Spider diagram for our directors role
this is a spider diagram for our directors role that we did with lauren in our understanding of the creative media sector. runners in film
runners in film.
most runners start off in the production office, the must prove them selfs to the production managers before they get promated and start going up the production chain. floor runner can open doors to a directing carrer route and establish connections to other departments.
starting off as a runner in smaller companies means theres fewer openings for runners as they are low budget productions, so with bigger companies theres more chance landing a place.
shorter productions means runners get a better oppertunity to work at every stage of production.
we had to do a job description of what we wanted to do in our pairs, me and matt both decided to choose director role, so we had to talk about key skills and other routes to becoming a director.

confession editing review
we got put into distinctive groups were we had to collaborate in our three's to edit our confessions and make a final piece for the production which will be viewed in a confessional booth in the next week or so by others. our work was similar to Gillian wearings as we had used Gillian wearing for our research and watched her confession videos for example, Gillian Wearing has extracted terrible confessions and sexual secrets from her subjects. So why does the artist keep hiding behind masks, the reason of to why that is is because what they confessed was all lies thats why here video was called secret and lies, so people didn't no if they were telling the truth or not, that was the main reason behind the mask's.
i personally thought it would be a good idea if we edit our videos to a high spec so you could not recognise who the people confession were as we never knew if they were being honest or lieing so we incorporated the work used by Gillian wearing into our production such as she gave the poeple who were doing the conffessions a mask we edited ours after and basically made them unidentifiable with the use of effect.
i think i worked well and also collaborated with my group members and finished our edit to a high standard. i personally think that i could of done better and been more enthusiastic about my edit and made it better, but i also recognised what i did to a high standard and i will elaborate more on my work in the future.
we made two edits but the first one was better so we just elaborated on that one, and made it o a higher standard before completion.

confessional booth
friday 25th january 2013
personal confession,
in our class we split our selfs into 2 distinct groups, but we had to collaborate together as in one big group. our confessions had to be true. one group said there confessions whilst the other group filmed then we rotard around. my confession was real, "my confession is at school in an english lesson i made a paper ball and threw it at my english teacher, and he turned around at the guy next to me and went mad "i seen you danny i seen you with my own eyes" you cant of done i never even threw it. "danny i seen you get to the office" i was laughing my head off for about a week. my roles consisted of camera 3 were id had great experience previously as i had used camera 3 in band work. i also directed and vision mixed in a few of the confessions I'm a great team leader when i take charge and inform my group formally of what we have to achieve and complete and take the lead the work gets done. I've had great experience at directing and vision mixing previously with use on the bands and also own production that we had done in the studio similar to the confessional work.
next friday this work has to be edited and put into a video to be viewed in a gallery.
for our editing we use adobe premier,

