Eight Shot Journey
We were asked to create a short film showing a persons journey from one place to another using only eight shots.
We started by writing down ideas about location and what the journey would actually involve, also including type of shot and time length.
Once taking all the shots i then had to use final cut pro to edit and burn it to DVD.
We started by writing down ideas about location and what the journey would actually involve, also including type of shot and time length.
Then we went out with cameras to see if the locations we had all thought of were suitable for shooting and to find angles and places to film from.
Once we had done this we were aloud to strip out tapes, this is where you leave the camera lens on and record the blank screen for 15 minutes this makes filming and editing easier. Then we were aloud to go out and film our actual 8 shot journeys. I filmed a man running and jumping over objects in order to get to his final destination on time.
Once taking all the shots i then had to use final cut pro to edit and burn it to DVD.
The final project can be seen below;

Examples of Radio Jingles
Radio 1- For young people, presented by young fresh new talent
Jingles use upbeat modern sounds
Lots of talking and latest music
BBC Radio 2 – Older presenters
More matured radio station
Music from early 90’s and fresh unsigned acts
Radio Jingle Codes and Conventions
- speech ahs to be articulate and give the correct information
- Sound effects and information included has to be relevant to the chosen target audience
- Use recognisable or catchy tunes and songs
- Identify the station

Radio Jingle Evaluation
The very first task we were given in our rotation was to create 3 Radio Jingles, one for news, show promo and an ident. We had to create these using a programme called Soundbooth, this programme enabled us to record, edit and insert sound effects to make a fuller and more professional sounding jingle.
I found soundbooth easy to use in a way of over-laying and recording, I was able to mix 2 songs together and to make them play at the same time and also have my voice over the top, I was able to insert sound effects to make it sound like someone was trying to tune into the station and turning a radio on.
The idea behind my radio jingles was to attract the attention of young people like myself to tune in and listen to my shows. I did this by using music that was well known within my target audience and recording my own voice to enable a fresh and young feel.
I used this on my ident and show promo because I know that my target audience might not necessarily be as interested in the news as they are in the actual content and ideas of the show.
My news jingle consisted of a lot of modern sci-fi styled sounds and my voice over the top talking about the time, what was on and station information.
I decided to use the sounds instead of music to give a fresher and younger feel to my radio jingle; also it will draw people’s attention if they hear something they might not hear all the time on a day to day basis.
Once I had created and re-edited my radio jingles I listened to them for the final time before leaving for the day, I was pleased with my show promo and my ident, but I wasn’t too sure about my news jingle because the volume limits were wrong and it didn’t seem to flow correctly. If I got the chance to re-make my radio jingles I would re make my news jingle with up beat and recognisable music to help it flow better.
Overall I felt it was a very successful project and I enjoyed it very much. I learnt the basic skills on how to edit and distort sounds to make them how I want. And how to edit and cut songs to make them fit into pieces of music or voice over’s.

PinHole Photography
Making your camera
To make my pinhole camera I needed a tin that was or could be made light tight. I then had to paint to inside with matt black paint. Once I had done this I had to drill a hole into the side of my tin the cover it with tin foil.
After doing this I had to pierce a hole in the tin foil with a pin, I then had to make a flap out of cardboard to hold in the light and let the light in to take photos.
Preparing your camera
To get my camera ready to take photos I needed to cut and shape some photographic paper to fit the inside of my camera without covering up the lens.
I had to make sure that my photographic paper was secure with masking tape so that it didn’t move about and ruin my pictures.
To calculate how long I needed to keep the flap of my camera open, I needed to calculate the Fstop.
Lens
Measure from lens to back of camera.
Pinhole cameraThis required me to measure the point form my lens to the back of my camera.
After taking the measurement I then had to divide it by the size of the pinhole on my camera (aperture)
Focal Length
------------- = Fstop
Aperture
90
------ = 112
0.8
This means that to take a picture on the inside of a building, depending on the light readings we took earlier on in the day I have to expose my photographic paper for 15 minutes
To take a picture on the inside I have to leave it out for 40 seconds.
Taking a picture
To take a picture I need to choose a location put my camera in a suitable place where it won’t wobble or be unsteady and open the flap and leave it for the designated period of time.
