Shakin Moo Campaign

This cram lesson we were working at parkside. This moring we were discussing about what kind of questions we could ask Chris that owns the shop Shakin Moo. We had come up with a lot of ideas such as branding. This meant what type of colours to use so when you look at it straight away you know that its Shakin Moo. We said what type of customers are they tring to attrack. Also we went to Shakin Moo and talk to Cris about making a slide show on the tv he has and some cool music t go with it.



He is also aiming for Primark cutomers as well as students. We disscused how we could attrack more people and make it advertising more better and effective. Like Cris said we need it to come alive. Shakin Moo's strenth is that its local. Its not far away from customers. They do offers and deals like if you go so many times you get a stamp and when you get 10 you get a free milkshake. When you get 20 you get a t-shirt. I think this is really affective because if more people get t-shirts then while they are walking around they are advertising it more.



After lunch we got into groups and had to disscuse about what and how we are going to make a leaflet to advertise Shakin Moo. We also came up with some really good ideas such as samples of milkshakes for 20p each. We said to charge 20p each because some people take advantage of free stuff. Also we came up a slogo for the samples "try before you buy"

global warming blog

Today in cram we change topic from last week. We are now doing an advert about saving the planet. Me and Hannah choose to do global warming because we thought that it was the most thing that could destroy the Earth. We first brain storm our ideas on to paper and then we went on photo shop and made our advert. We discuss what colours stood out and look eye catching. On photo shop we made the picture as if as the world was coming to an end.





It looks very effective and does send a message to your brain. We then had to present it to the class and had to write a 3 minute speech on paper. I was really quite scared and nervous But in the end i enjoyed it. Hadids group won. He put a lot of detail into his speech. Also he explain all of hes points. Today was ok and cant wait until the next lesson.

Home work


Today in creative media we were split up into two groups. One of them was to do with campaign and the other was acting and filming. I was in the campaign group. The frist thing we did was that we got told a little bit of what campaigning is. We look very quickly in the yellow pages book to see what advert stood out and why. Like did it have a catchy title or did the colours stand out so it caught your eye. Next we then were put into groups of two's and three's. I was working with Hannah. We worked very well as a team but others didn't.




We then had to create our own advert, flyer about food using photoshop. I was realy glad that we were using photoshop because I realy know it well from ICT at manor. Me and Hannah came up with realy good titles and a good logo which we both agreed on.





Then we had to take a photo of our food that we are serving or advertising. This was realy fun we got to make hot chocolate. We used our own ideas to get a realy good angle camera shot of the drink and food. We also added a magazien in there to make it look more realistic.





Im looking forward to next lesson.