Gillian wearing was well known for, sign pictures, she got certain members of the public and asked them to wrtie on a card what they wanted, she asked a police officer, a business man in a suit who was belived to have got out of a prsche and his sign said "im desperate".
Her first New York solo exhibition since 2003, Gillian Wearing presented a wide range of tremendously engaging recent photo-based portraiture. Most conceptually concise are big black-and-white photographs (2008-10) of the artist lurking nearly invisibly behind hyperrealist masks of famous artists in landmark photos: Andy Warhol showing off his scars; Robert Mapplethorpe clutching a skull-headed cane; Diane Arbus with a camera around her neck. The impersonations are revealed around the eyes, which are cut out so Wearing can stare through, a profoundly eerie effect she has worked with for several years.
It also appears in a nearly hour-long video, Secrets and Lies (2009), which features men and women who answered Wearing's ad asking for subjects willing to confide to her camera. Screened in a small booth, their monologues, ranging from a few minutes to more than 20, are rich with lurid drama, including murder, incest and voluntary (but truly weird) sexual transgression. All wear lifelike but identity-concealing masks, cut out around mouths as well as eyes, so we see their darting glances and, hypnotically, their moving lips, never quite synced with the recorded narratives. The truth of their stories is of course impossible to judge; in any case, the point, as always with Wearing, is to determine whether the interposing layer of art-the masks, the costumes (a red hoodie for an abused child turned reformed homicidal thug; a flowered housecoat for a middle-aged mother turned sex-club swinger)-makes the stories more or less sympathetic, or disturbing, or credible.
Other work dispenses with masks but retains, in various ways, the displacements they offer. A group of seven video loops shown on flat screens, framed like photographs and called Snapshots (2005), presents the seven stages of life, female version. It starts with a young girl with an enormous bow in her hair playing the violin (speakers project her ostensible performance) and proceeds to an awkward adolescent, a sultry young woman, a beatific new mother with an infant in her lap and finally an older woman half-dozing in an upholstered armchair. (An audio recording provides, via headphones, the melancholy monologue of a self-described pensioner, whom we presume-erroneously, as it happens-to be this last video's subject.) The actresses move only enough to heighten the sense of constraint imposed by the frames-and by the conventions in which they're so tightly trapped.
The enormously powerful Bully (2010) is a compact 8-minute video. Nine gifted actors engage in an improvisational exercise about bullying, with one playing the director, who tells the others that they're reenacting an incident from his own life in which he was the victim. At the end, in tears but also terrifyingly enraged, he accuses the actors of letting him down. Sheepishly, they apologize. It is nearly impossible to keep straight the roles of actor and director, victim and perpetrators.
Rounding out the show were a large black-and-white still photograph of a monstrously abundant floral bouquet (People, 2011) and two pint-size, naturalistic bronze monuments, with text plaques, dedicated to unsung heroes, one a 9/11 survivor (Terri, 2011) and the other an undercover police cadet (Gervais, 2010). Their disguise, Wearing seems to say, is their ordinariness.

confesional art
Confessional Art
Confessional art is a form of contemporary art that focuses on an intentional revelation of the private self. Confessional art encourages an intimate analysis of the artist's, artist's subjects’, or spectator's confidential, and often controversial, experiences and emotions. Confessional art emerged in the late 20th century, especially in Great Britain, and is closely associated with autobiographical visual arts and literature. The term confessional art was first defined by Outi Remes in The Role of Confession in Late Twentieth Century British Art , which discusses confessional art as a serious, consistent mode for producing art that mimics, reconsiders, and departs from the traditional modes of confession used in the Roman Catholic tradition, autobiographical literature, and psychoanalysis. In defining confessional art, autobiographical literature provides a helpful comparison. Sidonie Smith and Julia Watson, in Reading Autobiography: A Guide for Interpreting Life Narratives , distinguish between life writing, life narrative, and autobiography.

