Sainsburys Christmas Advert
The clip was about a cat called Mog, who saved his families christmas, by accidentally called the fire department after he had a bad dream and switched the cooker on, this led forward and ruined the house, after that the fire department came and friends and locals came and helped them have good christmas.

Silly Symphony- Santa Workshop
Silly Symphony is a short christmas musical made by walk disney. it shows us the story of how the Elfs make the presents at Christmas, the colour and sound made a huge difference as in some parts they used the same animation scene, and the colour helped as well as it brought the emotion. The common stereotypes that were used were kids wanting everything and santa being jolly which is acceptable.

Silly Symphony - A night before christmas
We then watched another film which was made by the same company as last time. They used the same snow animation as the last one, they also used lots of new animation which made it more believable and more entertaining. The colour that they used on the houses and on the toys were good as it brought out the christmas spirit a lot more, They sound they used was a lot more simple than the last one as the only dialect used was Santa's laugh and a babies sneeze. A lot of stereotypes were children being clumsy and reference of bottoms a lot.

Santa Claus is Coming 
the final clip that we watched was made by flash, it started with a christmas feel and when the girl went to go and see santa downstairs, santa is referred as a creature that eats anything left out for it and makes his own presents. colour an sound are good but the sound was slacking.

X-mas Cards

I done this christmas card on Adobe Illustrator, Firstly i placed the background colour and i added the snow hill by drawing a shape with the pen tool, then drew the trees by inserting a triangle then narrowing it down and copying it many times and changed the colour of them to show the effect of shadows. I then drew the shadows of the trees, then inserted the text and coloured it with a yellow and orange gradient with a white stroke. i then drew a snowflake using the line tool and shrunk it down and copied it many times and changed the size. Then finally drew santa his slay and reindeers all by scratch using the pen tool

I done this card by using a text that would suit the christmas spirit then added a slant to it, then using the brush tool i imported some X-mas trees, i picked the one that i liked then applied it to the middle of the card

Christmas tree. Illustrator

I did this christmas tree by using the line brush tool and made a triangle, afterwards i made a new layer and used the pen tool to draw the trunk and the star. I preferred to do this illustrator as i find photoshop difficult and confusing, i do wish to use photoshop more in the future.
