Yesterday we did performance first and we practised for the performance at that junior school in Wymondham. Also the TV ad groups practised the workshops they are going to do with the children. After Performnce we did half of Artefact. We got our Sketch books finally! Me, Holly and Hollie put some of our work into our new sketch books. Half way through artefact this woman called Jackie came to do a workshop with us. She talked to us about video journals and how to make one and other facts about camera's and she gave us lots of tips to help us. After lunch we looked at programmes like the peep show and x-factor, we looked at how formatted they are and how they use the camera's. After that we were able to use the camera's, we had to get in groups of three and film an interview like x-factor. I was the camera-man, Holly was the interviewer and Hollie was the interviewee. It was fun! :D
