Looking at Campaigns



Bullying Campaign
This campaign is here to tell you: (http://www.stampoutbullying.co.uk/)
What bullying is, how it can be prevented, the types and if you are being bullied, how you can be advised.
The site can give you anything you need to know about bullying. The major effects, the reasons why people get bullied and how they can advise you.

Anti-smoking Campaign
The information that the British Heart Foundation provides on smoking is:
How to you can quit, how it damages your heart, second hand smoke and how to give up. (http://www.britishheartfoundation.com/)

Cancer Campaign
This campaign tells you basic information, as I chose to do it based on one particular cancer: Leukemia.
The information that it provides about Leukemia is:
The common symptoms, what it is and how the symptoms are noticed. (http://www.cancerresearch.com/)

Campaign diary

This part of my blog is about campaigns, and for my campaign I have decided to do something based n dance and cancer. Before coming up with this I went through several ideas.
After researching 3 different campaigns and evaluating them, I moved onto posters. I saw what attracted people and what the target audience should be. Putting all these ideas together, I began to think about what I could do my campaign on.
The first campaign I research was for bullying. Bullying happens everywhere and at any time. I thought doing a campaign for bullying would be a bit effective as I could talk from experience of seeing people being bullied and how I saw it be solved. Having knowledge of things helps when making a point at your points are mostly different from the ones being spoken.
My second idea was an anti-smoking campaign. This campaign is much known and I wanted to do something completely different to what is already known, so I skipped this one and went to my third campaign.
My third campaign idea was for Music. I thought this one would have been easy, as I do a music based subject and I take interest in music. I couldn’t think of many ideas, which frustrated me, so I went onto something that I thought anyone could do even if they have never done it before.
My fourth and final idea was Dance. Dance is interesting, the movements and sounds made when dancing. I have had a personal experience in the family with cancer, so I like to help a lot when it comes to it. Putting two and two together, I came up with the idea to put cancer and dancing together and make it one campaign. I did research and made posters for my folder and thought of a few titles, 'Dance for Cancer', 'Dance Away Cancer' and 'Dance Cancer Away'.
I haven't yet chosen my final title I am gong to do a tally chart. Until then I am going to record what I will need and what my campaign will be about and how I am going to make it work.

Evaluation: Scene

Briefly explain the research that you carried out for Creative and Media on London's South Bank.

I carried out a bunch of information for Creative and Media on the London's South Bank trip. As we were told that for our project we will be producing a leaflet, i was mainly looking out for leaflets that appealed to people between the ages of 16 and 19.
As i am between that age, i looked for what would appeal to me.
Within the leaflets i looked at the colouring, layout, images, fonts and the way everything was presented, as for when i produced my leaflet it would look appealing.
When producing my leaflet, i used a certain software, called, fireworks, as i find it easier to use. However, when it came to printing my final leaflet, i used photoshop as it was easier to change the size of my canvas. i went through a few phases of changing he size, rearranging the pictures and layout.

A videographer is a person who works in the video medium. Videographers maintain and operate a variety of video equipment, edit footage, and stay up to date with technological advances. In order to become a videographer you need to have experience with cameras, so an A-level or a degree in photography. Computer technology, as putting things on the computer and experience in cropping things may be needed.

A songwriter is someone who writes the lyrics, as well as the musical composition or melody to songs. Al you need is passion for music and you ca write anything. You may also need a publisher, or if you are doing it yourself, you can find a way to be your own publisher. To become a songwriter you may need qualifications in certain subjects.
