Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Planning and preparation was so important in helping me with my final product because it gave me a guide and plan to follow. When doing my draft copies and storyboard it gave me an idea of what my final product would look like. Doing a storyboard also helped me develop my ideas i already had and it gave me a clue of what viewers thought of certain things on my magazine.
I think when doing the preliminary task it has helped me organise my time much more efficiently. It helped me organise my time when completing my final task because I had an idea how long each section would take which made it easier for me as it was all laid and planned out for me. Although I did have to change some of my dates which worked should have been completed by due to different things like bad whether etc.
When using the camera the preliminary task gave me an idea of how to use the camera and it gave me greater knowledge on how to angle the camera when taking my pictures and also how to frame the photos etc. When taking my photos for my magazine for my front cover, contents page and double page spread I had a good idea of how to angle the photos and of how to take them and as you can see from some of the pictures in my magazine there at different angles and some of them are close-ups and some of them aren’t.
When looking at different magazines before designing mine it gave me some ideas of how to layout my magazine and what magazines are like in my certain genre. This gave me an insight of what things should and should not be in my magazine.
Doing the preliminary task before the full product helped me develop my post-products skills by helping me develop my knowledge and skills when I used different software’s like Photoshop and quark express. Whilst using these software’s I also developed my skills and I found it much easier to use after I got the hang of it. I found out how to use different things on Photoshop and Quark express which helped me when designing my magazine.
The biggest thing I have learnt from undertaking this project is how to use different software’s with a good sense of knowledge and a good skill level. I have also learnt different things about different media products and how to aim a certain media product like my magazine at a certain social group.
There is a basic understanding of institution and forms and conventions. There is a basic understanding of how technologies have been used to help in the project. There is some evidence of a proficient understanding of how social groups have been represented. There is a basic evaluation of how the product has successfully appealed to the target audience. There is a basic understanding of their development from the preliminary task. There is a basic ability to communicate effectively and evidence of a basic use of ITC in the presentation of the project.
