Describe the process you went through to create your production.
We began the process of creating our advertisement by organising groups, and within these groups, we came up with a concept for what we’d base our production around. Chloe, Caleb, Sean, and Josh were in my group, and we came up with the concept to market Chunky Monkey chocolate bars. The first stage was to develop a narrative and script for our concept. Then we made a storyboard for the entire commercial. Following that, we learned how and where to set up and operate the cameras in order to film our advertisement. We each had a distinct task to complete in order to set up the camera. Then we began filming and selected our outfits and sets. We collected all of our footage after filming and turned it into an advertisement.
How did you come up with the original idea?
We came up with the concept since we wanted to film an advertisement in a school setting, so we decided to produce chunky monkey chocolate bars. This is due to the fact that in our advertisement, a child is teased for not being strong, and then he receives a chunky monkey chocolate bar and thus becomes muscular and popular.
Describe three obstacles or challenges that you encountered when creating your production.
I think the group was challenged by my coming into the group late so they had to add me to the advertisement and make space for me to do things. One more difficulty we encountered was having to share our space and time with another group shooting in the locker area. We also had difficulty coming up with suggestions of what to do because everyone disagreed with each other.
What would you do differently next time?
I would have known to come to the first lesson so that I could have been in the plan so it wasn’t as hard to add me to the advertisement and I also think we could have tried to be more organized during the filming because we kept having to redo the same scene because someone kept doing their part wrong.
Intro
Every year all the year 7s have to get into a little group and design products to sell at the Christmas market. In my group, there was grace, Bridget, and me. My group made phone chains as our product. I thought that the market was a wonderful experience for me to expand my skills and understanding of design thinking. During the Christmas market, my group had to apply many economic ideas throughout the Market process to ensure that our product sold.
Empathise
My group had to empathize with all of the customers that wanted to buy our products. So that we would make a design that they would like.
Define
When we were defining our product we went through so many ideas because some ideas may not sell so they would get declined by Mr Scotti or it was over $30 so we couldn’t make it.
Ideate
We had to make so many ideas because our first idea was not very good and it was really expensive to make. This led to my group taking and changing our idea so the whole production per product only cost $0.65. Which is way better than our original idea.
Prototype
For our prototype, I made a phone chain at my house first just to see if it would work once I saw that it worked we continued with the phone chain idea for the Christmas market.
How my group came up with the price.
One of the thoughts we had before the market was that we happen to of made two different sizes. We had longer ones and shorter ones because we didn’t measure them properly. I am happy that this happened because I didn’t think about doing that before but once we realised we thought this was a good opportunity to make more of a variety for our customers. We created the price of our product by the size and the amount/type of beads used to make that phone chain. If it was a bigger phone chain, then it was $5 and if it was a smaller phone chain then we priced it at $3.
As it got more towards the end of the market, we put the prices down to two dollars. We did this because it was better to sell more for a lower price than get no more customers and be left with 15 left because we don’t need that many left over.
Some things that I would do differently if I was to do this again
I found this as a really great learning experience so I would be very happy to do this again.
I would have made more bigger phone chains because although they were more expensive than the smaller ones, the bigger phone chains were also more popular than the smaller ones. We only had the smaller phone chains left after the end of the market so I think that if we had made more bigger phone chains then we probably could have sold more. If we had made fewer small phone chains and made more bigger phone chains, we could have had a bigger profit because the bigger phone chains cost more than the smaller phone chains and since everyone wanted the bigger ones, we could have made more money.
I think that in general, we could have just made more of a variety of colour on the phone chains because lots of people wanted matching ones and just lots of the same as the ones or they had just seen other people wearing the colour or style of beads they wanted on a phone chain. But they didn’t buy any because we had already sold the one, they wanted, or we just didn’t make the one they wanted.
One more thing I think we could have done better was our pricing if we made it a little bit cheaper toward the start, we could have sold more of our phone chains. I thought we could have made the phone chains cheaper because the cost to make each one was only $0.65, and we sold it for $5 we may have made more profit but if it was that one dollar cheaper, I thought that more people would buy it. This is because multiple people came up to us and asked if there were any longer ones for a cheaper price because they didn’t want to spend that much money on a phone chain so if we made it just that $1 cheaper, we probably could have had lost more customers and we could have then made more profit.
What is Project Utopia?
I have seen Project Utopia as a chance to provide ideas to improve the harbour port and make it a liveable community since the Fremantle Port is relocating to Kwinana in around 10 years. We used what we learned in English, Humanities and InnovatED to construct a Vision Board that expresses our proposal. We went to the Fremantle Port as part of the project to see the place we were going to rebuild.