Anusol Advert evaluation
Friday 19th April
We was told to choose our own groups and then Jamie was going to set us a task which we had to complete by collaborating together in our distinctive group. In the process of choosing our groups me and Matt decided to work together the usually two, then we brought in Chris and max and that was our group us 4.
The task set by jamie was that we had to make a short advert which would be used in television for selling and promoting a certain brand or item, We was given the option whether we would like to choose our own product or Jamie and graham choose everyone's product and signify each group with a certain product. As a whole we decided it would be best if they chose each groups product that way would just focus on the chosen subject instead of going through multiple products which would just take up more of our time in the process of the work.
Jamie and graham went through the groups and gave everyone a product, our group was given anusol which was a pile and hemeroid cream, we had to make an advert which would sell the brand. Given us the anusol was really a treat as they thought they had set us a hard product we personally thought it wouldn't be much different to anything else. As matts friend Kyle previously has had piles we wheeled him in to act in our advert as we thought he could express himself to a high standard as he had been through the stages and felt the pain and agony that piles put you through.
We then quickly jotted up our idea and had a pitch for our advertisement. In our group we went through different ideas which we thought would work and seemed relevant to our product.
In our group we got Matt to film some footage at home with Kyle, the footage consisted of Kyle waking up running to the toilet were then he would sit in agony and then quickly get dressed for work and spill his bru drop his toast and also rush to work on his bike missing two busses on his way, arriving late to work and getting a telling off by his boss then on his way out of the office his boss chucks the anusol cream at him and then as Kyle picks it up the footage goes into colour as the past footage before he picks the cream up is going to be in black and white, which makes it look like he's having a bad day and he can't cope with the pain and agony he's going through and then when the cream hits him it goes in colour which basically brings the moral of the story to say that he's day has lit up and from there on things are going to change, he's not going to suffer in pain and agony the cream will cure his piles or hemeroids.
After we had filmed that footage we then asked Aeman if we could use him in our advert as the boss as we thought we would fit the scene perfectly as he's always a late comer we thought that him telling some one else off for arriving late would be funny and bring some slight humour into our advert.
We got the footage from Brian and in our group went to speak to Andy piper who said we could use his office for to film our scene of Kyle at work arriving late and Aeman calling him into the office. We filmed the footage up stairs and then went to brain who uploaded all of our footage to the adobe premiere editing suit.
After the holidays we then edited our advert and put the footage together on the sequence to the standard that we had previously planned and the clip worked a treat. After all the editing and use of effects to speed clips up and also black and white for some clips we then added some instrumental music to our timeline which topped our advert off, we got Jamie to come and have a look at our advert but he said it was too long as good as it was it needed to be shortened we then took certain clips out and sped others up to get our footage cut to a shorter copy and we thought it was just as good Brian then came to have a look at the shortened edition and said it was good then Brian exported the footage and we had finished.
I thought that we had all worked to a high standard and in our group completed the work to a high standard which we thought was suitable for our ability, in the process we then through stages were we had to look at certain parts of the footage over before finally agreeing it looked good and was a good piece of footage. The editing part of the work is the best part as you can cover up certain errors made in the filming process of the work. In a whole I think our work was good and we could of done better if he had then filmed some parts over and gone back to Kyle's house.

professional development exist 2013
Fatbardh krasniqi
I enjoyed media from school, in year 10 we started doing
expressive arts which was similar to media, when I arrived at college I started
off on a level 2 media. I was influenced into taking part in media by my
expressive arts teacher at school Mrs hall, she was on Holly-oaks and I enjoyed
her lessons and the work that consisted in the process of her lessons so I followed
up the course when I came to college, now I’m currently on my second year on
the level 3 in media. I enjoy the course immaculately and I love the practical
parts of the course, not too keen on the theory part but it has to be done
otherwise I wouldn't have any evidence for my practical work.
I’m looking forward to progressing onto Jamie Holman’s
foundation course and I think I have learnt a lot from past experience’s that I
will take forward and gain more strength on in the years to come. After the
foundation course I want to go to university to do media and hopefully get a
full time job in the media industry, and share my experiences that I have taken
on board from the staff at Blackburn college, Jamie, brain and graham have a
lot of experience and knowledge in the media sector and I’m taking on board all
of the stuff learnt from the staff so I can incorporate all of my advantages
into my own work when I progress on to foundation and what I do next is all
down to my hard work and possibilities which will come from progressing onto
the foundation course.
I have great advantages when it comes down to practical work
in the media section, my editing is to a high standard and I have learnt how to
use adobe premiere to a high standard including all the short cuts and easy access
off the tools need to edit. Adobe
Premiere Pro is a timeline-based video editing software application. It is part
of the Adobe Creative Suite, a suite of graphic design, video editing and web
development programs. My camera work is all so to a high standard due to all of
the studio time we have been given through bands and other filming experiences
from Jamie. I reckon I would be a great director as I can take charge and
encourage my group into collaborating together to produce work to a professional
standard.
My only weakness is a lack of effort in my theory but if I get my
head down I will produce a great amount of theory work to back up my production
and practical work. Monday afternoons with lee are a great advantage of completing
theory work and also other task set by lee. I will incorporate the techniques
learnt by lee into my work in the future.
I've had a few minor incidents previously on the first year but I've learnt from past experiences and I have put my head down to achieve to the best
of my ability hard work pays off; it was just a lack of effort.
On the foundation course I will up my game as I know I want to
progress on to university so I need to really focus on my goals and targets set
by myself and all so my teaching staff and group members.
