Equipment Video- The Crane



This is an equipment test to show that we can put together and use different pieces of equipment.
I used the Crane. We had to weigh down the end to be able to use it well.





Equipment Lesson


For this lesson we were learning how to put together and work 3 different pieces of equipment.

Hand held Base

We all had to take a video with the equipment and we also had a picture taken while using it.

WW1 Medals

WW1 Medals
There were five campaign medals available for individuals who saw service in the First World War. An individual, male or female, could be issued with a maximum of three of these medals, although there are a small number of exceptions to the rule.
Service medals were issued automatically to other ranks, but officers or their next of kin had to apply for them. Medals were impressed with the name of the recipient and usually included some or all of the following: service number, rank, first name or initial, surname and military unit (Regiment or Corps). This was either on the rim of the medal or in the case of a star, on the reverse.
In addition to the five campaign medals a badge was available to officers and men who had been honorably discharged or had retired as a result of sickness or wounds from war service.
Below are the medals that my grandpa achieved in the war. I am going to use these to put on my brother as a flash back.


 The first star is the 1939-1945 Star
The second star is the France and Germany star
The first round medal is The Defence Medal
The second round medal is the 1939-1945 Medal

Final Narrative

 For my final idea I have decided to do a Romantic film. I am going to base it on WW1 and have my grandpas medals and my grannies diary entries from that time. I will have it set in my grannies apartment as this is where all the medals and diary entries are. I am going to set all of the flash backs in my front yard as when I add a 8mm film I think that this will look like an old place.



Location-I am going to set it in my grannies flat and also outside my house. I will film the flashbacks in the garden of my house and put a 8mm film clip over it to make it seem like it was a long time ago. I am going to film the rest in my grannies flat as this is where all the medals and diary entries are kept.
Costumes- I will get my grannie to wear her normal clothes as these suit the fact that it is everday. I will get my brother and his two friends to be in their marines uniform as this is what they would be wearing to recieve the medals.  
Narrative- In my film I am going to have a voice over of the diary entries that my grannie has from back then. I will have the voice over then linking to what is going on. When the medal is being handed over to my brother I will have the voice over about why he got it and what he did to deserve it. I wont have any direct talk I will just have voice overs because I think that this is clearer to show memories. 
Actors- My grannie is going to play herself. She is going to be in the present day and speaking about her experiences when her late husband got his medals. She will have some diary entries of when she met him and what he got his medals for. My brother, James, is going to play my grandpa when he was younger. He will be the one recieving the medals in the flash back. He will only be in the flash backs. My brothers friends, Barty and Robin, will be playing the other marines. They will be with my brother when they are leaving to go to war.

After thinking about it I have had a completely new idea.
