BSA203 Southsure and Flicks

Week 6 
I was put into the sub-committees for Promotion and Evaluation. I was made the leader of the Evaluation sub-committee. We discussed what we were going to be doing in class in each of the committees. Sam asked me if I would be able to deal with the entry queries that people might have once we begin to organise entries, which I said I could do. Vy agreed that she would be able to take photos for when it comes to the evaluation at the end. In the promotion sub-committee we agreed that we would wait for the poster and all of the details before we would go around classes to let people know about the event and begin promoting things on Facebook and other media.

Week 7
I set up a bunch of folders on the temp drive each of the sub-committees for them to drop their notes from their own meetings and any other things that are relevant in. I am currently organising a time for the Evaluation committee to meet weekly, I'm just waiting for a time from the visual arts students in the group because I'm not sure when they are free yet. I've agreed to be the one who is given as the contact for Southshore with regards to entries for the event, I also agreed to be the one who would email people who haven't picked up their work after the event to let them know they have to collect it.

Week 8
I'm trying to organise a time for the evaluation committee to meet this week.
When we met, we just vaguely discussed what when need to start to think about as the evaluation committee. We said we would read through the worksheets that were given out to us for how to evaluate projects and think about how that related to Southshore.

Week 9
I caught the flu and spent most of the week feeling like death.

Week 10 
We had a meeting and I wrote up a few things for the evaluation sub-committee.
We discussed things like; How we plan to document and collect evidence, how we will survey people and who we will survey, how we will judge the event is a success (and in relation to this, how will we count the audience attendance so we can collect some quantitative data in extension to the qualitative data that we will collect via a survey on the night) and some other little details.
I made up a planning table thing that was in the handout booklet. We also have to brainstorm questions for the audience survey on the night which I plan to type up a few by next weeks meeting so we can present them to the committee.

Week 11
I'm helping write the sponsorship letters with the others. We have also been having subcommittee meetings for evaluation, promotion and technical also. The evaluation sub-committee is trying to come up with and plan how we are going to evaluate the event. We are coming up with surveys for
various groups.

Week 12-14 
We completed the first survey for the committee members, and have been continuing to have sub-committee meetings every week. I think we are on track mostly, although we need to have a quick look at the 2016 Evaluation folder to double check that we aren't missing something.

BSA106 German Expressionism.

German Expressionism in film came about after WW1, after Germany lost the war. Germany wanted to revitalise the film industry and to create a better impression for the country. The German government subsidised the UFA (Universum-film AG), whose studios were the largest and best equipped in Europe. This became Germans golden age of cinema. German Expressionist film lasted from 1919 to 1933 when Adolf Hitler came into power. Unlike other Western films of that period that focused more so on creating realism, German Expressionism distorts reality to create an emotional effect. Expressionism films employed stylised set design, elaborate costuming, shadowy lighting that emphasises bold contrasts of dark and bright highlights and unnatural make-up. The settings are typically distorted and exaggerated, with key themes being madness, criminality and fracturing of identity. German Expressionism was a huge influence in developing the horror genre. They began to tell the story

BSA126 Animation Character - Tim Lockwood, Cloudy with a Chance of meatballs.

Tim Lockwood Tim Lockwood is Flint's father in 'Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs'. I picked him because I think he is interesting because he doesn't have any eyes that we can see but the animators are able to show us his emotions purely by his eyebrow movements. Structurally, Tim's face is made up of very simple shapes, His eyebrows are a simple rectangle shape that has been given a hair-like texture design to show they are very bushy. His nose is also a rectangular shape with little realistic design apart from the flat rectangular shape. His mustache is similar to his eyebrows, only a slight curve to show gravity and to make his face seem more realistic. It also doubles as a mouth shape in many ways, similar to how his uni-brow doubles as eyes. The head shape itself is basically a conical shape with curving lines which indicates a chin. Tim Lockwood's personality is quite bland and conventional. Therefore, the shirt he wears is a pale, greyish b
