Induction task

For this task we have been asked to create a 1 minute vlog about what we would like to see in Bradford. As my response, i will create a one minute vlog about how i would like to see more entertainment in Bradford such as trampoline parks or theme parks. I am using this as my response as i think that Bradford should have more entertainment parks like these for children and a family day out. Yes Bradford already has these facilities but i feel like there isn’t enough.

In the outcome i changed my idea to focus on reopening Richard Dunns in Bradford instead of entertainment like trampoline parks in Bradford.

I changed my idea as i thought it would be more interesting than my original idea.

Bradford City of Culture 2025 Proposal.

I believe my idea of re-opening “Richard Dunns” could be apart of the Bradford City of Culture as re-opening or rebranding this building could make a great impact on the citizens of Bradford City to be more active and give them the motivation. As “Richard Dunns” has been rebranded as “Sedbergh Sports Centre” and as the “Richard Dunns” building is classed as a national building in Bradford, maybe this building could be made into another Sedbergh building or sold to a new company for use. This could be apart of he Bradford City of Culture as the building is seen as a national building in Bradford. The Sedbergh Sports Centre is so expensive: £25 per month membership. If this reopens it would bring a chance of more families with low income to enjoy their day as a family and to be more active. They could be cultural festivals inside the building for cultures to join together and enjoy themselves.

Reflection

My idea for the Induction Task was influenced by my dad. He helped me with the idea as before the building closed down he used to take me and my brother almost every weekend and we haven’t really done anything like that since. I didn’t really use research as I just used my own knowledge. I could have done some research as it may have helped me out more to talk about it with more of a background towards.

The social aspect of my vlog was that more people that are low income and struggle with money will be able to afford a day out at a place that has various choices of family activities which is affordable and that also brings back memories to people who visited this building when it was open. The theme was based on community as it would help the community to be more active and have more motivation and to have more days out as a family.

I think I explained this aspect well but I also think I could have added more information about the prices being affordable for families. The quality of the video was good it was clear and easy to see. The audio of the vlog was loud and clear. The lighting of the video was good as it was in the morning light and it was outside, the setting was relevant to the topic as the shot was outside the Richard Dunns building.

Overall, I think the thought and time taken was good about this project, I think I have achieved more confidence in my work. I feel I could improve with having an idea with more research and environmental purpose. I would change the idea as it was rushed and I couldn’t really think of an idea so next time I am going to improve on coming up with better ideas. Everyone else’s vlog in the group was creative and confident and they put a lot of research and time into a one minute video, as mine was more rushed and had no research behind it. I changed my mind whilst I did the video as I didn’t really like the idea I came up with.

After my video I got feedback like “it was clear he got his point across but he could have made it more interesting and more information”- which I agree with as it could have used some background research.
