Group Tasks Checklist

This checklist was filled in when we first started the project. This gave us good organisational skills because it helped us know what pieces of work needed completing by whom. It also helped us develop our teamworking skills because we communicated when asking who's doing what, whether or not it's completed and what they've done at the moment. This is our checklist below:

Editor's Note

In this piece of work, I used Microsoft Word. This work was part of the Magazine Project we completed in teams. I was the Writer and Editor.

Editor’s Note:
This is just to say a big thank you to all our faithful audience who have stuck by to witness the amazing 14th issue of WDK Sports. This is also to say a big thank you to Lauren Mayne: Graphic Designer and Firdowsa Jama: Page Layout Artist. This magazine wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for their desire for perfection to make this the very best Sports and Leisure magazine available for 13-16 year olds.
                              Many Thanks,
                                   Khadijat Oyeleye

Horrible Histories Proposal

This is my first ever Media proposal. To produce it I used an already existing TV show as a template (Horrible Histories) and pretended that this show never existed; instead, I was the one creating it and proposing this idea. The font I used was Courier New: traditional proposal writing font. This is my work below:

Media Production Proposal
Group names and contact details:
KnockOut Productions
Khadijat Oyeleye

Project title:
Horrible Histories

Type of Video
A funny and gruesome insight to historical facts and figures
30 minutes long
Every Monday evening
It broadcasts at 6:15 pm
You will be able to watch it on CBBC- Children’s British Broadcasting Cooperation



Purpose of Product:
To approach history which is normally seen as boring with a fun yet interesting approach that will appeal to the younger generation.
Content:
-   Songs sung by historical figures such as Cleopatra and Henry the 8th which teach about different aspects of history in a fun and interesting way.
-   Stupid deaths feature: short explanations of ‘stupid’ deaths that happened to historical figures.
-   Different themes in every episode
-   A puppet presenter (Rattus Rattus- a rat)
-   Historical Wife Swap- An entertaining short documentary feature which is a twist on modern wife swap.
-   Same opening sequence in form of a catchy song.
-   Short animated openings to each section of history e.g. the ‘Measly Middle Ages’.
-   Same actors/actresses but dressed differently every time.
-   Same closing sequence in form of a catchy song.
Target Audience:
Girls and boys aged between 8 and 14. They should enjoy history, love comedy, and enjoy the gruesomeness or all three. They should like songs and entertainment and just generally having a good time. They should also love finding out new things and they should have an open mind.

Horror Movie


To make this video I used Adobe Premiere. I imported video and sound files and I used the in and out points to select which parts of the clip I thought were relevant to my end project. I also used visual effects like lightning to make it seem scarier and more real. I used some sound and visual effects to allow smooth transition between clips and audio. I also used more than 3 audio files to make it more interesting. Overall, I am very proud of my work.

Get the Look

This piece of work is a work in progress and I used Photoshop to create it. I used Masking and I duplicated the layer of an image and filled it with a different colour to create a shadow effect. I used shapes to draw the target audience (young women) in more because the shapes I used were hearts which appeal more to feminine girls/young women. At the moment I only have two dresses and a few accessories to go with these dresses so girls/young women who prefer the 'dressy look'.

This is the improvement of the work above:
