Unit 2E:My Review
Through the event I was able to develop my communication skills as I was able to tell people about the event and got them to come to the stall to do the workshop.
Doing all this was really good because it was the first time that I had ever done a workshop before.It really helped me to improve my team work skills through telling people to come to our school with other members of our team.From this event it has really benefited me because it will help me for future events and through working with people in the future I will use all these skills I have gained from doing this event.
To improve the event I would take a longer amount of time planning the event,and maybe tell people about the event in advance before the event to persuade more people to come such as advertising on social media and through word of mouth.I would also change the space we used as it got quite cramped at time but overall the event went really well.
Unit 2D Feedback
I have received feedback from my team members and mentors on a sheet to see what went well and what I could of developed on.
From feedback of the event we had got really good positive feedback,which was really good to hear.
Unit 2C: Delivering Project
Day Nine: Event
Date: 7th November 2015
Time: 11:00 – 14:30
Session held: Mac
At the beginning everyone got there early to set up,our group was the model making group where with the children we would make models out of polystyrene which would be good fun to the children.We had emailed Janette before hand to bring the materials for model making and a list but she had misread the email and thought we were going to bring the materials ourselves.As a team through problem solving and resilience we had a plan B which was to use an app on the two iPads called Puppet Makers where we were able to make a interactive Puppet show for the children.
When we had finished setting up me and Aqeel started to persuade people to come to our workshops this was really hard at first because people didn't know whether to come or not or were too shy to come but as I slowly started to talk to more and more people my confidence started to develop and I persuaded people to come to our stall.
Through the day we had three people at the workshop and the other three trying to recruit people we did this as a rota so when people came over to our stall so the young people could start it straight away rather than just waiting around.
When I was doing the workshop I was asked to be interviewed by Fahima. Where she asked me what my role was, the name of the event and what I was currently doing.
Unit 2B: Plan and Practical
Our team was the animation group so there was a large amount of us (around 6 or 7) my job was to help lead workshops and to help promote the event to our audience.
We created a flyer to hand out to people on the day to tell people about the event and create awareness to people,it was a family fun day aimed at everyone any age.
Unit 2A: Role and Planning
For Saturday we planned workshops of things we had learnt to teach our friends,families and also Mac visitors this was to help young people be creative and more passionate about media.
Firstly we had to decide what workshops that we could do in three groups,our final ideas were model making,film posters and green screen.The ideas started to come through as a team we had to discuss the ideas together all listening to peoples ideas.
My main role was to teach kids how to do a puppet animation using an app on an iPad called Puppet Pals.

Unit 1D People & Organisation
Yen Yau Into film presentation
Nina Jones and Harmeet Chagger-KhanNina talked to us History of film,which I thought was going to be quite boring but I found out some interesting and funny information from the talk.
Edward Mybridge used separating images to create a moving image this was called a Zoetrope.
George Eastman was the founder of Kodak and perfected the first camera designed specifically to use a roll of film.
I thought it was cool to hear about the old vs new camera styles for projection and how different films were back then until now.
Independent film maker Harmeet told us about how she got into the film industry,what inspired her and the obstacles she faced to get here.Useful advice which stood out to me was 'Refine your style' make it your own,unique and creative.Harmeet also mentioned that we should get engaged with film through going to festivals and seeing films to see other people's work to inspire you.
Dan Whitehouse and Pete Frazer
Told us about the Next Generation programme and things that we could get involved in on the mac website which were amazing opportunities.Next year I may help out in the Social Exchange event which was something that I went to early this year it was a great event for networking.
By Pete were got told about NFTS + the BFI residentials on other events on how we can develop our skills further,these were really good and exciting opportunities so it is going to be something that I consider to apply for as they are new skills I would like to expand on such as VFX.
Yen did a talk about getting into film and the different opportunities,I found this really good and she had given us some good tips and advice to use for the future.Yen talked about different events which we could go to,which would help us to become more involved and stand out from the crowd.Also different careers were talked about such as different pathways to relate to the subjects that you are good at and suit you.

Pip Piper was firstly a youth worker he started a lego animation and then developed a media charity.At the youth centre he was a project manager which mean't that he was a good organizer and then he developed into his producer role.He then developed himself through networking and collaborations to produce media products.
Michael Clifford started off with editing which had got him hooked on film making,he also took the general route into media through taking a course.Then he got into music videos promotion but then decided he wanted to go and about and travel the world so he got into directing to enable him to explore and adventure.He also said that director isn't just working alone its a team game which requires enthusiasm and passion through this he had met lots of heroes.

Networking-Tea Party
On Wednesday after our BFI session there was a networking event held at the Mac theatre which was set up by Janette.This was the first networking event I had been to but it was an amazing event to talk to people in the media industry.I had met lots of professionals for BBC abd was luck enough to meet Marc Silk the voice of Scooby Doo.The thing I had learn't from the event is that make sure that you put yourself out there by talking to other people.
