1.4 Final learning log and awareness of the target audience
Learning log
Date: 21st January 2011
I believe that i have produced a great leaflet. i think that the colours especially will attract tourists of all ages. As i have made it neither gender or age specific. My images are suitable for the area its advertising. I say this because I have only used images taken from the area. So everything on there, the audience should see when they visit the area and relate and understand it more.
1.1 Written report on the range and types of creative and media activity in the Southbank
Music
Royal Festival Hall
The Royal Festival hall is one of the worlds leading performance venues. It was opened in 1951 as a part of the festival of Britain. It has an auditorium, the Salson poetry library, the Clore Ballroom, the Southbank centre shop and many places to eat and drink. What surprised me was that it was free to go there, this is good as this invites the public to go and see what takes place their. It has also been refurbished and reopened in June 2007 after 2 years of refurbishment, and is now bigger and better then it was before. They have many events and exhibitions taking place and they don’t usually run for a long period of time so it would be smart to check before hand the shows that take place. They also have a variety of art forms like:
- Orchestral
- Chamber
- Rock and Pop
- Contemporary classical
- Talks & debates
So it assists everybody’s needs. In conclusion I think the Royal Festival Hall would be a good day out for anyone.
The Royal Festival Hall can be found at Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London, SE1 8XX

1.4 Drafts of a guide to the creative and media scene in the Southbank
stages of design - back cover
7TH January – 14th January 2011
On the 7th of January I started work on my back page. As the leaflet is supposed to be about the South Bank area I thought I should add information about the other activities/places at the South Bank. So I added information about the Hayward gallery, Royal festival hall and Tate Modern. I didn’t want it to get too cluttered with information so I tried to give an interesting detail about each to draw the reader in.
In the first one I thought that I would add the images first and then add text around it, as a picture speaks 1000 words. I also thought a map was important, so if someone visited the South Bank hey wouldn’t get lost and be able to navigate themselves around the area. As you can see I kept the plain black background, to keep some consistency throughout the leaflet. I also added a glow around the title so it would stand out.
On the second stage I added all he pictures I needed, including a few extras (all photo I took). I also changed the colour of the glow behind the title. I did this to keep consistency because the title on the middle and front pages also had a red glow around them. I then added a website address to the back page so if people where interested they would be able to reach the South Bank at home.
On the finial stage nothing really changed except that I had gotten the website address wrong and had to go back and change it.

1.4 Drafts of a guide to the creative and media scene in the Southbank
Stages of design – middle pages
Date: 31st December – 7th January 2011
Once I finished my front-page final design on the 31st of December I then went on to do my middle pages. I decided that it was best if I put all the text on the document first and then fit pictures around it. So I put all the information about the IMAX and the movies n first. I also added a picture of the IMAX as the foundation of the pictures I waned to come out of it.
From the second to third design I thought I should add a background colour of blue, as it would be quite a calm colour in comparison to all that would be happening in the picture. I also got started on the images I wanted coming out the IMAX. I stared with Harry Potter but didn’t have time to finish it, as I had to attend an interview.
On the 21st I started improving my work. So from the second to the third stage I finished adding and cutting all the images of the film I wanted coming out of the IMAX. I then thought that there was too much text on there so I cut most of it leaving the important, astonishing facts. Because I did this I was able to make the IMAX title bigger and put it at the bottom of the page so it went with the text. ‘What is it?.... THE IMAX.’ I also added a background image of a place in the IMAX behind the image. I also mad the ‘what’s on’ text larger and embossed it so it would be more noticeable.
To finish my middle pages I changed the background colour to black. I did this as I think the black background makes the images stand out more. Because I did this I had to change the text colour to white, as I believe any other colour would have made it too much, a bit messy. I also added a red glow to the text, which is consistent to the red glow on the title.

