Information about slr cameras

I produced a power point ginving information about slr cameras and ginving an insight into the developmet and key functions, I have also uploaded the powerpoint.

Findig out information about Gluttony

I researched information about gluttony using information and images from the internet. I used useful links and websites from www.google.com and selected imformation and changed the key information into my own words. I presented the findings using a power point format as I felt that this was the best way to present my findings.


Choosing each seven deadly sin

Our group had a meeting to decide that as thier where a large amount of seven deadly sins and there where seven memebers within the group it would be a good idea if each person selected a deadly sin and gathered information about it and make a powerpoint presentation to present it. The deadly sin that i choose was 'Gluutony' as felt that the title of it standed out and made me quisitive to find out more information about it to put on a performance.

Lesson log

In todays lesson we divided ourselves into two different groups, which we had a choice to choose. I felt that this particular group would be best for me, As thier were two peoples ideas as a group we thought that it would be best to join 'mime' and also the seven deadly sins together. I researched what the seven deadly sins was all about and got information about each if the seven deadly sins.

pitching our ideas

After we then gathered all ideas and then made notes on each person in our rough books and then made things that they needed to develop and then give them a rating of each persons general idea.
However as some people did not attend the lesson we had to continue it next lesson so that everybody's ideas got an chance, we also recorded each persons idea as we were able to look back on what each person said.


Starting record

Around an month ago we were introduced to the new topic record, after having practise of photography with the last lady(you can look through some of the work through my blogger). We got given a sheet of paper which we had to fill in separately to come up with an idea of a performance which can be recorded through video or photography.



I came up with an idea and did basic exploring of what I need to cover within certain areas of the performance.
