Carousel week 3/ week 4

Task:
This week we worked with photography and was assigned a task to take photos whilst having changed the default settings. To start off with we were taught the parts of the camera and the basics of a camera so those who didn't know would be up to speed with the rest. We were then given a demonstration of how to take photos with a different shutter speed and were also shown what it might look like. After the demonstration we split up and took photos of our own around the college trying to display the difference with the pictures. Later on we were given another demonstration however this was based on aperture which would sharpen the image. When we were given a demonstration on how to use this feature and change the settings we were put in the same groups and split up around the college taking more photos and a second with it to show the difference.

Skills and tools:
During these tasks I think I developed imagination, communication and general knowledge of a camera. I have developed imagination shown by finding creative spots to take pictures of. Communication was developed throughout the task as we would need to talk to each other concerning these pictures. Finally my general knowledge of a camera has improved due to the fact we were given demonstrations before using the camera. To improve these further than I already have I think I need to get more opportunities to use this equipment and do this activity again. I also think it would be an idea to do this activity off of campus to have a better opportunity to use our imagination. I think if I could do anything different about this week it would to be communicate more so that we can get more photos taken as I did have many ideas. For this week we used cameras and computers I think I have developed in terms of the camera but not the computer as I am already very confident with it.

College TV

Date: 31/10/17 Today I worked on ideas about college TV this had to based about news with the theme of new years. So for this I have successfully made 3 ideas/ mind maps for this. The first idea consisted of reflection as so much has happened in the past year. This links to the idea of new years as it links to the past and reflecting on what we have done. In this I mentioned how some things should be presented and deeper meanings within simple aspects. For the second idea it involved change this idea occurred as many people make new years resolutions to try and follow. This showed more of an idea of mystery as we do not know what is to come. The final idea was about being festive this is because it involved more of a cultural and diverse look on how people celebrate and it allows the audience to interpret the piece how they want to. I think that the main problem was being able to continuously create unique ideas as I had only though of 1 originally. I was able to overcome this probl

Carousel week 4/ week 5

Process and Methods: This week we worked with fashion which involved design and creation. For the first part we had to experiment with how colour on paper would look on fabric. For this we worked with colours red, blue, black, green, yellow and orange. We painted these colours onto paper in the shape of squares and used a machine to put them onto fabric. When we undergoed this process we noticed that the colours would appear a lot brighter than it was on the paper this helped us later on. Next we were asked to make a design to colour in and put on a fabric. To start off I drew my design onto a small piece of A5 paper to later recreate onto A3 and paint in to make the design more bold. Once I finished my design I remade it onto A3 and later used the paints to colour the page. Sadly the overall product did not come out as I expected.  The next task after our break was to create a dress using recycablle materials such as plastic bags and pins. Throughout this task I struggled to compr
