Radio Play Script: Second Draft
The Stranger
This is the story of a teenage girl whose life was going smoothly.
Her name was Lauren and she was always on the computer.... in the daytime, after school, she was in an Internet cafe' and in the evening she was at home. If she had homework from school or something to study, she was used to do everything at school or late in the night.
One day she was in the Internet cafe' ( sound effect of a crowd place and someone typing something at the computer) (the noise of a crowd and of a door that opens and closes frequently goes through out the story) when she signed up on a website that changed her life. That website was "FACEBOOK". while Lauren was using Facebook one of her friends entered in the cafe to greet her.(sound effect of a door that opens)
Friend: "hi darling are you Ok?"
Lauren: "Yeah"
Friend: "What are you doing?"
Lauren: "Ooh I am using Facebook....I just signed in.....I think you too have to join it"
Friend: "Yeah maybe...but not today...you know some people, and I repeat, some people spend some hours for studying."
Lauren: "Ok sweetie bye" "go and study!" ( sound effect of a door that opens and closes)
After a while she started having many friends on it.
That day she received a friend request from someone who claimed to be her friend. She accepted the request.
He wrote her sweet things and liked it.
Lauren: " Ooh this guy is so sweet! No one have ever been so nice with me!"
She believed all his words. (there is a pause: the sound of the crowd and the of the door stops)
One day he decided to meet her........in his house.
When her friend heard it she continued telling Lauren: "Don't go, you don't really know who he is ..Don't go...".
Every time her friend said like this Lauren always replied saying " don't worry...", and at the end her friend quitted.
But she like him and trusted him so much that she decided to go.
That day she left home in time. She entered in his house ( slowly the door shuts) Bang!!.........and never came out.

English oral task for functional skills
I have prepared this presentation on my work on 'artifact'. my task was to design the Cd covers for a new band. To do these I had to research on how to to design the Cd covers. I looked up on two different examples on process of designing Cd covers.
The first Cd cover on how to make a Cd covers:-
* need to scan or image preparation.
*can do cropping, resizing and converting RGB color.
*to make more creative could do like custom illustrating, retouching or a silhouette and later do typesetting.
*make plans and settings for Cd covers and finally make hard copy proofs to the digital proofers while mailing.
*the final touch is the finishing package of Cd covers and need to to be send to the target audience.
The second Cd cover is to:-
*using different visualisations on creating Cd cover.(listening to different sounds and creating layers out of it.)
*contrasting different layers and used the drawings to develop into Cd over and strongly reflecting the initial graphic designs.
*using 3D style to make more attractive and strong for the target audience.
*the worksheet of Cd cover is made a separate copy and start doing 3D letters into photo shop and continue doing illustrating the Cd cover.
*the final touch is the Cd cover which has different colours according to the feel of the cd covers.
Making an exact Cd cover for the blog, I drew the pictures and background on a A3 paper roughly to see whether there could be more ideas and designs for my final Cd cover. I used the simple concept of white and black roses to make it like one is evil and other good. Later, I thought it could be better if I changed the concept of roses into opposites meaning the white rose to be devil and black rose to be angel. I used these methods to make my target audience notice that some people have the personalities like these roses.

12.music competition-American idol
From 12 performances I chose music gig and concert from the list and describe about the resources for the requirements to carry out the performance.
Firstly, explaining about the music gig and concert has the same genre due to music.
(Jay-Z will be performing at the staples center in Los Angeles,California)-
As a producer, I will be needing to settle all the facts and planning for the stage performance. I need to know how much tickets will sale so that we could prepare for people to see the performance. Likewise, seats for the people who are coming to watch the performance need to be known. The lightning and stage effects should be done properly according to the performance of the performer. The car parking should be hired for the people coming to see the performance and even food supplies so that the people could enjoy eating and even watching the stage performance.

'Evaluation of Unit 4'-Creating A Record
In creating the Batman theme music, the task was to make a serious, dark and scary tune. The character of Batman I created is soft but scary at the same time using different beats and melody. I used six instruments with different melodies on it. 'The record is a music underscore for the opening credits of Batman the Movie.'
Creating my batman theme I used various tracks(instruments) to see whether there may be some ideas out of it. The tunes and notes for the Batman theme needs to be darkish and with a scary concept to make it like the Batman movie.
Firstly, I decided to use different musical ideas by experimenting on different instruments like drums, pianos, trumpets and more. From the instrument sections, I used different tunes for my Batman theme opening and later made changes turn by turn. The instruments I used are moody jazz, electric attack piano, pop strings, silky strings, brass ensemble and Asian kit.
For my opening I used moody jazz(instrument)to make hard beats to create the opening of the scene. I used notes 1 to 6 with different beats and continued from notes 7 to 11,..,.. and notes 23 to 28 to make it seem like something dark or scary is happening. In second, third and fifth instruments, I started using from the same notes to continue the same melody on it. For my second instrument, I used repetitive beats in different notes to make a softer sound. For third instrument, I created the tunes with the keyboard using my own ideas from notes 3 to 36 to make hard beats so that it sounded rough. For the same instrument I used the repetitive tunes from notes 43 to 78 to make a melody in Batman theme. As for the fourth instrument, I used notes 19 to 29 with the keyboard making different beats with silky strings instrument. For the fifth instrument, I used the keyboard to make it more of a melody to make it sound more scary and dark and used repetitive notes from 3 to 77. Lastly, for the sixth instrument I used from notes 19 to 28 with the same notes going on and on to make it sound like a heart beating. Overall, there were many changes like cancelling the drum kits and bass instruments and adding new ones.
The music for my batman theme is not so dark and scary but has little soft tunes with loud trumpets which sounds like marching beats. As the 'Gotham City' scene begins the ending tune for my opening theme is soft to loud beats to make it startling and scary. As for the ending tune for my Batman theme the tune has a continuous melody but at the same time gets softer and softer until the music is stopped and finished.
It was fun learning Logic 8 and at the same time difficult because it was my first time and I had never learnt to use the instruments. I even had fun using it as there were so many instruments in the computer with different beats and notes. Using logic 8 I learnt how to make tunes and melody and different kinds of notes and music theory. Creating the batman movie introduction there were difficulties in making the darker concept. Overall the theme was fine but if I had made it a little more scary and dark it would have been a better theme.
