that shows FPS (First Person Shooter) this then will be a section in what makes an FPS but its all still around the same theme of games.

 
This video talks about how there is a starting theme and there are braches that radiate from the starting topic which talk about it in depth and can be used to remember things just by using short words or phrases but they can be used with pictures as well mind maps are a bank of information that is infinite in possibilities.

Audiences

Demographics is where you can categorise different types of people for example age, race, religion and many other categories. It is good when trying to target a specific audience for different product for example ages 9-14 would want small gadgets like apple watches and fit bits



Psychographics are the study and classification of people according to their attitudes, aspirations and other psychological criteria, especially in market research.


Uses and Gratifications is where people do for certain types of media like people could go for media that has contrasting colours on them like the Nike website which uses black and white to get the attention of different types of people who are simple and like to where simple but good looking products.










My moodboard makes me a mainstreamer because I use and buy what is present at todays time for example I use snap chat and eat at present restaurants that would make me blend in with everyone. I am what most people in todays era would be because they don't want to be seen as different.

Mood Board Using Photoshop

Advantages

The advantages of Photoshop is that u can rotate, cut and put different photos on top of each other like I have done with the snap chat5 logo and the funny glasses, you can also add borders to your photos with different colours like I have done with the Bella Italia logo.

Disadvantages

There aren't many disadvantages of using Photoshop rather than word but the main one is time. If you want to make a quick and easy mood board.

Moodboard Using Word

Advantages
Easy to use
Easy to move images
Easy to import images
Easy to resize images

Disadvantages
Hard to position the images as they move
Cant get rid of the background
Doesn't look very professional

                                                             
  Word is a software mostly made made for typing and not made for many photos like i have done and after a few photos becomes difficult because it starts to overlap all other photos and takes more time to do simple things which Photoshop does instantly without any command or button.
