​About​
The idea of this project is to put together 101 sketches for the public to inject the community with positivity, to raise morale, allow artistic expression and generally make people feel good! Unfortunately we only performed eight projects and put together six video clips. This would be because of lack of commitment to the group and lack of responsibility with our tasks. I think other members of the group lost interest in this project because of other students not turning up to our Fridays lesson, some students would not keep on top of their tasks that we agreed people would take at the beginning of the year and also lessons lacked fun because of people not turning up. My responsibility throughout this project was to promote our group to the public, edit videos, put together sketches, take part in managing out Facebook page and also put together a YouTube page. I think I done a good job with my tasks as I was always on top of our Facebook page sharing our videos and adding more people, I took part in most of our sketches and also took time outside of our lessons to put together other sketches. What did not work was the YouTube pages because myself and another student were the only two who were editing the videos we did not get the videos edited on time as we took on to much to do. Also for the YouTube page I would be waiting a long time for the other student to send me his videos. If we were to do this project again I would defiantly do it as I did enjoy what we accomplished, seeing the publics reactions towards our sketches were a success and also receiving great comments and compliments on our Facebook page were fantastic. For next time to make this project work I would only take on people who would give 100% towards this project and that will turn up to every rehearsals. I would also want to stick to our schedule and make sure we would be doing sketches every week and have the videos uploaded to our sites a couple of days after so we can stay on top of promoting them to our audiences. I think I did do a great job towards this project but I also think I could of made more o an effort towards performing the sketches. Just because we didn't achieve performing 111 I think if I did more solo acts we could of done more and maybe had more audience.

With Love From Stee
​
Stee is a fine art student at Middlesbrough College (or is he ?) and this is what he did for us
Our first project 111 sketch. All members of the class involved. I edited the video.​
Our first sketch included one of our students, Stephen Leahy to pretend to be a fine art student from Middlesbrough College. We had him pretending to be giving away free caricature drawings to other students of the college. But when they receive these drawings they come across a rubbish picture of themselves. All students in our class were involved in this and took on different tasks to make this work such as cameramen, video editors and to reel other students to our table. We had many students walking away laughing and smiling at our "joke", we even had two male teachers with very impressive moustaches that wanted to use their pictures for next years Movember week. What did not work with this sketch would be other students would come behind our "artist" and see what he is actually doing. We would hear comments such as "he is rubbish" and "don't believe him". To approve this whole sketch I would perform it in a bigger public place such as the town centre and keep a barrier behind our artist to make such other members of the public do not see what they are drawing. Another thing that did not work was that because our cameramen did not get a hole of cameras we used a last minute camera from another student and the quality wasn't that good. Also it took a while to get these video clips to edit together.

Take What You Need
Take what you need of these posters we made. Love,hug,faith etc
Just to spread a little joy​​​​​​​​​
Members of the class got together to make lots of posters to stick around Middlesbrough College
Hayley Thompson Edited the video.​
​
​
In our take what you need sketch every member of our class made posters with the title "Take what you need" on the top and also post it notes with the words A hug, A kiss, A friend, Passion and other nice words. The point of this would be for members of the public to take what they need to make themselves feel better. We all made two posters each and other students put them up around Middlesbrough college. This was a success as we saw the posters become emptier throughout the week, we also had to refill these posters to keep students taking them. What did not work was that other students from different departments would make their own post it notes and put them on our posters with rude comments on them. To make the video clip we took pictures of our posters and students wearing the post it notes. To make this bigger and better would be to put the posters up in a bigger public area and to get clips of the public take them from the posters and see what they think about them.

