street art and graffiti has become more mainstream in media be it in a positive and or negative way.

‘Teenagers are ruining this country’. I’m sure this is a thought a lot of you pension have thought but that's not the case. Street art, graffiti and the youth of east London. These subjects have become entwined over the past years which a lot of you may not like. Young people today have become more interested in fine art because of graffiti and with the increased popularity of street art and music artists like rudimental are using the Dalston Peace Carnival Mural in hackney in east London have shown a light on graffiti in a good way. Rudimental are not the only people that the youth of east London are watching and taking inspiration from artists like Cartrian who is a local resident to the east London borough of Leytonstone.

Street art and graffiti has been around for a long time. Teenagers from this generations and past generation have use graffiti as a way of expressing themselves. Some may say that graffiti is bad as it ruins the aesthetic of many areas in east London. Some may also say it makes the areas look trashy and or poorer because of that. The youth of east London may disagree with these statements. As many know youth clubs in East London have been closing for many years now. This leaves the youth of East London to their own devices as people who were in Youth clubs before close said it did keep them out of trouble. Since there is no other way for the youth of East London to express them self-many say that graffiti and street art is needed although it didn’t look very nice.                                  

Famous music Artists like rudimental use graffiti and street art in a positive light unlike the way it's betrayed in the media. Rudimental used the Dalston Peace Carnival Mural in hackney in east London for their album cover for their first album called Home. The use of street art on a album cover not only show how Times are changing and because of that street art and graffiti is now shown as acceptable album cover art it also shows people that the rudimental are born and breed in hackney and where is no better way of showing that other they showing something that has been a part of history in hackney since the 1980’s. Action like these are the reasons why graffiti and street art have been shown in a positive light over the past years. This just shows how graffiti sure be done, in a place where people approve and with great artist how know what they are doing.

“Street art is visual art created in public locations, usually unsanctioned artwork executed outside of the context of traditional art venues. The term gained popularity during the graffiti art boom of the early 1980s and continues to be applied to subsequent incarnations.” Be it good or bad, graffiti and street are here to stay if people like it or not graffiti is a way of expressing yourself and if we were to continue to charge minors for minor crimes like graffiti and street art they we are a community would continue to ruin hundreds of teenagers lives for years with criminal records and the only crimes that they committed was the crime of expression. Graffiti may not always look the best but we are have to agree that you would not like to see your grandson or granddaughter in jail for a petty crime like spray painting something. So when you call for harsher penalty on minors who do graffiti think about your little grandchild being jail. I’m sure that will change you opinion of the matter.

‘The government is wrong’ this is something that a young person is use to saying a lot. It is hard to understand why a bunch of old rich people get to decide what we young people do it’s just wrong. Street art, graffiti and the youth of east London. These subjects have become entwined over the past years. Us young people today have become more interested in fine art because of graffiti and with the increased popularity of street art and band like rudimental are using the Dalston Peace Carnival Mural in hackney in east London have shown a light on graffiti in a good way. Rudimental are not the only people that the us teenagers of east London are watching and taking inspiration from artists like Cartrian who is a local resident to the east London borough of Leytonstone.

Action like these are the reasons why graffiti and street art have been shown in a positive light over the past years and why like teenagers like me are also doing more.

Chocologs advert evaluation

                                             Chocologs advert evaluation

When it came to choosing a genre and what kind of advert we wanted to do it was very hard as we did not know what kind of advert we wanted to products. when we then talked as a group we all though the best thing to do was to do a advert for children of the ages of 8-12 both genders as me and desire both have younger brothers between those ages, so if we need to film with kids we both had kids we could film with. once we knew that the advert was going to be about children we then though about what kids liked and it was not very hard as being kids once before we know that kids love chocolate so we knew that was the right product to do our advert about. we wanted some funny parts in the advert about we did not know how to go about it so we asked our teacher for help to where we would put in humour. once we knew this we got to work doing the pre-production tasks we were able to go ahead and start producing our advert. We had chosen an advert over a music video as we had two choices and the reason for this is because we had done a advert for a previous project therefore was we knew what we had to do and it was easier for us to do also everyone in our class where doing a music video so we did not want to do what everyone was doing.

The purpose of our advert was for it to be funny so when the audience watch it they will laugh at it and will also remember the advert. Moreover the reason why we had decided that we wanted to include a child who was the same age as our audience is so when the audience watch the advert they can feel as if they can relate to what is happening in the advert. The advert was that the boy had sat down to do his math homework but was finding it hard to do it because he did not listen in class when the teacher was talking about the work, so when it came to him doing his work he did not know how to do it because he zoned out. Then he starts remember about a chocolate he had heard about, which magically appears on his doorstep. Once sees it on his doorstep, he has the chocolate and then rushes to go ahead and does his math homework without a problem and then ends up turning hyper and running around the park. The meaning of this advert was to indicate to the audience that everyone does zone out in lesson and doing homework can be very frustrating especially when you have come home after a long day at school however the part where the boy goes ahead and eats the chocolate, then runs around the park indicates to the audience that you need to have a break and it is okay if you go out to the park, but in general you need to de-stress and relax then do what you need to do such as your homework. Overall the purpose of the advert was to promote the chocolate called Chocologs to the audience in a way that the main target audience would be able to put them self in the same place as the actor and would make them want to buy the chocolate as they showed in the advert, if they wanted help with their homework they will have help if they eat the chocolate and as kids are gullible and trusting if will be easier for us to get them to buy it.

