This week i am going to create a survey to ask people about what they thought of the Cramba Performance. I am going to ask a series of questions about The Cramba Performance to people who went and didn't go in the end.

Festivals

FESTIVAL

Festival is an event, usually and ordinarily staged by a local community, which centers on and celebrates some unique aspect of that community.

Among many religions, a feast is a set of celebrations in honour of God or gods. A feast and a festival are historically interchangeable. However, the term "feast" has also entered common secular parlance as a synonym for any large or elaborate meal. When used as in the meaning of a festival, most often refers to a religious festival rather than a film or art festival.

In the Christian liturgical calendar there are two principal feasts, properly known as the Feast of the Nativity of our Lord (Christmas) and the Feast of the Resurrection, (Easter). In the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Anglican liturgical calendars there are a great number of lesser feasts throughout the year commemorating saints, sacred events, doctrines, etc.

The House - Cambridge Folk Museum

The Cambridge Folk Museum

Before we went to the Museum's we were not told what they were like and what they were like inside. When we all arrived at the Cambridge Folk Museum we realised that the art in the gallery was more modern. Inside the Museum there was a house that we didnt know existed before we were told about it. We were told that we were allowed to visit the house and walk around it. When we entered the house my first thought was that the house was very small. However as we got further and further into the house it gradually got bigger and bigger and had many different rooms. All the furniture in the house is not for sale but just on show to show how the people who owned the house decorated it.

Questions to ask Practitioner

Film Review - Alice and Wonderland

ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Last weekend i went to see Alice In Wonderland in 3D at cineworld in Cambridge. I really enjoyed this film because even though most parts of the film were annimated, i found it really funny and i thought that it had a good story line. There has been mixed reviews over Alice and Wonderland in the papers recently, and quite a lot of cinemas aren't even showing the film because the Dvd is coming out soon.

Cast

Mia Wasikowska - Alice

Johnny Depp - Mad Hatter

Helena Bonham Carter - Red Queen

Anne Hathaway - White Queen

Crispin Glover - Stayne

Matt Lucas - Tweedledee / Tweedledum

Alan Rickman - Blue Caterpillar (voice)

Barbara Windsor - Dormouse (voice)

Paul Whitehouse - March Hare (voice)

Timothy Spall - Bayard (voice)

Times Online Review

Here is a clip from the Times Online Website.

Each scene offers a British luvvie in phantasmagorical disguise. Alan Rickman voices the caterpillar, and perhaps inevitably the Cheshire Cat speaks with the smug voice of Stephen Fry. Tweedledum and Tweedledee are a digitally manipulated Matt Lucas, and Paul Whitehouse is the disturbed March Hare, prone to throwing crockery. The squeaky dormouse, who pokes out the Bandersnatch’s eyeball with a needle, is our very own Barbara Windsor.

Unfortunately, Johnny Depp has too much of Willy Wonka lingering about him as he plays the Mad Hatter, who is promoted to a modern buddy role with Alice. Anne Hathaway’s character as the White Queen was, said Burton, based on Nigella Lawson. This running joke becomes clear in the lipsmacking potion scene.

Radio Research

Cambridge University Radio

CUR1350 - Cambridge University Radio, is Cambridge's only radio station aimed specifically at students, staff and researchers of Cambridge University and Anglia Ruskin University. We are an entirely independent broadcasting service, presented, engineered and managed by students.

We have won many awards; in November 2007 under former Station Manager, Michael Brooks, CUR1350 became the most nominated radio station in the country with nine nominations and was awarded the national Best Student Radio station in the Student Radio Awards, making it the UK's number one student radio station.

In 2003 we won a silver medal for our live coverage of the May Bumps inter-collegiate rowing competition. CUR1350 provides a source of high quality essential entertainment, as well as a tried and tested route into professional radio for members.

we cover other sporting events in Cambridge such as the Varsity Football and Rugby matches. Our coverage of Cambridge life goes beyond sport: we cover cinema and theatre in the city, and reguarly conduct outside broadcasts from the best venues in Cambridge for students.

Progress Reportha

Recently i have been researching an event called The Youth Takeover. I have been doing this by using the internet and websites such as facebook which have groups giving me information. The other day i sent an email to Simon Bates asking him about the Youth Takeover. I would like to have an interview with him to talk about this so that will know about it more.

