For this project the first idea I have come up with is to create a short documentary video about surfing in Cornwall. I like this idea because surfing is a major sport in Cornwall which a lot of local people take part in. Surfing is a thing which people do for various reasons such as to earn a living, as a hobby or just plainly for fun. This is why I would like to create a documentary, where I will go down to some local beaches like Sennen, Praa Sands, Gwiven, etc. and capture some good footage of surfers surfing and then I will ask them questions about what they like about surfing?, what do they like about surfing in Cornwall?, Why they like surfing so much?.
I have been looking on YouTube at some different surfing videos and have linked the ones that I like down below:

After I presented my idea to my class the feedback that I have received has made me changed my idea. But I have still decided to keep sort of on the same track but I am creating a photo montage in a slide show presentation of my surf photography. I think that this will be a better way to start exploring this sort of media instead of going straight in and create a short film. I am going to get some photos of surfers that I will then put into a slideshow which can then be displayed on a screen during the show.

Learning Outcome 1
Understand the Principles of Showing Creative and Media Work
The last unit of our first year is called Show. Throughout this unit we will have to create creative work using any media medium especially for a show, we will have to explore the purposes of exhibiting or staging creative work and the possibilities it brings, also plan and prepare for the showing of your work, publicise our show and then present our show at PZ Gallery in the summer and evaluate its effectiveness through audience response.
The theme of the show is waves which was chosen by the art students who are involved. So they have come up with the title Splash for the show. Personally I don't really like this theme or title because we have to create something that responds to the area we live in and there are so many other words that are more meaningful and that respond to Penzance much better. Although I am not to happy with this theme and title I am going to try my hardest to create something that responds to the brief and that will look good in the show.
