Cramba things at the moment :)

Last week in our groups we had to choose:

- between performing in the Junction rehearsal room or in the square outside the Junction and in front of Cineworld.

For this we decided not to do it in these places as the amount of people and money we wouldn't get or rase here, so we decided to do the performances in cambridge at market square near the market.

- organise costumes, choreography, and publicity.

we thought about making our clothes really bright and outstanding, so we get more noticed when playing, also we thought it looked really good with the Samba theme

- come up with a name, a logo, a bannerand posters, etc.

We came up with a name being "CraMBa" as its 'Cram" from our group, then 'Ba' from samba!

the logo was made by matt, which came out really well, then later on me and katie made posters which came out nicethis is the poster that i made my self , using photoshop.

Samba - cambridge research project

Samba is a Brazilian dance and music genre, when the samba is going on, the way the band member interact with each other is they use signals to each other, quite like sign language, using there hands, facial expressions and maybe even a whistle some times, as it’s a high pitch sound which you could hear easily when the band is playing. Usually the person who signals all the instructions is the main person at the front, leading the band, he/she uses there hands mostly in different ways to show what to do next, they could put a thumbs up, wave there hands in the air, and more things like this.

The Band encourages their audience really well to be involved in what they do, they are all very enthusiastic in the band when it is going on, they jump up and down, they sway there selves side to side in a bubbly, fun way, they clap there hands. This is a good way to make the audience want to join in and be a part of the samba band. With what they wear are bright colours in there clothes, so this attracts the audience with eye catching objects.

The arrangement in this video is placed out really well, thee girls are mainly on the light instruments which make the higher pitch noises, with them being at the front, whereas the men are on the big bass drums, which are loud and very deep instruments, and they stand mainly at the back of the stage.

In this video they are all outside, so there is not any light effects, just the natural sun light out side, although that is not as good as if it was inside with good lighting, its still be well don’t, as there all wearing brightly coloured clothes which looks really good.

Todays Plan.

Todays plan is to promote my campaign, show people about it and talk to people too. today ill be going in to town first to see what people i can talk to, and see what information they have to say. after that as our audience is meant to be 16-19 year olds ill go around the college for a while and see what the pupils here have to say about the campaign.

The things ill discuss with people is to see if they have already given blood. To see if there for the giving blood, or against it. and if there against it ask them why they are, and see if i could maybe change there thoughts on it. another thing is see who has given blood already, and if they would do it again.

the way ill promote my campaign is in the nicest an formal way possible, as i think people would much more appreciate it as if i just spoke about it really boring and dull, they wouldn't be interested to talk to me.