Overall I feel that we did achieve the purpose which was to entertain the audience with our humour narrative and I also feel that it is good for someone who may have had a hard day at school which would be the primary audience or stresses from work which would be the secondary audience which would be considered as escapism. When it came to doing the pre-production tasks and filming it was very easy in the content of that we had already done the documents, booking out cameras and filming for a previous projects so we were very familiar with what had to be done however I feel when it came to filming we did not stick to the storyboard. I have noticed in our previous projects we have always had a problem when it came to actually sticking to the shots that were written on our storyboard which meant that we would go ahead write a detail explanation in our evaluation as to why we did not use the storyboard. This is not the case. We do refer back to the storyboard however we usually have some sort of issue which means that we have to film in a rush due to something always happening which is bad management on our behalf but this just means because we are rushing to get the content filmed we do not refer back to the shots/angles which were written on our storyboard. I feel this was not right because if we were in the professional industry really filming an advert we would of had to make sure that we would refer to the storyboard because it would very unprofessional if someone was looking over the work and saw that in the storyboard for example there was one shot that was mentioned however in the actual media product there was another shot that was used.

As we were one of the groups who had filmed first it meant that we were able to use the editing suite when everyone else in the class was using the lesson time to film. However when it came to editing, we had uploaded and exported the footage and when it came to re watching the content it was all blurry. However when it was being filmed it was all in focus so we tried to change the sharpness and try to make the overall clips less blurry by using Google research and YouTube tutorials however this did not help with the way that the overall clips had looked. We had decided that we would go ahead and re-film the content. However this was a bit of a struggle due as the camera we used was not working very well so I had to get my older brothers camera to film the advert for the second time. Due to filming a second time in a round it meant that we were not able to use the college editing suite in order to edit therefore we had used one of our member’s laptop in order to edit as they had premiere pro which was the software that we were using. This meant that one member had to go to the others house in the half term and edit, then upload the video. I felt that all of this could've been avoided if we were just better with our time. One area I feel that we could've improved on was our strategy on how everyone managed what had to be done in the content of filming and editing. I don't feel that the roles were spread out as efficiently as I thought they could have been. I feel that the pre-production was sorted out right due to the fact that everyone had done two documents which meant all the pre-production was done very quickly however I feel if we sorted out who would do what more efficiency it would mean that we all could've got a turn to film and edit.

I feel if we had more time that we would be able to add more effects not only with the types of edits but with the sound effects that we want to add however because we were in a rush this was not possible and it would've been nice if it could've been done.

I was not personally involved in the filming aspect of the production due to the fact that we were using one of our members own camera meaning that we did not have to go ahead and get one from the college however we did live very far apart so the way we worked it out was that the two other members of the group would film and i would do all the editing. However I know when it came to filming the park scenes sometimes it would be a bit difficult as when we had to go ahead and film it the second round time it was raining so when we tried to merge clips together for the park scene it looked very weird because there was different lighting. The same happened with the other clips that we had filmed as we had used some bits from clips that we had previously filmed and because the sun was not out on the day that we had to film the second round time it was very hard in order to change the lighting . Therefore when we were editing on premiere pro we had to go ahead and change the lighting/brightness to make it all the same colour.

 

Feedback given back by Desiree's brother’s friend:

 

It was a good idea very reliable as I don't like to do homework and I usually stop listing in lesson

I like the music in the background

I like the way you have used chocolate because many children like chocolate

It was funny when he was running in the park and the women was looking at him

Liked the way it started in the beginning

Liked the logo for the advert

Overall i would say my main area for improvement and development would be to of had more editing time. Again like our previous projects i feel that we do not have enough time to edit due to focusing on filming too much or re filming scenes. This could be avoided if we had managed our time right and had a secure/final back up plan in case our original plan did not work out

 What would i add when it came to editing if we had any time left:

 A light bulb sound lighting up for humour

Different edits such as the transitions as there was only one main transition throughout the whole advert

Different sound effects and not just one that is generically used in many different humorous adverts

         

 

 

 

 

The podcast questions

The podcast questions -What does a hung parliament mean?

Hello, thank you for tuning in to my podcast. This episode we will be talking to the youth and how they think the 2017 General Election went and there opinions the leader of the parties and ask them what a hung parliament is.

 

Thanks for coming on my show Hamerdeep and Desiree.

Thanks for having us.

I'm going to be asking you some questions about what has gone on in the 2017 general election. And who are the winners and losers in your eyes and how young people like yourselves have got more involved in this election.

Do you know what a hung parliament is?

Well, A hung parliament is declared if no party wins an outright majority by securing more seats than all the other parties combined.

In the UK, a party must win 326 of the 650 seats to secure an absolute majority.

Since 1929 there have only been two UK General Elections that resulted in hung parliaments – in 1974 and 2010.

The General Election in 1992 saw exit polls predict a hung parliament but the Tories held onto a slim majority.

Do you think young people being more involved in the election changed the outcome of the election?

How are the winners and loser of the election in your eye?

As you know Theresa May did not get the  majority vote to become leader of the country so there will be another election soon, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?
