Our Magazine Cover (First Draft)

Above is the first draft of our magazine cover. The photograph was taken using Luqman's Canon E0S 400 Digital camera and the photo editing software we used was Adobe Photoshop CS6.

We used an existing magazine as inspiration for our magazine. The magazine is called Total Film.

I really like how the product ended up, though i have noticed some mistakes, such as we the L in love is lower case while everything is upper case. I have also noticed that we forgot to add a bar code, though most magazines might not have a bar code at the front the our one will.

We have asked for feedback from our teacher and co-workers and they have told me that they believe that it's really good, except for the large body of text on the right hand side, and also they told me to add a date and price.

My Skills Audit From the Beginning of A2

This is my skills audit for the beginning of A2 showing what I could do and what I would have to learn to do to complete this year of Media Studies.

In my opinion I feel like I have managed to gain most of these accomplishments and therefore I am proud of myself.

Magazine Conventions and Terminology

We had a task to create both powerpoints on the Film Poster Codes and Conventions and also Magazine Conventions and Terminology. Here is the powerpoint for my Magazine Conventions and Terminology.

Film Poster Codes and Conventions

We had to do some research on the codes and conventions of film posters, and I have created a powerpoint which includes this.

Filming Finished!

We have finally finished all the filming of our scenes, and have gotten into editing. As soon as we're done, we'll be going into our film poster and magazine cover.

Filming

Because we haven't got the library scene where our two actors meet, we will need to film at a library, which could possibly be Croydon Library. We will find a suitable time to film there and will post on our blogs for more updates.
