Formula 1 is commonly known simply as F1. With the black F and the red
pattern signifying speed on display. But
if you look at the white space between these the two elements there is a number
1. This represents the name of the company formula 1 in short F1. The black shows that the company is bold and
serious about racing, the red also shows that it is active and emotional about
racing. 
The Toblerron chocolate comes from Switzerland – which is also known as the city of bears. But there is a secret in the logo of a mountain, there is a beer in the mountains, this represents Switzerland and it shows that it is a proud Switzerland chocolate. The colour gold represents that the chocolate is determined, posh and wealthy and the colour red show that it is passionate chocolate and intensity.
NBC
has changed their logo 13 times in the past and in 1956 they chose to add the
hidden peacock into the logo but in 1956 they got rid of it again. In 1979 they
re-added the logo and from then on they decided to keep the hidden peacock and
just improve the colours and shapes. The NBC logo has a hidden peacock above
the above text which is looking to the right, this represents the company’s
motto to look forward and not back. The name of the company is black with
represents that it is a bold company and the six colours show that it is a
mixture of feelings.
The apple logo has an bite out of
it, the designer of the logo said that it was implemented with the bite so
people would recognize that as an apple
instead of berry, this worked because if you show someone this logo they would
do it was an apple not an berry. Also the apple logo also has a bitten out of
it because the first guy to make a proper computer that help in WW1 was gay and
the army said he had to stop being gay or die so he ate a poison apple and
died. The colour black show that the company is bold, serious and luxurious.

Unit 22: single
camera techniques
1.
Understand the features of single camera
production- behind the scene, features, camera works, angles and movements.
2.
Be able to plan a single camera production- pre
production
3.
Be able to apply single camera techniques in a
production- actual filming, combining 1 and 2 to help actual film.
A pass asks you to describe
A merit asks you to explain
A distinction askes for a comprehensively explain
If you are describing something you are giving a brief
overview
You’re showing a range of varieties
You are going to have to use appropriate subject
terminology. Explain it, why it’s there
Consistent with your use of terminology, giving a wide range
of examples. How often it links to another etc.
Element of the audience
PASS
P1: learners will describe correctly and substantially
examples of single camera production in terms of formats, narrative structures,
and technical execution. The description will be in terms of the content – that
is, the ‘story’ of these productions will be given and techniques will be noted
but this will lack the detailed exemplification required for the higher grades.
It will also lack any explanation of how such techniques as master shot, reverse
shot, image size and editing actually help to tell the story. Evidence will
show a basic understanding of technical terminology but learners will generally
be unsure about this vocabulary and will make fairly frequent mistakes when
they do use it.
MERIT
M1: learners will explain the formats, narrative structures
and technical elements of single camera production. Detailed illustrative
examples will be used to illustrate and support what is said, but the learner
will not elucidate these examples to show how they illustrate the points they
support. Learners will explain the use of cinematic techniques and how they
create meaning for the audience. For example a learner might explain how the
point of view shot is used to encourage audiences to identify with characters
or situations, or produce a degree of realism for the audience. Learners will
use technical vocabulary for the most part correctly, but may make mistakes or
be unsure about usages at times.
In order to achieve a
merit overall you need to get a pass on all criteria’s.

Media sectors
Digital graphics – range / for different sectors
Distinction
D1: learners will use a wide range of precisely focused
examples to comprehensively explain the formats, narrative structures and
technical elements of single camera production. Learners will draw out of
examples precisely what is about them that that exemplifies the points they
illustrate. Learners at this level will typically discuss mainstream and
alternative formats with explicit reference to both narrative structures and
cinematic techniques. For example, in terms of narrative, open ended,
non-linear and multi-stranded narratives might be explored, whilst, in terms of
techniques, shot size, camera angle and camera movement will be considered
along with editing techniques such as continuity editing, cross cutting, use of
montage and split screen, with elucidated examples to illustrate each
technique. Technical vocabulary will be secure and used correctly and
confidently at all times.
D2 and D3: learners
will typically explore independently a range of effective and well thought-out
original ideas and designs for production. Examples will show a high technical
standard as well as creativity and flair resulting in preparatory material
which closely reflects industry conventions for the presentation of such
material. Codes and conventions will be used with occasionally surprising
results. Practical digital graphic work will reflect the high standard of
designs and preparation work completed for D2. Learners will show that there
has been a clear progression from original designs to their completed work,
which itself evidences creativity and flair and independent application of high
quality technical skills to near-professional expectations. In all practical
activity distinction grade learners will be capable of working autonomously and
effectively. The term ‘working independently’ means that they are able to work
on their own initiative, do not need constant support or supervision, give the
work their full commitment, work positively and cooperatively with others, and
meet deadlines. In other words, they have the kind of self-management skills
that would be expected of them in a professional context. Note also that this
criterion should not be taken to mean that learners do not seek advice or that
they work without discussing things with their tutor, but rather that they are
not dependent upon the support of others and that when they take advice they
weigh it carefully for themselves.
D4: learners will produce a comprehensive, fluent and
critically objective assessment of their own work that has well-considered justifications
for the choices made with detailed reference to elucidated examples taken from
that work. They will make critical comparisons of their own work with current
or past practice in this sector of the industry.
D1 and D4: technical vocabulary will be secure and used
correctly and confidently at all times.
I will make critical comparisons of my own work of pass,
current and practices with this section of the industry. This is asking me to
look at professional logo graphics on what you design