Stages of design
Date: 24th – 31st December 2010
Throughout the two weeks I have been working on the front cover of my leaflet. In the first stage I added the panda, Micky and the colourful bicycle man because it mad the design look more interesting. The panda with the Mickey also suggests that it is a family place that will be of interest to the family audiences.
In the second stage I included a title and the BFI besides it. I also bevelled and embossed Martin Luther Kings statue as well as embossing the bicycle man so he wouldn't be lost behind Mickey. I included the BFI logo so people will know that they will find the BFI at the South Bank.
On the third stage I added a glow to the title so it stands out more against all the colours. I decided I wanted my leaflet to be very colourful so it connotes the creativity and art that goes on there. I also added a tag line at the bottom of the page so people would know what the South Bank is all about. I also changed the positioning of the title and added a date. i included a date because in many of the leaflets I have collected I noticed that there was a date on there. So I added the months that the leaflet was based on in the top right hand corner. This is because I noticed on other leaflets that the date was always under the title wit the title to the left of the document.
Also I added a glow to the tag line so it would be more noticeable, so it wouldn’t be overlooked. I am very happy with what I have produced. And I believe one of the strengths of this part of my project is how quickly I was able to work to produce it.

An actor acts, they read a play/scriptwriter and try to interpret this role and act it out in a way that is believable and that the public will understand. They work in different places such as on a stage, TV or film. A lot f their time is spent rehearsing and memorising lines. It is not certain how many hours they will spend a week doing this but earn a minimum of £360 a week. This will depend on their part, reputation ad experience. Actors need to have:
• Talent
• To be self-disciplined and hardworking
• To work well in a team
• A strong, trained voice
• An interest in performing and the art of acting.
What qualifications do I need?
You would need to be talented it and passionate for this job. You will need 5 A – C grades however your talent may out shine this. It would be good to study drama in both GCSE and then A level and take part in different school plays as well as drama classes out side of school.
Where can I study?
It would be good if you studied at a performing arts based secondary school or college such as the Brits. However if you go to drama classes it will also work in your favour when it comes to university interviews. A good university to study contemporary dance is at London Contemporary dance school where you will learn how to further improve your skills.
Where could I work?
There are a number of places you can work depending n where you want to act this could be in theatres, movies, presenting or TV commercials. You will have to do a lot of job-hunting looking for auditions; an agent will be good for that.

Case Study
On this diploma course I’ve met many professionals in the creative media industry. Including dancers, journalists, singers and songwriters. I am going to tell you about a few of them.
Akala and Chanelle Newman – manger of the independent label. She used to work at Sony’s label but was disappointed with the way the company was run and its creativeness and decided to move and work with Akala.
Akala was destined to go into the music industry because he grew up around it. With his older sister a performer with the stage name Ms Dynamite, his mum a dancer and his farther a TV producer.
Paul Mardles – he is a writer from the observer, he writes for the music, culture, and sports columns. Before he became a writer for the observer he wrote for a music magazine called Jokky Slut. To get where he is today he studied journalism in university. He’s being doing journalism for the past 20 years and stares that it is a very competitive industry.
Kevin Leo – is a vocal trainer and is also a songwriter, he has worked with artists such as the Sugarbabes and JLS. He is very happy in his line of work and said that the hours can be both long or short depending on the type of artist or song you are working on.

My job in creative and media
Today we had a presentation about all the different jobs in the creative and media industry. I found that there are a wide variety of jobs there and there may be a job here for me to in photography.
School
At first I just wanted to be a photographer but then I found out there were different types of photography and now I would like to be a fashion photographer. I would like to take beautiful pictures of people and be on the front of magazines. But first I need to check my qualifications. For most schools I would need these qualifications to study photography:
- 5 GCSE (A-C)
- 2 A levels/4AS levels
- Portfolio
After school…
However going to school seems to be the easy part in making it into fashion photography, as after school you have to grow up real fast and find away to create a reputation for yourself as most people wont hire you unless you’ve been recommended. It is said that a portfolio is essential and you could also try to get your name out there by putting your pictures on a web site. It would also be quite good if you already have some contacts in that industry already, so social networking is essential.
There are many ways to break into the industry, for example you can:
- Freelance (without an agent
- Freelance with an agent
- Be employed by a retailer
- Be employed by a publication (magazine etc)
- Be employed by a fashion house
- Be employed by a advertising company
- Be employed by a advertising company
- Be employed by a fashion manufacturer
- Be employed by a direct mail company
- Open your own studio

