Recce - Reconnaissanse Task

Me and my colleague Becky Breeden-West carried out a Recce. This involved carrying out 'reconnaissanse missions' within the school, to find a place which we could use to produce and direct a media product for the item we are featuring in our advertisment. We investigated the schools Main Hall which has an array of professional lighting equipment. Also, we investigated our specialish drama room, which also has specialist lighting equipment. Here are our results.

Interview with Steven McLean - The creator of Cloud 90

Here is an interview with Steven McLean, talking about his inspirations and how he made his table Cloud 90. -(Filmed Tuesday 20th March 2012, By Me)

Roles In Unit 3

The group i have been assigned to is made up of 2 people, those two people consist of myself and Becky Breeden-West. We were asked at the beginning of the Unit to assign roles to each person in the group. This was so each person could concentrate on different aspects of the task in hand to improve the flow of production. In a meeting, myself and Becky decided which roles to share and would best suit each person.  Here is a list of the roles which we assigned each other:

Myself: 

• Co-Producing and Co-Directing
• Editing
• Filming (Shared) 
• Creation of props and material
• Creator of initial idea(s)
• Recces

Becky Breeden-West:

• Co-Producing and Co-Directing
• Filming (shared)
• Development of ideas
• Recces
• Risk Assessment 
• Presentation of ideas.

The reason behind our choice of roles

We decided to choose these roles for each other as we both have different specialities in the creation of media products. For example, i have a good level of skill at editing film clips on iMovie, so i would be the person to achieve a good quality of edit. On the other hand, Becky has a great knowledge on how to develop initial ideas to make them as good as possible. We both have good knowledge on the use of cameras and other equipment, so we decided to share the roles as we would work better as a team in this situation. 

Working Title - Cloud 90

In this Unit. we have been given the task of creating an advert for a product which a technology student, at our school, has created.


For our first assignment we have been asked to create a name for the product which we will be advertising. To begin the task, i set out to take photos of both of the products so my colleage and I could compare the aesthetics, pros and cons of both of the products. Looking at both of the items, me and Becky both decided to choose the table as the design is modern, stylish and very contemporary. Another reason was that as a group, we do not have a great knowledge on the subject of Bicycles, so the Bicycle Seat Tester was not the selection for us.
We have decided to call our product 'Cloud 90.' 


We chose to give it this unique name because the table gives the illusion that the draw and sections of the table, are all floating. Resembling a cloud. With the table also being white, this links to a cloud. But with the inspiration from the phrase 'Cloud 9', meaning heaven, this links to the table due to the resemblence of a cloud. The white colour suggests that it is a 'heavenly' product. The '90' also abides by the angle of the corners as the table is made up of many rectangles and its block-like aesthetics.

This is the product we will be advertising.

We decided not to use the saddle tester because we felt that the design of the table was more practical and iconic. Shared between us, we do not have enough knowledge about bikes to have an opinion. Due to my knowledge in the technology department and woodwork, i inputed my opinions on both of the products and suggested that the use of the table in our advert was the correct route to go down.

This is the other product we could have advertised.
