Shopping For The Photo Shoot

Today I have been working on how I am to present the trading cards. I created five cards initially to outline the concept. Each of these cards contained an image of a Cell Crew character, with a graphic illustration of a location, and then a science-related fact.

These facts will also extend to cover areas other areas of STEM and health. I felt that by providing a sentence which depicted the location of the Cell Crew this would ground the campaign in the region of Lancashire more. The card would also contain a fact section. This would be mainly science-related however facts from other subjects would be mentioned if they were considered relevant.

I had to conduct research into the sort of information that primary school children would be being taught in lessons throughout the curriculum. It was important that this was not too simplistic or complex for them.

I have print-screened these and included them within my report. Today I have also spent time shopping for props for the photoshoot. I considered the media calendar when discussing props. Therefore I purchased items such as bunny ears and Easter eggs.

There is still another whole media year until the hosting of the LSF, therefore I will need to consider ‘special events’ in the media calendar, for example Halloween, Easter, Christmas, New Year, which the characters could celebrate. The characters would be adaptable to different seasons, for example growing bunny ears, wings, devil horns at christmas etc.

This is also something which I will write about in my report; therefore I shall experiment with this tonight before taking print screens to place in my report. Tonight I will take a look at the different props I have purchased and photograph these, tomorrow I will them place these into a word document this will provide me with some more annotation to do.

This morning I printed out some of the email conversations I have had with people regarding the mascot and the creation of the Cell Crew. I will continue to go through my email conversations and print these out; otherwise I will have a backlog to content with. Today I also purchased plastic wallets so I will be able to place these into the file securely, to analyse both the quantity and quality of my research.

What next? I will spend the rest of tonight working on the T-shirts for the ‘people’ section of my report – these will be worn by the staff. I will then go back to my written report and ensure that every section is covered with some sort of visual.