1.3 A personal critical response to the film “Despicable Me
Despicable Me 3D
The IMAX
On the 15th of October I stepped into the Imax for the first time and let me tell you, it was an unforgettable experience. I went to see the film Despicable Me and if I was to see it at any other cinema it wouldn’t be the same. Believe me. The experience was is due to the Canadian IMAX Corporation that created it, and let me tell you I am extremely grateful to them. The has an immense 500 seats; A screen that is more than 20 meters high (that’s nearly the height of 5 double-decker buses!) and twenty - six -meters -wide, with an 11,600-watt digital surround sound system. It is said that all these things working together ‘immerse viewers in larger-than-life images and ultra-realistic digital sound making them feel as if they are literally in the picture’. That statement is so true as I too felt as though I was in the picture it was amazing. The cinema was opened in 1999 and cost a whopping15 million pounds that they got from the Arts council of England’s Lottery Fund. And my experience there was better than anticipated.
IMAX 3D
Watching 3D movies in the Imax is not the same as watching it in any normal cinema. The Imax uses a 3D film that consists of two films being shown at the same time. The 3D camera has two lenses set at the same distance apart as our eyes and films both the left and the right eye images at the same time. The two pictures are then projected through polarized glass, each eye polarized differently so that the left eye does not see the image of the right eye and vice versa. The viewer wears polarized glasses to help keep the two images separate. Your brain then converts the two images therefore tricking your brain into thinking the image is 3D and reaching out to you. It was like nothing I’ve ever seen; the science of it is absolute genius! While I sat and watched despicable me It was as if the characters were reaching out to me, involving me, talking to me, entertaining me.
My Experience at the Imax
The Imax wasn’t that hard to find and is located at 1 Charlie Chaplin Walk, South Bank, Waterloo, and London, SE1 8XR. It was a little walk away from the Hayward gallery where I was before. As soon as I arrived I were greeted with a friendly face of Miss Charlie Roberts School and booking Manger at the BFI IMAX. I paid for my ticket – which a little bit more than what I would pay at a normal cinema, but it was to be expected considering the quality I was about to see. I then went to use the bathroom, which I found to be very clean and nice, I was quite pleased with all their facilities. Then Miss Charlie Roberts gave me a talk about the Imax screen and then how their 3D works, which I found to be quite engaging and interesting. I also found her to be quite cheerful and happy to talk to us, which is a joy to see it also shows she has a love for her job, which you don’t really see a lot of.
Despicable me
Release Date: 2010
Production company: Universal Animation
Cast: Steve Carell - Gru (voice)
Jason Segel - Vector (voice)
Russell Brand - Dr. Nefario (voice)
Julie Andrews -Gru's Mom (voice)
Will Arnett - Mr. Perkins (voice)
Kristen Wiig - Miss Hattie (voice)
Miranda Cosgrove - Margo (voice)
Dana Gaier - Edith (voice)
Elsie Fisher - Agnes (voice)
Pierre Coffin - Tim the Minion / Bob the Minion / Mark the Minion / Phil the Minion / Stuart the Minion (voice)
Chris Renaud - Dave the Minion (voice)
Jemaine Clement - Jerry the Minion (voice)
Jack McBrayer - Carnival Barker / Tourist Dad (voice)
Danny McBride - Fred McDade (voice)
Mindy Kaling - Tourist Mom (voice
Despicable me is a story about a man, a villain. He is evil and ravishes in all things bad and his one ambition is to be the world’s greatest villain. He goes up against Vector the banker’s son to do something that has never been done before. To steal the moon! However the plan changes as some complications arise. Instead of using the three-orphaned girls as another factor towards his great plan. He starts to spend time with three girls he learns to love and care for them. And in return they feel love for him too and he finally experiences appreciation and valued something he never got from his mother. And after some time rethinks his ways and by the end of the film we are able to view him in a different light. As a boy who hasn’t been appreciated, a teen that has made the wrong choices and a man learning to love.
I think the cast did really well as the characters weren’t emotionless, you could both hear the joy, sadness and humor in their voices. I think that Steve Carell did a great job in portraying Gru first as a hateful villain to a loving caring dad. Jason Segal did quite well as the other super villain Vector; you could hear the jealous/hatred he had towards Gru as well as determination to make his farther proud. The two directors where also great in capturing the emotions and doing a lot of pans so we could really grasp what's happening in the movie and feel a part of it.
The storyline was quite interesting because it has the predictable good vs bad story line with a twist. As it starts out bad vs bad, but then the bad turns good because of three girls from the hood. Which entertaining as well heartfelt.
In conclusion I felt that despicable me is a great movie and I would recommend it to anyone as it is great fun to watch and enjoyable. I say this because it was really easy to understand and relate to and I felt for Gru, it also left room imagination. Although the movie was a little predictable it didn’t spoil the film as it wasn’t a copycat of another film but had its own story line. It also did great in stimulating my mind and nerves keeping me entertained the whole way through. I also believe that even in 2D the film would still be great. It’s a great film. 4 stars!

