Today we had a production meeting in class, which really helped to develop and evolve our ideas into more. We were thinking about what ideas could fill a whole newspaper page, what ones were limited, where the pages would go in the 12 page spread and we even started to write a first flat plan. Here is myself and alex working on the rough draft flat plan for the newspaper.
From the production meeting we gathered that we needed at least 4 more ideas if we were to even start filling up all the pages substantially. Some ideas we had were good but we soon realised even with a lengthy article they would not fill up a whole A3 newspaper page. In the end after we (the team leaders and the quality control team) had a meeting, we set homework for everyone to come up with atleast 1 more fresh idea by Monday so we had enough ideas, it is better to have too many ideas than too little.
After narrowing down the ideas from the board activity yesterday, we saw that we only had 7 ideas in total that were substantial.
These ideas written up were:
1) Tim's wikipedia world tour game, we thought this could be a fun way of academic learning which teaches media A2, we just need to relate it as such.
2)Interviews of upcoming media pioneers, and the zeitgeist forecast of media now and in the future
3)Article on technical advancements in the media, for example the move from Myspace to Facebook, BBC iplayer etc, perhaps with a relevant crossword
4)History of music remixes, with music, visuals, videos
5) Character profiles - Simon Panrucker (this would go on the double page spread)
6) Common mistakes made in the media A2 exam
7) media exam answers, brief exam outline, past papers and questions etc.
Plans for Monday 8th March
As you can see, we need a lot more examples and therefore more ideas should surface on Monday which we can collate and summarise. Hopefully we can then work on a second rough flat plan on Monday.
