Hi Robert

Some good posting here once you get going. Where are your campaign blog postings? Please invite me onto any new blog.

today we had to make a poster about something (anything) about the environment. out group did a poster that had a image of a post apocalyptic london with a red sky, the river themes had dried up and the houses of parlement destroyed. some green text said "We dont want this, Do you?" and a line under the image saying "for more information visit www.XXXXXXX.com" I used photoshop to make the poster. the original image had a grey sky and didnt look very "eye catching" so we Tinted the sky to a dark red. we originaly where going to have a planet with a cloudy, dark purple surrounding. We did have some trouble though because towards the end we noticed that the text made the image look like it was something about aliens. but it was to late to roll back so far.

i did notice that our poster seemed to grab the atention of most teachers so i asume it had something to do with the text. mainley because they all mentioned to text makeing it look like a alien poster.
Other groups made posters like the earth melting with a thermomiter explodeing on the side. they talked about how global warming effects our plannet and i commented that "it looks like the earth is melting because of the icecaps and global warming" Another group got a image of two yellow birds and overlayed text reading "by 2020 over 500 species of animals could be extinced because of Climate change" One thing i found grabbed me in there poster was the fact that the birds where on a branch, on a solid black background. did i mention the birds where bright yellow?

We used photoshop for our poster. We used the elipticle marque tool alot to get into those hard corners but i did notice that i was doing alot of the work for it. i think i should let other people do the work next time and give them my insight to help them develop in useing photoshop and most image manipulation programs. this has been my brief evaluation of the work we did last week as there was little to talk about. but from what we where told the next blog post is going to be BIG and stuffed with information.

For Mr D

I got swine flu last week and I have mostly recovered, I was planing to come back tomorow but I need to know, should I come? I am not 100% sure what the school (parkside or coleridge) would say. I am not sure if I phrased this corectly but pleas Mr D give your opinion. If I get no reply I will come tomorow.

Mr D's comment

OK posts, but this one is very brief, Robert!

What we did today

Hello today we where working in town/ Cambridge. today we went out and Vox popped people. We where working on "Child Obesity" and asked around 6-8 People. it was fun an i think we did very well. we had a plan that we should wait around in a area that alot of people walked passed. after we where all set up we waited for a variety of different people to walk passed. we had a large groupe of people with some very smart answers to our questions. I was useing the boomstick today and useing the microphone. we could have got more interviews but alot of the people that walked passed where drunk/ exited. ( Adding More)

What we did last Thursday

Sorry for the late post... Had no Internet acces. Last week we learnt about Foxpopping (is that correct?). We learnt to have the camera down not to intimidate the person whome you are asking the questions, and to always keep the microphone out of shot. We also got to use boom sticks... But our group didn't get to because there wearent egnough. With fox popping we also learnt that on the cammera the person you are filming shoul be about 2/3 of the way up and have room to talk (so if faceing left have there head to the right of the shot)