This Is The Capabilities Wheel
Comunication
In my group we had really good comunication because we were all friends and had worked together before. Apart from strong communication among the members of my group, good comunication was also needed when significant people such as Fremantle Port personnel and the Harbour project people visited us. These people would walk around the area we were working in and they might come up to us and have a conversation. If they had a conversation we would talk about our work and what we could improve about it. Since we were promoting our school, our communication must have been highly successful in front of the guests.
Resilience
When we were up to making the vision board my group had a few strugles with finding the postion of the water and where it was located. We had done our work in the wrong spot of the vision board and need to re-do our vision board. My group knew that we just had to get on with it and use resilience. This ment not complaning about how we had to start again but just getting on with the work that needed to be done.
Organisation
My group and i were not very organised at times and this could get very frustrating at times. I found this frustrating because this ment that my group kept having to go back to the classroom and get the things that we needed for our vision board so it was just wasting a lot of time.
I’ve seen demand for toilet paper fall while it was in high demand. It was quite popular, particularly the large packs. They were being sold for $10 to $20 per pack! Some folks even bought a whole boot load to sell when the stores ran out. Because we were no longer under lockdown, demand for toilet paper plunged, and no one wanted to pay $10-20 for a roll of toilet paper.
protecting mountain ranges city wealth
To conserve the richness of mountain ranges and cities, we must be cautious with our money and resources, as we have spent a lot of bonemeal producing tulips rather than creating our great stuff. We should preserve our bonemeal and use our tulips to purchase materials for inclusive construction.
cool stuff, inclusiveness and wealth
Red tulips are the current money in WW5. All 12 towns may buy products from the world bank, trade, and build their riches by using red tulips. The international bank has all of the necessary resources. Red tulips may be used to purchase them in cities. Tulips are very popular for trading. Tulips are used to exchange supplies between cities. Bonemeal may also be used to build tulip farms. Tulip farms are a good method to increase your money. Mountain range city’s bank now possesses 6 and a half stacks of tulips.
A place’s inclusiveness is a non-negotiable need. Everyone should be made to feel welcome no matter where they are. Having wheelchair ramps for those with impairments, as well as a day care centre and a library, are examples of inclusivity. No two people are alike, and we all have different interests. Mountain range city residents are in agreement.
What I Enjoyed About WW5
I loved WW5 because we got to build a city that we could design in our group that we chose. The inquiry let our imaginations go crazy and we could build whatever we wanted to like my purple house. Designing mountain range city was great and we got to do some important stuff one being designing a Parliament in our city.
What Could Make mountain range city Better
WW5 could be more fun if we started the economics in term 3 towards the end. If we finished all the economics, we could start in early term 4, this would give us more time to expand our economics world and our cool stuff. Overall, the world was really fun, but I just want more time to make mountain range city the best possible city out of what me and Ruby could do.
Wealth
Red tulips. This is our currency for the world the red tulips can be traded can be used to buy things. We had to build a little bank in our city to hold the tulips and we built a tulip farm next to it. If we go into dept then there is 1% interest every day. Myself and Ruby have currently payed off all of our dept. Me and ruby still have around 9 and a half stacks of tulips.
About us
Mountain Range city is Ruby’s city and mine. By the end of this project our goal is to be one of the most livable cities. We are starting to make our own axolotl farm. In our city we are starting to build and axolotl farm. We are not very isolated because we have to cities that are very close to us. In our city we have We have a giant solar grid on top of the mountains. There are leads all around our city connecting to the grid. a dam, parliament, houses, solar panels, hospital, library’s and some more buildings.
Cool Stuff
In our city we have a range of cool things. My favorite is the purple house I had the idea of building this to represent the our city can be unique. We gold emerald and diamond water slide for the public to have fun slip and sliding. We also have an aquarium for only your favorite animals. We indeed have an axolotl farm and a slime trampoline on the top of our purple house. But we also have a slime border.
Inclusivity
Mountain range city is an inclusive city because our library is open to any public that just wants to come in pick a book and read. We have a daycare for any parents who need to work. Our city supports the choices that the people in our city want to make. as our preambles says We are the people of Mountain range city we believe that unity, diversity, peacefulness and harmony is the key to living happily in Mountain range city. This is saying that we want you to be happy and included. we as Mountain range city include the people who are hurt by have a hospital with different levels for babies, kids, adults and the elderly so that they don’t get bothered by others.
Stability
Mountain range city is a stable city because we have a parliament that keeps on top of every thing. We have enough tulips to buy what we want and still have more tulips. Mountain range city has houses for the people to live in so that they can have a stable life. Mountain range city has a hospital for the people in our city who get hurt. So that they will become stable again. People are aloud to go into our library it is free and it is a safe space to be in.
