My feedback from my pitch:
James said it would be a good idea to do a video showing these locations around Bath to see how busy they are, what the atmosphere is like, etc. He also said I need to think about Video and what to do with it. I need to come up with a name and where it will sit on the website
Ed liked the colour coding and agreed that this is a good idea. Maybe do a monthly video thing instead of a weekly because I might run out of stuff in a week.

Possible Colours For Section
Today I went on to Adobe Kuler to come up with different colours for my website section.
These are some of the colours I think are good.
These are some of the colours I think are good.
 |
| I like the light red and green in this photo because its not to bright and is very similar to the Bath Chronicles just different colour but same lighting. |
 |
| I like these colours because they are also very similar to the Chronicle and there not to bright but very smooth colour. |
 |
| I like the blue in this photo because it is similar to the Chronicle, I also like the other colours because they are too very similar brightness to the Chronicle. |
 |
| These blues are a lot like the Chronicle and my section could be blue just like their paper but maybe a dark or light kind of blue. |
What I'm planning on doing today
Today I will be experimenting with colour trying to find one that matches Bath Chronicle or I might even try and make it look completely different so that it stands out more.
Then I will research different events around Bath to put in my section when finished.
Later or tomorrow I'll start sketching ideas for what it will look like.

Today we went out around town and took photos of text.
We then edited the text and mashed them up in Photoshop

Bath Chronicle has a lot of white space but The Guardian stretches out to the edge.
Week On Chronicle 17/05/15 - 23/05/15
On the week I was on Chronicle, I spent a lot of the time making galleries and rewriting articles. The most exciting part of the week was Tuesday. We went on the roof of Waitrose to film a hawk scaring off seagulls. That was the highlight cause I got to film and edit the video that went on the Chronicle.

On Friday and Monday we made galleries. On Tuesday we filmed and on Wednesday we edited. Thursday we did a few more galleries.
I really enjoyed my week there. I'd love to do it again. If I could change anything I would have done more outside work. We spent a lot of time sat inside doing nothing but galleries. I really enjoyed the work we did on the roof of Waitrose and would have preferred to do that everyday inside of a lot of galleries.
I felt a little nervous when I was told I was working with the Bath Chronicle and when the week began I was ok. by the end of it I was really happy that I was apart of it and took a lot of information away with me.
All the assignments throughout the week were very easy and nothing seemed to be do difficult. A few of the galleries to a while to put together but everything seemed fine.
One of the projects we were set was filming on top of the roof of Waitrose. We went to the shop and asked at the desk. They took us upstairs and we spoke to the photography who took the hawk photos. We then meet the hawk and went onto the roof. After 30 minutes of filming, we came downstairs to sit and talk again. We then recorded the interview with the hawk trainer. Then the next day we edited the footage and Alex put it on the website.
I never thought I could filming a hawk going over my head or film an interview. I learnt some very good life skills.
I acted very mature through the week. Never did anything weird or crazy.
I found it very interesting being part of the print industry. I learnt some really cool stuff and found out how they act towards each other and how the industry acts.
I think I will be a lot better in college at writing articles and editing.
The skills I think I am now better at our:
Team Work
Professionalism

My Work Today (How I Feel)
As the reflective posts on your blogs are currently a little under used I'd like you to start implementing a daily post with the following questions:
What I did today?
Today I was in a focus group and we were being asked questions about our ideas and then given feedback from our peers. We made blog post about what we had discussed and what our final idea was going to be.
What were the main three elements that helped me develop?
The focus group was alright but I felt confident about my idea and didn't need to change it much, but the feedback I got from James meant one of my ideas was not as good. The other three ideas he said were fine. It helped confirmed what I was thinking and what my final outcome became.
What did I struggle with today?
I would have preferred to be at a desk when writing notes because I find note taking difficult if its on my phone or any kind of tiny screen.
Was there a ‘what happens if’ in my day?
I thought of different ideas and what would have happened if I went down certain idea paths instead of others. Also what the outcome would be at the end.
Were there any eureka moments?
Today were not eureka moments but while I was on holiday thinking about what ideas to use. When I thought of something really clever about YouTube and acting (Two things i really enjoy doing), So that I thought was good cause I'm writing about something I enjoy.
How can I improve on today - tonight or tomorrow?
Focus harder, think more about my ideas and what I can do with them. Try and work better in a group, I found that I wasn't saying much or getting my point across very well.

Focus harder, think more about my ideas and what I can do with them. Try and work better in a group, I found that I wasn't saying much or getting my point across very well.
My Ideas & Focus Group
My three ideas are:
1) YouTubers from Bath: Reviewing different YouTube Channels around Bath that young people might be interested in.
2) Acting & other events around Bath: Short video touring around Bath showing all the different places you can do certain things like The Egg Theatre.
3) Social websites: Reviewing different websites around Bath and in the general area, encouraging young people to check them out.
To make these work I need to have them over a longer period of time. They all seem like one off things. I need them to be weekly or even daily. For example a Social Media Roundup of all the new social media trends and hashtags. I could talk about different places around Bath each week like The Egg or the Bath Abbey, etc.
I'd like to do 'YouTubers From Bath'
Here is a list of YouTubers from Bath who I could write about:
Charlie McDonnell
Cold Steel Games
MB & Homeland
Dominic Döring
And More
The acting idea is good and if I did choose that because my other idea didn't work then I'd probably do a video layout and share it around Social Media.
If I do decide to do 'Acting & Events' instead of 'YouTubers From Bath' it might be good idea for me to look at TEDx, they do events and conference.
Focus Group Feedback:
In the group, everyone said the YouTubers and Events ideas were a lot better than the other two. When James came round to ask what all our ideas were, he said the websites from Bath ideas wasn't very good because lots of websites made in Bath are business and not that appealing.
Everyone also said that the website idea could work if I have a reason why young people would like these. If I did find websites its probably best they be appealing to young people and not to adults or businessmen.
So overall I plan to do 'YouTubers From Bath', that will be my main idea. I will ask people from the college if they know of any other YouTubers from Bath. I'll probably make a survey and post it on the group to find out if there are any other YouTubers. I'll also do some Secondary research online to try and find YouTubers from Bath. Hopefully then I'll have a good amount of research to start writing.
