2. What did I do this week?
• This week I worked on improving some
of my previous blog posts by adding
more information and images to make
my posts much more interesting-adding
these visuals and extra information has
made my work much more appealing to
the eye and interesting to read.
• I also worked on developing my ideas
of what I want my BSR opening to be
about-I done this by looking at news
headline stories to look for inspiration
and by doing random creative exercises
to create funny storylines and random
CD covers-these creative tasks helped
me to think more outside of the box
about what I might want to do.
3. My Album Cover
To get this album cover I used
various random websites, I used the
random article wikipedia page to
get the band name, I used flickr for
the image and a random quote
selector for the title of the album. I
then had to rearrange all of this into
the composition I wanted it to make
it look real and interesting. I
enjoyed this task as it allowed me to
be creative.
I also think that the whole random idea was useful as it made
me think of ideas I would never even consider and made me
work with ideas that I may think are impossible to work with
first. I am quite happy with my cover and I think it has a
4. Post Secret
• I then looked at this website which has pictures with little
quotations on-these have been sent in from anonymous
people and some of them are comedic but some are very
serious and heart-breaking, I wanted to use these to see if I
could take someone’s confession and use it as a basis of my
BSR opening sequence.
Number One
This postcard is about
incest, it is saying that the
father is in love with his
daughter but is unable to
be with her as he is with
her mother (his wife).
This is very shocking and
a bold statement to make,
I could make a film about
his struggles and about
5. Number Two
This postcard is about a man
saying he will never know if
the baby his underage
girlfriend has is biologically
his or not, but if she had used
the rape test to find out he
would be in jail. This is
telling us indirectly that he
raped his girlfriend but she
does not know it.
I could use this especially as the girlfriend is underage and a lot of
BSR focuses on teenagers, it also contains many themes such as
broken relationships, abuse and parenthood as the mother is
underage-so what type of care can she offer to her child? I think
the setting could be in an area like Dagenham in an estate where
the girl does not have a lot of support-this will emphasize the daily
6. Number Three
This postcard tells the
secret that the person is
very insecure and
whenever they receive
compliments they believe
the person is lying. They
believe they will never be
good enough and I think
this is from a teenager
who lacks self esteem and
may suffer from anxiety
or depression.
This would be a good storyline for me as I could base it around a
teenager who is in school and struggles to socialise as they cannot
trust anyone, the theme mental illness could also be introduced if
the protagonist were to suffer from depression or anxiety because
