BLOG 1: Thursdy 9th of September 2010

In today’s lesson, we went through a certain advertisement where we discussed and identified the different techniques in which had been used. The techniques in which were identified would have included; Jargon, as it used terms in which were technical, such as SPF, figurative language, as it used terms such as lips will enjoy, and many more. We then went through certain ways of writing essays when relating to advertisements using the TEEL (Topic, Example, Explain, and Link). Once done, we moved to the computer rooms to set up our wiki spaces and created our pages. I have decided to complete this assignment independently, as i believe working on my own as an individual as I work better in that certain way. At this particular time, i am still undecided on my final product. That was all for today's lesson, will write back again soon with updates on my progress.

====In today's lesson, it was just another lesson of working on our assignments. It was a somewhat productive lesson, as i worked on my wikispace and started exploring ideas for my final product. I did this by working with the program, Webspiration which is needed in this particular assignment in order to allow our product and process details to be shown. Although i did not get as far as i would have preferred, i did however, manage to teach myself how to use this program better than i did before. I also explored many different ideas as to which one i would use for my final product which made quite a difference, although it is still undecided. That was all for that lesson, not much done as we had a casual. Again, i will write back soon to keep you updated with my progress on this assignment, although i should really get moving as it is due in less than a week. ====

BLOG 3: 13th September 2010

====Due to my absence from school today, I was not in our English lesson. However i did make much progress in my assignment in this time, although i am still undecided on what my final product will be. One thing in which i did decide on, was that i would like o use the advertisement technique of Exaggeration/Hyperboles as it is a technique in which i particularly enjoy watching and also gives me a brief idea as to what i will base my product around. Another technique in which i am hoping to use in my final product would include Humour for similar reasons. I have many ideas in which relate to the concept of my final product however it is still to uncertain as to which one i will use, to reveal. That was all for today, hopefully i didn't miss out too much in today's English lesson, nevertheless i will ask one of my class mates to enlighten me with information. Will write back soon to post more updates on my progress with this assignment, i always do! ====

BLOG 4: 15th September 2010

Today's lesson was a lesson of true productivity as i confirmed my idea of my final product with Mrs. Pittman, as Miss Armbruster was away, and decided on my work. I began to plan with when i would film, and all the who', the where's, etc. This alos meant i had to start my story board which was compulsory when making a movie in order to complete it with efficiency with out any issues. My decision has been, to base my product on Dove Chocolate, which i will be completing through a 30 second short film, advertisment. That was all for today as we had a casual for majority of the lesson, and were in the library. Will write back again soon, again to update you with my progress!

Todays lesson was much more productive than many other past lessons as i managed to complete my entire story board which i plan on filming tomorrow. Although we had a casual, we still had access to the computers where i was able to organise, plan and complete the story board for my film. As it has evidently been stated, i have planned to complete this assignment by doing it in a commercial, in the form of a film. This therefore means that i will have to organise my film, its techniques, props, scripts all using a story board. Now that i have this complete, i can just film and edit. That was all for today's lesson, will write back again soon to update you on my progress.
