Pete Frazer

Pete Frazer was an examiner that came in to help us understand about A2, he taught us different ways in which we can blog to gain more marks eg. video our anwser, use prezzi etc.

He showed us some of the last years blogs which we all found quite fascinating, it was interesting to see different peoples perspectives on blogging and different perspectives of creativity. One video that struck out to me was the dance video, i found it very intriguing not only because it was different BUT it actually looked like a proffessional video. The use of camera angles, mise-en-scene, editing etc was perfect. They also used videos to record their anwser so they was in a room where they all sat down together read out the question and gave their different anwsers.

Another video that was shown was where when they anwsered their questions they used flash back images or mini clip to show what exactly they was talking about, this was quite impressive and creative.

From looking at this blogs it made me think outside the box and open my mind up to different ways of blogging.

Pete Frazer got us to talk about our project we did for AS which was blogging and designing a magazine. He asked us to create an island in which we will create images and writing to show how we felt our journey went whilst doing this. Many people had the same views on the different aspects. We deliberated about it in a class discussion, it got us to exercise our minds and understand why we found things hard and how we could help prevent that in the future.

Alot of class discussion went on about blogs and our opinions on the ones we viewed. It was interesting to see how different everyones mind worked, because not everyone agreed on the same thing as everyone else.

To round off our lesson with Pete Frazer we was asked to draw out our version of a english breakfast, we was shown videos from youtube on people explaining how to make one, Pete got us to watch that that video so we can understand that blogging with videos is just as sufficent.

Once we all created our ideal english breakfasts Pete pinned them up on the wall and each group explained what they had put on their plate. I think this was a way for Pete to show our individuality. There was a lot of similarities and mild differences.
