Planning camera shots

i want my front cover to have an image of the front of the school with happy students entering to show how the school is a positive learning environment and students are happy to be coming in to learn. This will show how much of a positive impact the school has on each individual and not only is it a good working environment but is friendly and inviting. I am going to use a straight on mid angle shot to show the school with a clear background of the surroundings. Inside the magazine on the contents page i will include a minimum of three images. One of a student reading a book showing the enjoyment to learn and how self reading is beneficial for ones personal self and is also educational. My second image will be of the achievements of the school.I will show all the trophies and medals the school has achieved from several sports events and activities showing he reader that as a school we work together to achieve great things. My third and final image will be of some students having a debate and a mini focus group on ideas they have for their own school magazine. This shows students can work together and gain others ideas and opinions to help benefit everyone. The colours i will use will be the schools colours as i am representing them and would like to keep that as my theme. i also will be using brighter colours to attract the readers to make it more engaging.

Today we looked at different camera shot and angles and how the shots portray different things and how the viewers see things differently from others from just looking at an image. we also thought about the colours we wanted to use and how much of a significant part a little aspect like the colours used can make such a difference. this helped us decide what we wanted to take pictures of and what shot we wanted to use.

Today we were planning for our preliminary task of the school magazine. we discussed what type of school magazine we wanted to make and what features we were going to include. we looked and researched other school magazines to gain ideas and get inspiration for making our own. we did sketches and drafts of what we wanted our magazine to look like. we had to think of many different aspects that suited and we needed to include in our magazine. we needed to consider how we were going to make the students appeal to our target audience.

Doble Page Spread Analysis

I have come across these two double page spreads that have been created by an AS Media Studies student like me which gave me ideas to help create my own Double Page Spread Analysis

">. I think they look really professional and effective because: The font is really small and there is lots of it so it looks realistic There are different pictures of different sizes which attract the attention of the readers There are different quotes around the page to look at and read There is no negative space The colour scheme is effective because it is classy and easy to read It's simple so there isn't too much to take away effect of the main content These are the two from AS Study Students that I will use for inspiration:

WEEK 1 This week we completed a Photoshop workshop to help us make our Preliminary task of a school magazine. We played around with photoshop adding different effects to different images and using different fillers and filters to create different styles and effects. This was beneficial as we were able to find new ways of changing images and finding different ways of actually using workshop.

Focus Group - Music magazine

The focus group was beneficial in gaining more ideas of my original plans on my music magazine. I found the focus group useful as i got alternative ideas and got to expand on my own. i put fourth my ideas to my media group and they gave me good feedback which i will use when making my magazine. I received feedback on how the the group thought and felt about my idea and how to improve and expand on my idea. I got an insight into what i need to add and what i need to improve through suggestions and opinions. The feedback made me think about similar types of magazines already out there and how mine is going to incorporate some aspects but then still be different from the rest.
