Friday's class

Kia ora, girls,
Today - I want you to plan 6 photographs to take of your product.
To do this - you can use Paint. Draw six different frames so that each frame represents one photograph.
For your advertising - you should photograph your product in 6 different ways - a close up, from different angles or sides, with a model demonstrating how it's used. All the photos should be quite close up so they appear LARGE and more impressive in you magazine ad.
When using a model - photograph just the part of the person that is using your product - don't photograph them in full - or your product won't show up

Show me your 6 photo drafts before using the camera to photograph.
Good luck.
Don't forget to Blog your progress.
Ka kite,
Miss T

You are going to begin a magazine advertisement today for your product - using MS Publisher.
Open a publisher document and choose a template for an advertisement that you like.

This is due on Friday.

Tuesday 12th September
Hey teams. You've begun to create your TV commercials for your products. They must appeal to teenage girls from 13-18years old.
Today you will be given time to do the following tasks.
1. Complete a 10 frame Storyboard (sketched in detail so it's easy for all to follow). You may use less than 10 frames but not more!
2. Complete a full Script - what each actor is saying, exactly! On this sheet, you should also record any other sounds or music you are using.
3. Complete a Production Notes sheet. On this you need to write - who's involved, what their roles will be, how much time it will take, where it is set, what props, costumes, other equipment you'll need on the day of filming.
4. We are in the Media room tomorrow (Wednesday 14th September). Who will be ready to film their ad???????
5. Co-operative workers listen, participate actively, share the jobs fairly and equally, make an effort to involve everyone, get the job done!!! avoid going off track please - stick to the tasks and get them complete to the best of all your abilities. :-)

Friday 1st September!

Welcome to the end of week 7!
Only 3 weeks to go.
You've been working today on finishing your Web pages and they are looking fantastic.
The webpage is a chance to supply lots of details about your product that the audience might want to know.
Product Description could include: describe size, colour, shape and functions of your product - any other ranges or flavours etc of your product. Where and how they are created. What goes into making them. Where they are sold, how much they cost. Contact details and addresses. Any personnel information - that's profiles of yourselves. What else might a potential buyer want to know??
Good luck.

Konichiwa!
Good to see so many of you using your initiative and choosing something to work on. I have given you several options - work on Photoshop to adjust or manipulate pictures - update your blogs today - what have you been doing? learning? how is it going? - finish taking your photographs if you haven't already.

Good luck,
Miss Thompson