Junction on the 11/03/10

Yesterday we went to the junction in the afternoon. Before we went we prepared questions that we were going to ask the people who work at the junction. We all thought that we were going to be interviewing them, however this was the other way round. We were all asked to pick one of the jobs from the junction and then we had to go and get interviewed by the people that have the job. This went bad because we didn't think that we would be doing this and some people were not happy that they had to do that because it was not what we had been told we were going to do.

Preparation for the Junction

Session 2 initial ideas

Who will be your target audience

1. Our group thought that the target audience should be of all ages. We decided this so that everyone could read the news paper and be interested.

2. What are your initial ideas for the visual style & design features?

Our groups initial ideas were that we should make the newspaper very eye-catching for the target audience. This would include bold italic and underlining effects.

SCENE SESSION 1 : initial research

Welcome to Cambridge

- home of the world famous University, carols in King's College Chapel and punting on the river Cam. Cambridge is a compact cosmopolitan city with outstanding architecture old and new. The beauty of its ancient centre is preserved with its walkable medieval streets, college courts, gardens and bridges.

Dress rehersal

At samba yesterday the samba rehersal went very well. At the start we played our piece then towards the end of the session we sorted out where we were going to stand in the performance in cambridge. The outfits worked well and because the size of the tshirts were very big they fitted over our normal clothes and looked alright. The boys masks though were too small and didn't fit over their faces which didn't work. If we had more time i would say that we should do more to the costumes that we are wearing. I also think that we could try to learn a different style of samba to add more difficulty to our performance.

Today i am going to look over the internet and see if i can find the cheapest white t-shirts possible. I have just discovered 'Fruit of the Loom' t-shirts, they are not very expensive but overall we don't think we have enough money to pay for everything as well as the t-shirts. here is a picture of the t-shirt that i found
the cost of it is £1.22

CAMBRIDGE RESEARCH REPORT

Acro Iris Samba create a sense of band identity by all wearing jumpers that say the name of the band on them. I really like this piece because they all look like they are really enjoying them selves and do not look embarrased. It is good not to look embarrased because then the public will realise you are not taking it seriously. Occasionally you can see certain members of the band looking at each other so they know how to keep in time. They also have a leader who had a seperate drum which is leading the samba band, this helps the band members to know what section they have got to in the song. By stepping from side to side and dancing is involving the audience to join in with what they are doing and dance to the music. The band is arranged with the big drums which a low sound at the back which you cannot always see, then there is the smaller drums which have a lighter sound. Right at the front there is the little drums and the go go bells. There is also a stage at the back which the big drummers are standing on so that they are noticible to the audience.


Thudbox - Bal A


Thudbox are a smaller group than Acro Iris and tend to perform in clubs, pubs and at festivals. At the start of the song it is just the lady playing a tune on the piano sort of thing. Then others gradually start to join in and create a beat. There doesnt look like there is a main leader who is telling the band what to do which means that they are all managing to keep in time with each other and know when they have to move onto different section ect.. The band don't seem to have a layout on the stage but the bigger drums seem to be at the back than at the front. Lots of light affects have been used at the start of the piece it is very dark and then gradually it gets lighter. It gets lighter when they change to the 'jungle' style of samba and then gets darker again. This marks the change in the piece of music and adds to the affect.

T-shirt.... what are we going to now?

Because we don't have enough money to get new t-shirts we are going to use our old creative and media tops that we had designed earlier in the year. This is a cheaper idea and we are going to have to think of a way to get Chloe's photoshop design onto the t-shirts.

samba this week.

here is a picture of the cheap t-shirt that i found on google. It is a 'Fruit of the Loom' t-shirt. It costs £1.34 per t-shirt.

SAMBA IN CAMBRIDGE RESERCH REPORT

Acro Iris Samba

I really liked this video because it was a big group of people playing but they still managed to keep in time with each other. In this video they aren't wearing costumes but they look like they are all from different backgrounds or diferent places because they aren't all wearing the same thing.

who am i going to send my petition to?

I have decided that i am going to send my petition to innocent smoothie when i get more people to sign it.

here is a picture of the innocent smoothie company.

Facebook group response

This is a picture of my smoothie group on facebook. This photo shows how many friends i have and people's comments on the smoothie wall.

here is also another picture of my facebook group

What was campaign day like?

On campaign day i wanted to see how many signatures i could get as possible. I also wanted to raise awareness about my campaign so people would know it existed. I got quite a few signatures, i got around 20. My plan changed because it was snowing and i knew that i wouldn't be able to get home if i stayed in town any longer so i had to go home.

