Youtube video - Culture Show: S-U-A College
Recently at college, we created our own versions of the popular TV show The Culture Show. We interviewed some of the students and they gave us feedback about their opinion of the college. Although we had not a lot of footage, we ended up creating a good piece of work thanks to the editor Daedyn.

The Culture Show - Evaluation
Over The Culture Show period, i have learned:
COMPOSITION:
Composition is the placement of objects in the frame. This allows the Mise-en-Scene to be composed.
RULE OF THRIDS:
Rule of thirds is placing it along one of the four equally spaced intersecting lines. It is referred to as "the centre of interest".
LINES:
Horizontal lines: Stability
Vertical lines: Strength
Diagonal lines: Sense of Drama.
LOOKING SPACE:
Looking space is an empty space where the subject is looking/facing/talking. It is less constricted and is very important for giving the audience an awareness of space.
MOTION SPACE:
Motion space is an empty space on the side where the subject is moving or walking. (eg: height is the feeling of motion).
We have been using SONY A1 cameras with an XLR to film our culture show footage. We learned how to change the white balance. You do it by pressing P-Menu, Menu, Camera Set, White Balance then One Push. After, you press P-Menu, Menu, Assign Button, One push White Balance then Assign. Once we had filmed the footage we had time for, we edited it on Final Cut Pro. Final Cut Pro is an editing software which you can add voice overs, cut scenes, add effects and much more! When then made a beat for a backing track using Soundtrack Pro. Soundtrack Pro is the software we used to create the backing track for our video. We then used a program called motion to create effects for credits and the intro. Once we saved and finished off the video, we "attempted" to upload them onto YouTube.
The whole experience was great and i enjoyed it very much :)

A Day Out In Stratford upon Avon - Friday 22nd October 2010
Stratford upon Avon sight seeing bus:
On our tour of Stratford we stopped at many stops. The main of which were:
Halls croft, Shakespeare's birthplace ,Anne Hathaway's cottage and the new Stratford armouries.
We also went through the whole of Stratford town and as we were going round, we were listening to a woman who was telling us alot of useful information to help us know what we are looking at, where we are and many facts about the attritions and the town.
I think that the tour guide was very good because I learnt alot and found out many facts. It was also very good because the language could be changed to many different languages such as English, Italian, French, Spanish, Chinese, japanese, german and many more!
This attraction was very good in my opinion and I recromend it.
Shakespeare's birthplace:
The second attraction we went to was Shakespeare's birthplace. This half-timbered building in Henley Street, with its extensive ground to the rear, was bought by Shakespeare's father, John, probably in two stages (in 1556 and 1575): there is good evidence, though, that he was a tenant of one part, if not both, from at least 1552. This is the house where Shakespeare and his brothers and sisters were born and brought up.
We walked around the house an spoke to many of the staff dotted around the house who of which told us about each room the were in and what the Shakespeare family would do un there.
I think that the tourism was also very good and again I learned a lot from this trip. The tourism was also very good on this trip because the staff were dressed up in shakespearian style clothing. This helped the tourists come alive and got me very interested. This made me paint a picture in my mind of what it would be like in them times.
In my opinion, I think that the both of the attractions were very good but if I had to pick a favourite it would be the tour bus. This is because it was a good, fun and interesting experience. I also did like the Shakespeare's birthplace but I had never been on an open top bus before and the birthplace I had been to many things similar to the birthplace.
Overall, the day was a great day out and I enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully we can do something like it again.
