Skill Development
I found my skills developed from prudcing this product as i leanrt how to use new programmes on the computer i didnt know before, as well as my creatvivity was increased, as i blieve that i was always creative but doing this task allowed for it to come out more.
Digital Technology
I used a range of different digital technologies to produce this piece of work. For example, the software to create the whole production, such as Adobe Photoshop, Adome Premiere, Adobe Reader along with the Digital prfessional camera i used to take the photo's, to a high standard. Also, i used a memory stick to transport my work from home to school, which meant that i was able to complete my project whenever i wanted. Also Fronter site heled this as it meant that if i was ever stuck on what i had to do, the tutorials would help me, which used other sorces of technology to produce.
Creativity
My creativity helped me to produce my magazine because in order to attract the audeicne eye and make them want to buy the magazine had this been a true to life situation, the magazine would have to stand out, so it needed to be wacky to catch their eye and you would need to be creative to do this. Also, i wasnt help back from doing on the computer, as whatever idea i had to do, i was able to do on the computer. I also beleive that it doesnt matter how amazing the content of the magazine is, the the picture on the front cover isnt very good then the magazne woudnt look good and that is the first thing that the audeince will see when they look at the magazine so it is essiential to get this part right, therefore i needed to be creative with the pictures that i took in post poduction.
Research and Planning
Also another essiential part of the production, as you need to know what the target audeince want before you can produce it. Therefore, as part of my research and planning i looked into what the target audeince already have (already existing magaines) and then i thought about what i could add to this, so what the current zeigist is and how this can be added to the magazine. To acheive this, i added subscribtion avaiable to download on the Kindle and also ticket give away to Glastonbury festival as this is a likely event the target audeince is likly to attend and i was able to find this out form the research that i did
Post Production
As part of my post production i added the special effects on Adobe Photoshop to add to the creative ideas that i had, for example, the background shadow and the balloon effect on the puff as well as the background image which i lowed the opacicy, so it appears to be lighter on the first double page spread. The most difficult part of my post production was removing the background from the images that i took. Becuase of the way my model has styled her hair and also because of the colour of her hair, it made it difficult to effectivile remove the background, therefore i had to think of a plan b and instead of removing the background completely i had to keep the background of my magazine white and cut around the models hair. This was the only way to keep the magazine looking professional.
Also in post production i produced two documentaries. One about my planning and research process and the second about my evaluation. The researcha nd planning one was easier of the two as i alli had to do was put the slides from my presenation that i had been creating as i wnet along in order and edit the voice over i had created and put the two together and make sure the timing was right. The evaluation on the other hand didnt have a slide sho to go with it so i had to use my imagination and my creative difer to think of images that coudl go in the background while i was speaking.
Media Conventions
I was able to find research the conventions of magaines and also the particular convention of the genre of music magazine i was creating, which was Rock. This enabled me to then go and create a magazine that the audeince would expect, as convention are 'rules' the producers need to follow as its what the audeince expect to see.
Real World Texts
I used other already existing magzines to find out what the 'typical' rock magazine of today would be like and find out the codes and convetions that they followed. I chose to use a range of different magazine,s such as Q, Kerrang, NME and Echoes. The target audience of these magazine vary and therefore allowed me to get a wide range of different aspect of the magzines and also they also vary slightly on genre, for example Echoes is mainly a R&B/Soul magazine, but i thought i would look in to this genre type of magaizne as i want to try to incorpaorate some of the layout designs, as i liek the way that R&B music magzazine set their information out on the front cover.