1.1 Written report on the range and types of creative and media activity in the Southbank
The globe
The Globe is a theatre dedicated to Shakespeare. The playhouse that Shakespeare wrote for inspires the design of the globe, and it is used to explore his work and the audience he would have been writing for. The Globe is split up into three semi-circle sections (gallery’s) with gentlemen’s rooms. They have quite a few shows going on there like ‘Henry 5th’ shows. Their shows usually last for about a month, this is good as it gives the public enough time to find out about the show and find a day to go and watch the show.
You can find the Globe at Bankside, 21 New Globe Walk, London SE1 9DT.

Tate Modern
Tate Modern is the national gallery of British art. They have a variety of exhibitions going on their like there ‘color and line’ exhibition where the audience are shown how Joseph Turner revolutionized to kinds of image making. What’s good is that most of their exhibitions run for at least a couple of months so that the public has a time to go and view one. Another thing that I liked was that all events are free, which I was very surprised but delighted to see. Every moth on the first Friday they have something called ‘late at Tate Britain’ which is when you ‘can experience art after hours’ and they provide entertainment such as performances, music and talks. I think that this is a good idea because it gives the working person a chance to visit Tate modern and I also believe that art comes alive at night. Especially abstract art with vivid and powerful colors. The gallery itself is really good as well as they have a lot or artists and different types of art on display.
Tate Britain can be found at Milbank, London, SW1P 4RG

The Imax… What else is there to say it has a ‘state-of-the-art, large-format’ cinema on the expressive original, creative inspiring area of South Bank. When you walk into the cinema you look around the huge room with Its 500 seats, and a screen that is more than 20 meters high (that’s nearly the height of 5 double-decker buses!) and 26 meters wide, with an 11,600-watt digital surround sound system. It is said that all these things working together ‘immerse viewers in larger-than-life images and ultra-realistic digital sound making them feel as if they are literally in the picture’. And of course I have to agree the cinema is truly a work of art; you will not find another place like it. The cinema was opened in 1999 and cost a whooping 15 million pounds – but it was worth it – that they got from the Arts council of England’s Lottery Fund. They have a lot of films running at the Imax with allot of them I 3D therefore making the Imax experience even better. The films there run for different lengths, some for only 2 weeks but others for a month. So go to the Imax website now and see what’s on, you will not regret the experience.

Royal Festival Hall
The Royal Festival hall is one of the worlds leading performance venues. It was opened in 1951 as a part of the festival of Britain. It has an auditorium, the Salson poetry library, the Clore Ballroom, the Southbank centre shop and many places to eat and drink. What surprised me was that it was free to go there, this is good as this invites the public to go and see what takes place their. It has also been refurbished and reopened in June 2007 after 2 years of refurbishment, and is now bigger and better then it was before. They have many events and exhibitions taking place and they don’t usually run for a long period of time so it would be smart to check before hand the shows that take place. They also have a variety of art forms like:
- Orchestral
- Chamber
- Rock and Pop
- Contemporary classical
- Talks & debates
So it assists everybody’s needs. In conclusion I think the Royal Festival Hall would be a good day out for anyone.
