Unit 1.1 - Written report on the range and types of creative and media activity in the South bank

Introduction

I have visited South Bank and found it be a buzzing busy area with varies of opportunities in the Creative and Media sector. We as diploma students went to a trip We went straight to visit the Hayward Gallery, which was a great experience because of all the priceless arts in show. I took some photos of some of the arts in show. Hayward Gallery Is part of the South Bank Centre so on the way I saw loads of different shops regarding to arts and media. I always wanted to visit the Hayward Gallery and visiting it finally is like a dream come true. Its only the Hayward Gallery which caught my eye, it was also the street performances which was very attracting and you can stay around watching it all day. One of my favourite performances is a group of people playing different instruments and the instruments were from their culture. The Music can be heard from very far away and you can almost follow your ears. On the bank of the river there were loads of mini shows. There was a moving person statue which only moves when you put in money and they cant are fooled even though they are behind thick clothing and a mask. The street performances and all the creative and media places make South Bank a diverse and attractive place for the people who show interest in the Creative and Media Sector. There’s a bit init for the people who has come South Bank for Entertainment. The BFI IMAX holds the biggest screens in UK and they take 3D to the next level which is Polarized 3D.