Daddy Bear Gets His Revenge​
We all know the story of Goldilocks and the three bears. But when we were children did we ever get told the story of Daddy's revenge ?
Shannon Smith starring Goldilocks
Tim Wharton starring Daddy Bear
Members of the class decided to use our colleges café as the scene of the revenge. Whilst the actors were performing others filmed and edited this video.
My role was to edit this video.
Our third sketch was put together last minute as other students of the class did not turn up to perform other sketches. We had a bear costume and a school uniform so we came up with Daddy Bear gets his revenge. The whole point of this sketch was to show a different side to the Goldilocks and the three bears story. We had Tim Wharton, played as Daddy bear and Shannon Masters, played as Goldilocks to make a scene towards the café to purchase some porridge as Goldilocks has again eaten the three bears. It was a very funny sketch but the negative thing would be other students thinking it would be funny to through a bottle at the person in the bear suit. Luckily this was the only bad thing that happened. Putting together the video was very fun to do as I shown one side of the story and a very different side of our story. This would defiantly work doing this sketch outside of the college. We could use the shops in the town centre to make a scene Also we could make it bigger with two more bear suits to make it look like the actual three bear family. This could only work if we had more people to help us with the camera shots and the actors.

Have A High Five
​
Something to cheer up the students of Middlesbrough college on the first Monday morning of the week!
​
Members of the class had different roles such as high fiving, holding signs filming and editing. I made the high five signs and Liam Feher filmed and edited the video.
This was a very fun sketch to do as we seen a lot of reactions from the students at Middlesbrough College. What we set up was three signs saying Welcome back, cheer up, have a high five. Then we had two different students holding up their hands for a high five. It was a very simple sketch but very effective. We also had different students high fiving us with jumps and spins which made our video look fun ! My responsibility for this sketch was to put the whole thing together. I made the signs at home and also told the other students what I need them to do. Another student edited the video. Orginally I did want to make this sketch bigger by having it on the first day back to college on a Monday and make it all about having the Monday blue and cheering up with a high five because we do not have a lesson on a Monday morning nobody turned up to do this sketch and I was on my own. So when it came to performing it we made it about coming in in the morning.

Badmen Job Hunting ​
So we haven't seen much of these two heroes have we ? We caught actual footage of them trying to seek work around the Middlesbrough area ​
Tony Winward starring Batman
Phil Graham starring Robin
All other members of the class walked around the Middlesbrough area picking areas for them to busk for work. Liam Feher filmed and edited this video. ​
This sketch was organised by two other students who played the parts of Batman (Tony Winward) and Robin (Phil Graham) We all then walked around Middlesbrough town to show two popular heroes busking for jobs. My only task in this was to make the sign for the heroes to hold I also posted this on our Facebook page and YouTube page. This sketch was very fun as we saw other members of the public approach our Batman and Robin to take pictures and even talk to them. Our two students did a fantastic job as they stuck with their characters and even spoke back to the people with their own accents and mannerisms. The video also shows how fun this day really was. Liam Feher edited this video but also took a very long time to send me this clip to upload onto our YouTube site.

Harlam Skittle ​
​Following the Harlam Shake with a bit of a twist !
As members of the class were of with a production others put together a quick project111 video with skittles !
This sketch was put together very quickly when there was a faze of the Harlem shake (Playing a popular piece of music and other people dance to it very oddly) It starts of with one skittle shaking to the beat of the music then suddenly when the music kicks in there is a lot more skittles joining the one skittle. It was a very funny idea and other people on our Facebook page loved it and shared it on their profiles. Not many people took part in this as we were putting on a production of Midsummer Nights Dream. Our teacher Glen also put this video together.
Project 111 Facebook Page
This shows our Twitter page. The twitter page did not seem to be very popular as the Facebook page. This may eb because we could not upload our videos to the twitter site.
This shown were members of the public could sent us comments to our profile. As you can see here someone is sending us a idea of what we could perform. We also received comments saying how well we are doing and also replies to our comments.
When we share a link or video on our page this is what it would look like to our fans. They also get the option to share our links on their own Facebook pages.
This is how many of my own friends from my Facebook profile like our page. This happens when I share our page on my timeline to get other people to press like. Or I can invite everyone from my profile to like this page. If everyone from our group did this I think we would of had more likes.
This is our profile picture that we can change. Liam Feher made this picture. I think it shows character and also stands out with the red background.
This is our cover page that Liam Feher made it includes different characters from our sketches. It gives the audience a idea of what our project is about
This is the amount of Likes we got from other people. We all done this together by sharing our page and videos. Likes also show that people like our page and project. They also get to see more clips and comments when they have liked the page
