How I felt my video went

I feel that my video could of gone better because I don't feel that I have shown too many signs of technological implements however I think that the different camera styles that I used allowed me to be really effective and get my point across easier and more attractive.

Course

I have really enjoyed doing the Media Studies course because I have been able to learn a wide variety of new skills to help me improve my skills and help give me a better understanding of all the new software that we now have at our disposal. Furthermore I have been able to learn how to take more professional photo's with better use of lighting and camera shots, angles and movements. I have really enjoyed this year and I can not wait for the music video to begin.

Magazine

I feel that the magazine went well and that i have been able to develop my skills a lot through the different software's that i had used. Furthermore I feel that bu using different lighting, camera and editing techniques I was able to bring my magazine forward a evolve my skills to make the overall pages look better and more professional.

Blog

Throughout this project I have had to manage this blog, the reason why I did this was to keep my audience and examiners up to date on my project and I am able to explain how i have done it. I feel that the overall blog went well and that I was able to keep up to date with my Blog and that it contains a lot of detail and I was able to explain each stage of my production.  

Final Recording Seventh Recording

For this Video clip on my final question (7) I filmed my self comparing my Preliminary task with my Final cut and trust me there is a massive difference in its overall appeal and ability. I have been able to recognize how this year has gone on to teach me a wide variety of different skills and tips which will make any future tasks that little bit more easier and a lot more enjoyable.

   

Sixth Recording

For this clip I had filmed myself and a few of my target audience members and asked them to analyse my final cut as well as my draft cuts to see whether or not I have improved and whether or not I have met their demand and needs. This was useful because I was able to see which direction my magazine was heading in and whether or not my target audience actually liked it.

Fifth Recording

For this clip I decided that my Introduction needed to be a lot more welcoming so I filmed a short video (Only about 30 seconds long), just to allow the viewer  a better insight onto what the video is going to be about.

Fourth Recording

For this one (Q4), I decided not to record this part because whilst I was filming it the camera kept dying and after so much effort and long dreary hours I finally managed to film what I needed to do, however when it came to me downloading it onto my computer it was not there so I took it out looked on the camera and found out that somehow it deleted itself and all the footage that was left were all of my mistakes. I decided to not waste any more filming time and moved on. This mean that when I came back to it at a later date I typed it up into my video instead.

Third Recording

For this I decided to record myself, face to face with the camera about what I have learned from doing this and how I have learned all about the new technologies used (Question 6). I felt that this video went really well because I was able to say what I wanted and how I felt about the course in my own private way.

Second Recording

For this video i went on to film my Question 1. which involved having to talk about my magazine and comparing it to my role model/inspiration behind the whole design of my magazine and as I said before you will be unable to view them until they are complete.

First recording

I have just filmed my first video for question 4 (speaking to my target audience) and i gathered three people from my target audience, sat them down and asked them to describe what they liked and what they disliked about my final product. Shown below is an image of what my video looks like and you will be able to see the video until I have finished it.

Evaluation Video

I have decided to do a video to Evaluate how my products development went and how i can compare with the final output against any part of my developed stages/preliminary. I am going to be videoing it using the school's camera, Nikon d1500 and i will also be using a tripod and microphone to get better sound. Then once I go onto editing my video I will be using the software Adobe Premier Pro to ensure the best quality for my image and to give me some experience upon using the software for next year.

My Final hand in for my magazine

I have handed in my final magazine for my Front cover, Contents page and my double page spread. Shown below is what the outcome of my pages look like:

So what i did was after i had updated my contents page i made no extra improvements because i really like the overall layout of the page and i am very proud with the colour choices because i feel that it works really well with the theme of my magazine and it matches what my target audience would like to see. With my Front cover i really like how i used the lighting effect to really make the overall image much more prominent and look much more professional. Furthermore i really like the whole layout of the page with the stories being really clear down both the left and right hand side. Finally with my double page spread my favourite part of the page has to be the image because i really like the quality of the image as well as the the overall layout of the text and title. So overall i am very happy with how it turned out and if i am going to be honest i feel that i have out done myself.    

Update on Front cover

I have now done further update on my front cover by including a new image for my front cover and I have added a price, Issue number and a bar code to try and make my magazine more practical and more realistic I have also go onto re-structuring my overall style on the magazine. Below is what my new front cover looks like:

As you can see I have added an issue date on the bottom with the price and the bar-code in the top right of the page. I have also made the stories easier to read and more attractive. Furthermore i have increased the size of the title to make it look more appealing and more proffesional.

Contents Page Update

After I had received my responses I have completely re-done my page because there was to much pink and it looked really unprofessional. I have gone out and taken completely different photo's and I have changed the overall structure/layout of the page. As you have seen in a previous post I have taken photos of Emma
to try and mix it up and involve other people to improve my marks. Down below is what my contents page looks like at this current time:

I may also go on to handing this in as my final hand in, however i may go on to add more details on like bolder font style and possible adjusting the quality of the image.
