Companies Involved and Their Logos

Here are the logos that we had to use for the videos that we produced. We needed to credit each of them somewhere within each video, as each of them contributed in making this project work.

























































The Junction had asked us to make them some promotional videos and also a documentary about making the promos and working with the Junction, Bournemouth and Skillset. Bournemouth have worked with us to help us to get good videos out of this project and to get a new experience from getting feedback and help from the students there. Skillset have worked with the Junction to get the project up and running and they have funded the Junction with the money to make it all work. Long Road has worked with us through our teachers, helping us to get the evidence that we need for the project and to get project the done efficiently. They have also supplied the equipment, as well as Parkside have also supplied some equipment and this has all helped to make sure that the project works well.

Feedback From Simon(Junction) - Documentary Rough Cut

After we completed the rough cut version of our documentary, we asked others to give us feedback on what we had produced. We started by getting feedback from the class and then we managed to get feedback from Simon who has commissioned us. Below is the feedback that he gave us based on the rough cut that he saw.

"Visuals looks clear and mature.
Audio sounds good.
Interviews with the students, Junction staff, lecturers interviews. More, e.g Nick would be great, Sandra at Long Road, Jonathan at Bournemouth for interviews.
Demonstrations of students working alongside Junction and Bournemouth staff, Some good footage but more of the Samba and CRaM conference would be great.
Interviews with students who are going to Bournemouth and how Long Road has developed the link. Needs more of this
Information for other consortia on how to schools and FE colleges should engage with employers.
More on: students saying how important this is to the success of diplomas, at the end of the day this is why students do diplomas!

SkillSet and The Junction

We have been commission by the Junction complete this project but it is more complex than just a commission. SkillSet describes themselves as 'the Sector Skills Council for Creative Media'. They have offered help the Junction by funding this project and they want to help us and others to get a good experience for the future. They have worked with the Junctions head of learning and access, Simon Bates, and organized for us to work with Bournemouth university and their students.






This experience is partially aimed to show us an example of a possible career path from this course and then on into work, or then from university, on to work within the media. It gives us the experience of working with employers within the industry, to see what the work is like and to see what we could go on to do. It gives us a lot of opportunities and experience that may put us ahead when it comes to getting a job or just when studying in university.

Junction Promotional Video Request

We have been asked by the Junction to make a promotional video for their event the 'Fiver' and we are also being asked to make a documentary on the whole precess of making the promotional videos. Simon Bates is the head of learning and access at the Junction and he comes down to Long Road each week to see how we are getting along with the project and to tell us what he thinks and wants from the videos.

I am working on the documentary and I spent about a week working on some ideas for it and then speaking to him about what he thought of them. He said that he wanted the video to show a lot about how the Junction has worked with the Creative and Media group and how each person involved has found the experience with working with them. We have had a few ideas for this and I want to make it quite simple so that I can meet of his demands.
