What We're Doing Today

Today Beth, Laura, Ross, Ryan, Freddie and I are each designing a poster or leaflet for the RSPCA charity. When we are all finished we will pick the best one to represent our poster. Beth's poster is encouraging people to volunteer at the shop, in Laura's leaflet shes trying to think of a convincing slogan which would make you stop and read the leaflet, and Ross, Freddie and Ryan are trying to find pictures of sad animals to go in the centre of the poster/leaflet.

Open 12.10.10

Last Tuesday we went to the Open Music Venue in Norwich for a Media Industries careers Convention! We listened to speakers on Music, Dance, Performance, Graphic Design and Animation. I found the music speech the best because they reassured me that there are lots of places you will be able to play at gigs or concerts and i knew that it would help me. The task for the day was to ask at least one question to one of the key speakers so, firstly, I spoke to Sophie Little. Sophie is the lead singer of the rock group "The Brownies". She gave me some really useful advice on how to start a band, and i gave my email to her so that she could contact me further so i could get more information. I also liked the speech on acting so when  it came to the one to one speaking, i spoke to Reece Ritchie. Reece is an actor and has played roles in 10,000 BC and The Lovely Bones. He, and the other actors, inspired me to look for auditions in Norwich. The last people I spoke to were the animators; they were really funny, but had some good tips on how to make animated films.

Over all i enjoyed the day very much and it has inspired me to got out and look for more opportunities :)

What we've done today

Today we visited the RSPCA charity shop, and the Hemstock's Jewellery store. We interviewed a few people on the thoughts and views on both the shops and we will be uploading them next lesson. At the moment we are making posters, leaflets and flyers for the RSPCA. We will be spreading them around the school and handing out the flyers to people, so we can spreaqd the awareness of the business.

RSPCA Interview

Today we visited the RSPCA Charity shop in Wymondham to discuss our campaign project. When we talked to the volunteers at the RSPCA charity shop, they said that the storage room in the back was full of clothes and donations that could not be sold because of there poor quality, so improving the quality of their donations would be very helpful. They also said that they would need more volunteers in their shop, because there isn't enough people to sort through the donations. We would like to help the RSPCA charity shop by spreading the awareness of the shop (where it is and what things could be donated). Our campaign is aimed at all ages, as we want to collect a variety of clothes for different ages.
