SMILE Campaign Mindmap: Creating a mindmap of my ideas for my print advert allows me to get an image in my head of what I want the end result to look like. It also helps that the points are only in small sentences rather than large paragraphs that go into detail of what i want and don’t want in my print advert- i don’t have to scan paragraphs to get specific information. It’s also fun to see whether i actually stuck to what i initially wanted to do, and to think about what could have made me change my mind about an idea. Flatplan:

  SMILE Campaign About Client/Task: The client for this project is a non-profit organisation called ‘Happy Foundations’; they are a movement of people trying to build a happier society by encouraging positive changes in people’s lives, homes, workplace and community. Them being a non-profit organisation means that there is no budget for this project. My objective is to produce a TV and print advert which will make people smile/happy. My target audience is my own community, and I have to help motivate them to smile and help reduce stress and improve mental health. Trying to produce a TV and print advert that makes people smile is going to be difficult as everyone has different things that make them smile; while something might make one person smile, another person might not share that same joy. Benefits of smiling: Researchers at the University of Kansas published findings that smiling helps reduce the body's response to stress and lower the heart rate in tense situations. Science h...

  MINDHUNTER Analysis The clip I'm going to analyse is the official opening credits to MINDHUNTER season 1. I am going to be discussing things such as what I can see, what the genre is, the editing and the effect it has on the audience, the sound used, and so on. In the clip, I can see someone setting up a tape recorder while there are occasional flashes of a corpse. From this, I am guessing that the genre is either true crime or horror. I know this because of the dark themes present; the tape recorder could be being set up to interview a criminal whom killed the person whose corpse which is shown, or a suspect of the crime. Upon further analysis, I've been able to spot that there are actually two corpses shown, as one of the shots show a single hand on it's own, while another shot shows a pair of hands set beside each other (tied together, I'm assuming). Camera Angles The camera angles used in this scene show the tape recorder being set up from up close, so that only t...

  Proposal Letter to Client: Hello, My name is Amy Norris and I am a student at Sunderland College who has been tasked with making a documentary. The aim of this documentary is to engage young people and to encourage them to think about the impact of the digital age on modern society, and to highlight what defines that culture, and talk about my own experiences with it and other people who identify with it. When choosing an idea for this documentary, I decided to go with one about video games. Basically, most young people play video games nowadays, to the point where video games have become a daily part of their lives, and i thought it would be interesting to talk about the impact video games have had on us and society. Also, i enjoy playing video games myself, which means that i could easily talk about my own experiences while gaming and experiences i had/have with the gaming community. Because i’m active in the gaming community, i also know other people who enjoy playing video ga...
