Pitches and Decisions

In media, we worked as a group to discuss the different ideas we should do for our campaign project. We have first dicussed the topic we would be performing to the pupils. After the visit from the school, we gathered some information about what the pupils like and their different concerns. The main one were bullying, strangers and racism. We felt that bullying was often presented to the pupils too much so we decided to doo something different. Racism was a very sensitive issue to perform to children at that age. Stranger Danger was something different that concerns both pupil and parents so we decided to go with it.
When in partners, we came up with different ideas that would backup our performance for the campaign. Faduma and I came up with:
· Posters/leaflets – it is always there to remind them and with a central character that’s easily recognisable to the pupils.
· Badges – they can carry it around with them to remind them, which also create awareness to the general public about what we are campaigning against. With the badges, it would avert potential dangers of being approached by strangers.
· Storybooks – after we read storybooks to the pupils, they really enjoyed them and after asking them questions about the books it really stuck to their mind so I feels that it would remain with them if we present a storybook to them.
We all had a chance to present each of our pitch. The final idea were to create badges, posters/leaflets and storybooks. I was assigned to work with Faduma for the storybook and the leaflet. Hopefully it would be completed in time for the performance.
