UAL UCAS Pro Forma
Kallum Sykes is applying to university to study creative media programs related to photography and graphic design. He completed his GCSEs at Tadcaster Grammar School where he enjoyed subjects like creative media and electronics. He is currently studying creative media at York College, focusing on photography and graphic design. After college, he plans to travel to build his photography portfolio, then pursue a university degree to further his career goals in these creative fields. Outside of school, he enjoys hanging out with friends, skateboarding, gaming, and has turned gaming into a part-time job. He believes university education will help him pursue his passions.
Evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of the student's research, planning, time management, and final product for a photo manipulation project on promoting York by train. Some strengths noted were that the research expanded the student's knowledge and inspired aspects of the final product. Planning helped the student determine what to photograph and how the finished product should look. Time was managed well for production work. Some weaknesses included researching unnecessary points and not exploring more fonts. The student's final product and an existing product both used a cloud and smoke effect to make the train appear as if it is flying, but the student's image promoted a company while the existing image was just a creation. The student likes how their reflection effect and color choices turned out for the image.
Production reflection
Kallum Sykes created a multi-layered digital image depicting a train scene in a picture frame hanging on a grey wall. He added realistic shadows and textures to elements like the picture frame, train, sky, and ground. Kallum cut out and arranged stock images to compose the scene, such as a train from a museum photo and landscape elements. He extended and customized parts of the image, like the railway tracks, to complete the scene within the frame. Kallum added floorboards and a skirting board using shapes and shadows to enhance realism.
Proposal
The student proposes to create a movie poster using photo manipulation for their final major project (FMP). They plan to take photographs of trains at the York Railway Museum and manipulate the images to promote a fictional movie. The student will evaluate their work weekly to identify strengths, areas for improvement, and stay on schedule.
Ideas and planning
Kallum Sykes plans to create three photo manipulated images of a train taken at the York Railway Museum. The first image will feature the train emerging from a hanging picture on a gray wall. The second image will show the same train against a sunset sky reflecting on water. The third image will depict the train emerging from clouds above a mountain landscape. Kallum has selected simple fonts suited for the audience and will use Adobe Photoshop, PowerPoint, and other software and resources to design and create the manipulated train images. Contingency plans include regular computer backups, use of alternate equipment, and working offline if internet or server issues arise.
Research
The population of York has increased 5.1% since 2011 to 208,200 people in 2017. The majority of residents are between 35-54 years old, with a median age of 38. Running is the most popular sport among 16-24 year olds. Mental health issues like depression and anxiety are on the rise in this age group. York has been designated a UNESCO City of Media Arts due to events like York Mediale that celebrate cutting-edge media.
Evaluation Music Video
The document provides an evaluation of the student's production process for a music video project. It summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of the student's research, planning, time management, technical and aesthetic qualities, audience appeal, and peer feedback. The student received generally positive feedback on the character design and video clips but could have improved with more transitions between clips and potentially color corrections. The student agrees more transitions were needed but not overly so and remains unsure about color corrections.
Pre-Production Music Video
The document provides guidance on visual planning and pre-production for a music video. It discusses pre-visualizing the concept through boards and storyboarding. A structural breakdown of the song sections is suggested to apply broad visual ideas to each part. Shot lists are also recommended to define the sequential visual elements that need to be filmed to bring the storyboard to life. The document stresses the importance of planning the visuals and their relationship to the music before filming for a more streamlined production process.
Production Reflection Music Video
The student created a character named Marshmello in Photoshop using the pen tool to outline the character in black. They added details like the shirt crease and a red balloon. For the animation, the student used the pen tool to create a background and animated Marshmello's arm moving from holding the balloon at waist height to holding it up high to appear as if flying. The student cut video clips to match the beat of the music, slowing some clips down to look better. They spent the most time on the end of the video to make it the best part.
Proposal Music Video
This proposal outlines a music video project for an audience aged 10-35 of all genders and social statuses. The student has learned Premiere Pro and Photoshop skills over the year and wants to create an EDM music video incorporating animation and editing clips to the song beat. Research will identify a suitable song and animation creation in Photoshop. No filming is needed as clips are already collected. The student will edit clips in Premiere Pro and evaluate the final work by analyzing strengths and areas for improvement.
Research Music Video
The document provides guidance for stage 2 of a research and experimentation process. It instructs the reader to research potential production techniques for their project by looking at a minimum of 3 related examples and collecting supporting materials. It also advises assessing whether techniques can be used or adapted. The reader is directed to explore conventions and genre characteristics for their chosen artist and consider fan preferences. Slides are included for documenting ideas with examples. The document then outlines two experiments - one involving simple animation and the other collecting footage and adding basic editing. Reflection questions ask which experiment elements will be included and what was learned from the process.
Evaluation
Kallum Sykes evaluated his product design project. His research involved examining existing video games to get ideas for techniques to incorporate. He looked at games targeted at his intended age range. For planning, he experimented with fonts and color schemes. While one game he created differed from his original plan, it provided learning. He acknowledges not managing his time well and wishing he could have added more details. His product was an infinite runner game like existing ones but with his own character selections and interactions. Strengths included unique sound effects and music, though he could have created more sounds. He wishes to have improved the simple background. The audience appeal came from balancing simple designs with complex animations.