My campaign day was quite succesfull, however i know that if i had tried more i could have got more signatures.

If i was going to do this again i would try and talk to more people and get more signatures and not be so embarrassed.

I am going to bring in my signatures leaflet in on monday and count how many signatures i got. I am then going to try harder to talk to more people and be more outgoing when talking to others.

Plan for today's campaigning

Today i am first going to create a list which i can get people to write their signatures on it. I am then going to go around long road and try to get signatures from people around college. Later on i then plan to go to cambridge and get signatures from people in cambridge. It should approximately take around 30-60 minutes to do get signatures from long road then an hour to do the signatures in cambridge.

What will i discuss with people

here are the following questions i aim to discuss

• Do you think this is a good campaign
• Do you like smoothies
• What is your favourite smoothie

I would use persuasion, personality , information.

i dont know what i expect from today but i want to get as many signatures as possible.

Changed campaign idea

I have decided that i am going to change my campaign idea. After thinking about it i realised that not many people would support my campaign because of these reasons.

• Unhealthy
• Shops would loose money and disagree

If thinking about this you start to realise that the campaign which is intended to make people smile will have the opposite affect.

I have decided to change my idea so that whenever you come into college in the morning everyone gets a free smoothie. This is a good campaign idea because not only will it be good for people who like smoothie's but it will help them concentrate in lessons and this makes it easier for the teachers. It is also a much healthier idea for students than one day of free chocolate. I think that other people such as the government would agree with me because the aim of it is to make teenagers in the UK healthier as the number of overweight and obese children in the UK has risen steadily over the past 20 years. In 2004 it was also estimated that 14 percent of boys and 17 percent of girls aged two to 15 were obese.

People that would not be very happy about this would be for example innocent smoothie.

They would not like this idea because if more children when they get to either school or college are having smoothies this may mean that when families go to the supermarket there is no need to get smoothie for their children if they are getting it at school.

However they may like this idea because if we campaigned to get innocent smoothie to supply free smoothies for children every day then they may not get money in the short run. However in the long run this may be a good idea because if children are getting the smoothies at college and they decide they like them on the way home they may decide to get another which is more money for Innocent smoothie.

Campaign about postal workers strike

Today Tom Woodcock came in a talked to us about ideas that we could use to help us with our campaign. He told us that for our campaigns to be successful they would have to be clear, focused and addressed at the right people. He gave us a list of website and ideas that we could use to help us create our campaign.

He told us that we could do letter writing to either the prime minister and local people. He also told us that we could do press release by using

• Radio
• Newspapers
• Websites
• Television

This campaign is a campaign that Tom woodcock who is the secretary of the cambridge and districts trades union council. He campaigned that people who campaigned to support postal workers on strike. They collected over £300 for the strike fund and distributed 300 leaflets explaining the dispute.

Here is a picture of Tom and his friends campaigning for the postal strikers.

I don't agree with this campaign because i believe that workers should not be payed to not go to work. I believe that if you are not happy with the amount of money you are receiving from your job so much that you are not going to work, then you should either find another job or go to your work and try to campaign instead of going on strike. By going on strike you are not only affecting yourself but you are also effecting other people that are meant to be receiving either letters or packaging.

However on the other hand they are not getting enough money and the Government are cutting their pensions as well . I now can understand why they are on strike but i don't believe that that is the best solution to their problems. Steve Sweeney, Secretary of the Cambridge & Stevenage postal workers support group added " The post office has become a key battle for all those who think ordinary people should not be made to pay for the bankers crisis.

STENCIL CUTTING and Painting

Here are a few photo's of us cutting out our designs

Step one

Step two

This is us painting our stencils onto our t-shirts

what am i doing today? what am i doing tomorow?

What did i do today?

Today i cut out the stencil for my t-shirt. It took me quite a long time but i was pleased with the final product. Emma the teacher told me that it might be quite hard to paint but if it worked it would look really good.

What am i doing tomorow?

Tomorow i am going to paint my stencil onto my t-shirt. I am not too sure about how it is going to end up but i hope it works.

BLOG REFLECTION

What did i do today?

Today i finished off my Photoshop design. I added bridges to it so that it would be easier to cut it out with a stencil.

What went well and why?

i managed to add bridges this went well because when i print my design out i wont lose the little pieces.

What could i have done differently?

I turned up late today because of the busses, i could have got to the bus stop earlier so i was into college in time.

What do you have to do tomorow?

i have to properly finish the design and then print it out.

