WORLD WAR 1 PROPAGANDA POSTER - WOMEN EDITION


As part of commemorating the 100 year anniversary of World War One, this is my war propaganda poster. 
This particular poster depicts the style of posters that communicated support for the men at the helm of women. 
 Women had a great part in helping the war effort and were treated more as equals after the war ended.

WORLD WAR 1 PROPAGANDA POSTER


As part of commemorating the 100 year anniversary of World War One, this is my war propaganda poster. Millions of these were scattered around the world in order to gain men to join the army and fight. The posters were appealing but didn't tell the whole story. This is my tribute, RIP.

Humpty Dumpty and Goldilocks - Why?

My group and I chose to merge our ideas of the Humpty Dumpty rhyme and the Goldilocks story for our groups piece. We used the Humpty Dumpty rhyme as it features a real climactic moment when Humpty falls from the big wall. We merged that with the idea of Goldilocks becoming a murderous outlaw and Humpty Dumpty becoming her victim. Goldilocks was used due to the fantastic story with a hidden message, don't steal or intrude. I think that merging these two stories together made for a comedic yet serious final product, plus the stories were two personal favourites of mine growing up.

Unit 5 Music


My song

The song I’d like to use is called ‘Turn Down For What’
Who sang it? DJ Snake and Lil Jon

Ideas Why: Simply a crazy mimic of the video used. Use certain elements of the video and attempt to recreate them. The bright colours and insane situations would be a real a real challenge, meanwhile being incredibly fun.

Music Videos


Performance: A performance video shows the artist or band performing in a live type of format. This feature generally consists of members of the band or the artist lip syncing to their own song. It is a common feature in music videos and is low budget. However despite the low budget approach is helps the audience feel as though they are at a live show watching them. Here is an example.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPvuNsRccVw 

Narrative: This feature generally has the song as the story background, telling the story with words while something is happening on screen which correlates with it. This can be done by using actors or animation. Here is an example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqMSqLX9vvY

Conceptual: Conceptual videos are based around a single idea or concept and are generally quite different, even surreal for the audience. This unusual content is an attraction to many consumers, which draws them in. Here is an example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kemivUKb4f4&list=PL994B215A02BC2DFE

Humpty Dumpty Interview Questions


Humpty Dumpty Interview Questions:

Q.  What did you feel like when you heard Humpty Dumpty had died?

A.  Absolutely devastated, one of the biggest inspirational figures of this cruel world we live in just gone, forever. I know many will agree with me when I say that Mr Humpty Dumpty brought hope and joy to our lives.


Q.  What was your reaction when you heard Humpty was assassinated?

A.  I was absolutely furious, how could someone want to murder a completely innocent and joyful man who was just trying to bring peace and happiness to our nation? Well, I speak on everybody’s behalf when I say that the crimes committed by the infamous outlaw Miss Goldilocks will NOT go unpunished. When we find her, she will face a lifetime imprisonment sentence to Avalon State Penitentiary, the country’s most highly secured prison!


Q.  What is to happen now, what with all the riots and public outrage?

A.  I think it’s fair to say that the riots will eventually draw to a halt, as we can honestly understand the anger of the public, and we too feel the same way. However, I warn the public that if it continues, the riots will be most dealt with severely, I daresay.

Goldilocks Strikes Again - Synopsis


Goldilocks Strikes Again - Synopsis:


The mysterious serial killer known as “Goldilocks” has unfortunately striked again, and this time she is suspected by everyone to have assassinated poor old Humpty Dumpty. What’s left of Humpty Dumpty’s body is found on the cold concrete ground, utterly obliterated, with yoke splattered everywhere. Firstly it is believed that Humpty Dumpty fell from a steep brick wall and that the king’s horses and kings men couldn't put him together again. But the real story is that all of the king’s horses and men fail to save Mr Dumpty, whose skull had been completely destroyed by the severe sniper head-shot fired from the infamous outlaw: Miss “Goldilocks”. The world is absolutely devastated by their loss of Mr Humpty Dumpty, and so riots start to break out across the country. A local police officer is interviewed, telling the camera/reporter that this is not her first crime she has committed and that if she is found she will face a lifetime sentence to imprisonment due to the unforgivable crime that she dared commit.

Goldilocks Strikes Again - Audience?


Goldilocks Strikes Again – Audience?

Who is your audience?


The News/Police bulletin is aimed at anyone who has been affected by the incident. It is formal and sophisticated so it could be aimed at adults, elders or children. It will be on a public Free-view channel so everyone has access to it. It will use facts, figures and statistics so that it will appeal to young adults and elders would appreciate it more than younger children. However, this does not limit them from watching it by any reason.