Audio pro forma
The document is a story about a 4 year old girl playing with toys in a hallway while her parents are in another room. The lights suddenly go out and a strange figure appears at the end of the hallway, causing the girl to scream. When the parents come to check, everything appears normal again. However, the figure reappears and this time, when the parents check after another scream, the girl has disappeared.
Research comparison pro forma
Primary research involves collecting data directly through methods like questionnaires and surveys. It provides personally collected information directly related to the study, but may be unreliable or outdated. Secondary research uses existing research sources like the internet or libraries, allowing time and cost efficiency while accessing extensive existing data, but requires crediting other works and may not always be easy to find. Audience research examines who uses a product by interviewing or surveying specific audiences, obtaining truthful answers while reaching a diverse audience, but interviews can be steered to certain advantages.
FMP Research
The existing products that were researched had several common features, including a focus on travel, easy-to-read font styles, and the use of a range of fonts. Aspects that will be included in the author's own production work are an animated video section and a style using different fonts. Audience research showed that the target age range travels most for holidays and leisure, with millions of international travelers each year spending increasing amounts on travel. A survey of the primary audience found that most had flown within two years and visited a variety of domestic and international locations recently.
FMP Evaluation
Kallum Sykes evaluated their production process for creating a promotional poster and video. Their research inspired ideas for their final products. Their planning helped define what they wanted to create and why, but they could have used more resources. Their time management allowed them to meet deadlines, but more time would have improved the quality. Peer feedback noted the simple, colorful design but suggested adding more transitions to the video and clarifying what was being promoted.
FMP Pre Production
The document provides details about Kallum Sykes' pre-production process for creating a promotional travel video and poster. Kallum will edit existing travel footage and motion graphics to create a promotional video for YouTube to encourage people to travel. He will also design a poster to help promote the project. The video and poster are intended to persuade viewers to travel more. Kallum outlines his plans, resources needed, and schedule to complete the project over several weeks.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

6. production reflection
- 2. Process • To start off my front cover I used this image that I found on the internet. I used the internet because I wouldn’t of been able to get my own picture of a tesla because I do not know anyone that has one. The image was bigger than the canvas so I made it the correct size so the car would fit perfectly.
- 3. Process • In this image I cut out the tesla so that I could add a gaussian blur to the background so that the car would pop and make it stand out more. Also for the magazine title I used the font called BigNoodleTilting Oblique. I then added effects to the font. I added a stoke and also added a drop shadow so the font would stand out more and be easier for the audience to read. I added two tesla logos to to magazine as well so that people know what the magazine is about. Finally I added vibrance to the magazine so that the colours would look better and brighter.
- 4. Process • On this Image I added a main cover line through the middle of the magazine cover and I also put it behind the main image. The main cover line is supposed to be smaller than the masthead but larger than the regular cover lines. This is what catches the viewers eye. I then added a smaller cover line down at the bottom of the page so people know what the magazine is about before they read it fully. Then I finally added a drop shadow to both of them pieces.
- 5. Process • In this image I have added two smaller cover lines that explain in more detail what exactly the main parts of the magazine are. These show all the cars that will be spoken about and also everything you need to know about the company that the magazine is all about. I then added a drop shadow to both of these so it makes the pop more and it also makes them stand out more. Finally I added two lines under the wheels just for a design. I used the rectangle tool and then used the free transform tool to get them the exact shape I wanted. I duplicated one of the lines and then changed the colour of them so that they are different.
- 6. Process • In this image I made a new photoshop document and slip the page in half. I did this by working out what the middle of the page was by looking at the ruler at the top of the page. Then I used the rectangle tool to draw the white boarders. I made them transparent and then duplicated the layer to put onto the other side.
- 7. Process • In this image I got an image from google. I searched up “beautiful road” because I wanted to have a vibrant background and I also wanted it to stand out. I then added a little bit of a Gaussian blur to around 13.0 pixels. I made the road fit exactly in the middle of the image so that it fits to the theme of the magazine. The final thing that I did to this page was use the rectangle tool to add two boxes in black and then I lowered the opacity to 56% so that it darkens the background. I then duplicated the layer so I could also have one below.
- 8. Process • In this image I added the tesla logo into the top box to make the page clearer to the audience. I did feel like there were too much free space around the logo but I ended up leaving it how it was. Then below I added my own research about tesla and gave the audience some more information. I added two little tesla logos next to the header for a better design. I then went over everything and thought that I should add an outline to the logo so I then added a stroke in white.
- 9. Process • In this image I got on image that I took from my holiday last year. I chose this picture because it was one of my favourite that I took. I then added images of all the cars that I was going to talk about. I made them all the same size to make the page look much more cleaner.
- 10. Process • For this image firstly I added a gaussion blur to the background image. Then I used the rectangle tool to create a box that I can add the text in. I made them the same size as the images so that the page wouldn’t look out of shape. I then lowered the opacity to 56% and duplicated the layer multiple times so that I could add text about every other image. Finally I added the subtitles for every car and used the font called BigNoodleTilting Oblique. To underline the text I used the rectangle tool and made the underline fit the same length as the subtitle.
- 11. Process • In this image i added all the text to my magazine that I needed. I first of all did my research on what I wanted to put in my magazine and also the main parts about the cars.