I really like this video because they actually go to india and investigate and prove their point. I also like this video because it has more action in it that the other video. I didn't really like the other video because it was just four people sitting round a table discussing the topic.

My point is that by just discussing it they aren't making a difference by doing something about it. I also didn't like the video because

STENCIL ART EVALUATION

DRAWING IMAGE BY HAND
My final piece was very different to the image that i drew in the first place. If i could repeat this i would spend more time drawing my image and look at other idea's to what my drawing could be. I find drawing really hard so i was really impressed with the image that i drew.

Re-creating your design in photoshop
i always find this really hard because i always really like my drawing by hand that i have made and dont ever manage to re-create the exact replica. I have found that i can use photoshop better now i have had much more practice on it i know what tools to use. After i had edited my design i decided that i was going to change it to a picture of Audrey Hepburn. I did this because i saw that other people had used pictures of Maryly Monroe and it looked really cool. Z

Cutting out my stencil in Acetate

I found this part the easiest out of the four stages. Even though it was tricky i found it quite easy to do and i did accidently cut off all her hair but it went with the pictrure

Weekend Homework

T-shirt design campaign idea 1 -

I think that everyone should get free EMA every week. This would improve my life because it would mean that i would have money to pay for the bus and for lunch at college. This would also improve other people's lives aswell especially those who struggle with money.

T-shirt design campaign idea 2 -

I think that everone should have free travel. If there was always free travel it would be easier to get to places and you could travel free by plane,car, bus or bike. It would also mean that we would all have more money.

T-shirt campaign design idea 3 -

An idea that i have had to make people smile is free chocolatte. There were people doing this the other day next to the grafton giving out free aero mint bars. Not only was this making people smile but it was also advertising the chocolate.

New stencil

After editing my design to make a stencil i decided that i didn't want to keep the one i had because i didn't like it and i didn't think it would make a good t-shirt. i then changed it to a picture of Audrey Hepburn.

Here is a picture of my new design

my first design was influenced by my friends and my ipod. I looked through the songs on my ipod and picked the song that had really good lyrics.

This design is influenced from the people in my group. I looked at the designs they were doing and went onto google and picked a famous actress to be my stencil.

Banksy

Banksy is an anonymous english graffiti artist who's stenciling technique is similar to Blek le rat. He does not sell photo's or street graffiti auctioneers have tried to sell his work before but have failed.

here is a picture that i found on his website

i like this picture because it not only is a stencil on the wall but he has added it onto the wall through the double yellow lines.

Stencil design

These are two pictures of my design.

my design is about song lyrics, i got the lyrics from the song 'get shaky' by the ian carey project. i have added pink and black colours as we are only allowed to have two and i have put some of the writing in bold.

A compilation of my acts of kindness from Tom Robbins on Vimeo.

This video is about a man called Troy Kennedy who is doing nice deeds to make people happy. He does several things to entertain people such as, for a day a cafe hands out free pancakes. And also going around with signs saying 'smile' and 'free hugs' I picked this video because i like the idea behind it. To promote this campaign they have added humour and they show Troy Kennedy also interacting with the public.

T-shirt comparison

Threadless website

Here is a picture of the top i found on the website Threadless. I like this top because it has humour on it by the cookie saying to the milk " i love you ". I think that if they made this top in other colours then it would be more popular. The cost of this t-shirt is £30 which i think is quite expensive for the design of this t-shirt. If you also bought this off the internet the price of postage would be £1.50.

I like this top because i wouldn't necessarily wear it but i like that fact that it advertises Breast cancer health Uk. I think this is good because my dad works a cancer surgeon and i like how they haven't just made it for a top but to advertise something. However i think that if they made this t-shirt again they could change it to make it more appealing and attractive. They could use different colours for the t-shirt to make it more interesting, or they could make the logo of breast cancer larger so it was more visible. To buy this top it would cost £12.50 also to add postage it would cost £2.

t-shirt history

Emma's T-shirt blog

The T-shirt evolved from undergarments used in the 19th century, through cutting the one-piece "union suit" underwear into separate top and bottom garments, with the top long enough to tuck under the waistband of the bottoms. T-shirts, with and without buttons, were adopted by miners and stevedores during the late 1800's as a convenient covering for hot environments.

What is a t-shirt?

A T-shirt (or tee shirt) is a shirt which is pulled on over the head to cover m

ost of a person'storso. A T-shirt is usually buttonless, collarless, and pocketless, with a round neck and short sleeves
