Aritcle one.

This article is the first article I made, I had chloe along side helping me with it too, we both came up with all good ideas to put on to this project. This took us about 2 lessons to make which is about 3 hours, but a good 3 hours we were working hard on. We both got all the photos and chose the ones that looked best, and the best photo that would go well with the article, once we done all that we put them together to make them look good and placed them on to the article. After we did this we thought out what to write about on the article, which took us one lesson to do, but in the end we came up with a good piece of writing to put on it.

Artifact

The Chüshingura Drama Parodied by Famous Beauties: Act Two, c.1795
Kitagawa Utamaro (c.1756-1806)

I chose this art design as one of the artifacts because I thought it looked pretty different in the way its just two chinese people wearing there chinese clothing looking at one another. It's got quite dull colours in the photo but in my opinion it give out that old look effect.

15th march - how much of this have i done?

So far I have been put into a group where we are researching fashion and clothing, we had to research a practitioner or a small company. When I was researching for what I needed to find, chloe, who is a member of the group I'm in, found this small fashion company called 'Pearl Alpaca' so I started helping her on the research of it too. From this company I had helped make an article for the Scene research.

Researching the Junction.

Things that we can remember about the junction:

1:How many performance spaces are there? What are each of them used for?

There are 3 different performance spaces. There is junction 1, which is a standing space capacity of up to 1050 spaces. Next there is Junction 2, a versatile standing or 220 seats auditorium. Lastly Junction 3 of a 20m x 10m studio space.

Junction 1 is mainly used for club nights or where they have bands performing with lots of people in there, they evan had our freshers ball in there which was really good as it was a big place. The junction 2 is where it has theatre performances or dance performances, then junction 3 is basically a little workshop used for people to rehearse performances etc.

2: What target audiences do they cater for?

The junction caters for all different audiences at all different ages. At the theatre they mainly to the performances for all ages so evan for a families to come along to but then unless its a stand up comedy for adults it would usually be for the people 18 and over. When they use Junction 1 they will usually have bands playing, e.g. fiver night, its usually people 14 and over going to watch it, then also if its just used for a club with alcohol and music, then again it will be for 18 year olds and over.

3: What do they do/offer that is different to other venues in cambridge?

Preperation for the junction

Tomorrow we are going to be speaking to a number of staff in different roles. In our group we must come up with questions to ask the staff at the junction.

we are covering the following areas:

• Job roles and responsibilities
• Job satisfaction
• qualifications
• And lastly, Training (to be able to do the job and to continue to do the job - continued professional development.

My 3 questions I am going to be asking the staff are:

1. What is your job here at the junction?
2. Do you enjoy working and being here at the junction throughout your working days?
3. What qualifications did you need to be able to get this job?

I think these 3 questions are pretty good, as I know I will be receiving helpful feedback from who ever I will be talking to Tomorrow.
