To start off the project we was made to research
what social action is. Social action is taking things on your own hand to
change things in your local community. We the was given the task to look at a project called #Iwill the project was all about social action all over Britain and it would share peoples stories and people success. For example I researched
on someone called Matthew Otubu who is involved in the #iwill campgain.in my
research I feel I could have done more than I did but I felt it was really hard
to find primary research due to most of the things was on the internet.in my
research I went on to look at local social action project I could have possibly taken part in later in the future, I looked at things like full effect
which was a film project for people from st anns took part in the film and t
was something to help the teenagers of st anns stay away from the streets. i
then did a PowerPoint presentation which I personally felt I didn't quite well
but to start off with I think I was very nervous to start off with but as the
presentation I became confident. From the feed back I got it was very similar I was
told that I was straight forward and covered all the important and key areas of
the project but I then also was told I came across a bit nervous. I think if I
was to do the presentation again I would make sure i'm well informed on what i'm
abut to talk about because I felt I first I wasn't sure on what I was doing to
say was going to be correct so I feel my main problem was preparation.
We then went to talk about how briefs are done we
covered up to seven different briefs. Before we met the client from the sumac centre we had to do some background research on what the sumac centre is all about. I found out the sumac centre is a centre for boys and girls where they go after school to take part in many activities like drawing and also get help with home work I also learned to sumac centre was a none profit campaign and is run by funding.
After we gathered research Dom from the sumac centre came to pitch his brief and pretty much told us what the sumac centre is about and what he would want us to do for him. as a class we was set to do a task of fund raising so we decided to come up with a promotional video but due to a lot of people availabilities the work load had to be slit up. to start of with I was meant to be in the group of people that was meant to go to the sumac centre but I just wasn't available on the days we was meant to be there. so I was set on a task to do another fund raising project of my own, I joined to group of Rebecca, Harry and Ronan where we decided as a group we would do a football kick up fund raiser together but when it came to agreeing a date as a group we was find it difficult to find time to do it because we had other commitments so I decided to do a fund raiser of my own.
For my fund raiser I decided to do a game of slaps I chose to do this because I knew people would enjoy it and it was something unique and fun so I made a poster and the entry for the game was 50p.I managed to raise £3.50 in all honesty I personally feel that wasn't good enough because I personally felt I could have done better.
if I was to do this unit again I think the first thing I would do is build a timetable to get things done because I was behind a lot of the time, I also think I would make sure I would get a better understanding on something because I think I didn't understand it at first but as soon as I got a better understanding I started to find things easier. the other thing I could have also done better is making sure I made more time but I know I was something that was out of my power but I think I could have done more to make it there for example because I had to babysit but could have made the effort to go to the sumac centre with my little brother.I also feel things could have gone better if everyone got together a made roles earlier because it slowed down the process of the whole project. The things that I did well in this project was really improvising because as the group decide to do things separate it was hard to find a new thing to do but then I figured out a way to fund raise, I decided to a fund raiser on a little game called slaps. which I felt worked well and really spread a message across because I was getting a lot of question on why I was doing the slaps game to raise funds.
all together I think I did a great job to get the message of the sumac centre across even though I didn't raise I much as I would have liked I feel I did a great job. in this projected I learned to a lot about blogs and how they should be laid out and I also learned about briefs and how they work and hopefully I can take this information I collected and add in to my day to day life one day.
