Evaluation of Practice
Magazine
Upload annotated magazine and give an overview of the conventions
1. Which magazines conventions does the magazine follow?
My magazine follows the conventions of a magazine by having a mid shot of the subject who is on the front cover; I have also used the use of two different texts and three different colours.
2. Which does it break?
Because it is a magazine I can’t show sound or movement.
3. How does the colour palette suit the target audience?
I think that the colour palette that has been used suits the target audience because it has colours which are normally used in football magazines and are liked by men, who are the target market for football magazines. I believe that red, black, grey and blue are
4. How do the cover lines entice the audience?
It captures the target audience’s attention because of the eye catching strap lines and sub headings
5. Does the magazine appeal to new or regular readers – how do you know?
I think the magazines appeals to the new audience because it looks professional and
6. Who distributes the magazine and what is the circulation?
The magazine is distributed every month and by Haymarket Publishing.
7. What have you learnt about producing a magazine front cover?
I have learnt, like in English there is a rule of 3, you should use three colours, three fonts maximum and that the mast head should cover the whole width of the front cover.
Film
Describe the task and how you responded to the task
1. How is the scene typical of a TV soap?
TV soaps follow the plan of a daily life, for example in the Eastenders show we watched, it started of with Peggy answering the phone, then she woke up family living in her house.
2. Which camera angles are used and why?
Establishing, a mid angle, close up and long shot which then went into a zoom. They used these shots because it helped to make their filming effective for example, an establishing shot is used to show the user the surroundings, the items in the scene like characters, cars, trees and animals, it helps to explain what is happening in the opening scene.
3. How accurate was your recreation?
I think our recreation of the episode of East Enders is quite accurate, although there are a few obvious differences between the two for example, we had to you a mobile phone, and blue tack to stick the phone to the wall, where as in the real episode it was a house phone screwed to the wall, We didn’t shoot the scenes in the correct rooms e.g. kitchens etc, also i think we did quite well overall, we got most of the camera angle and shot types correct along with the idea of using the laptop to record the theme tune and starting sequence from.
4. What were the successes and failings of your project?
I think one of the successes of the project is that overall the shots we got where ok, but a failure in our project was that we ran out of time editing the video and we had to use props that weren’t similar to the items used in the BBC.
5. What have you learnt about mise en scene?
I have learnt that mise en scene, is everything you see in that certain scene for example if you pause a film and the character is playing football for a professional club, you should look at the crowd, the colours, the lighting, the characters, basically everything except for sound because you can’t see it,
6. Was the lighting used in your project effective?
We didn’t use the lighting in our project very well, because we filmed our shots in one room and didn’t use it well enough in our episode.
7. What have you learnt about the importance of continuity?
I have learnt that the continuity is very important because you film people talking from one angle then the same conversation from another angle, you have to make sure that when you edit the two different shots that you can continue from the other shot e.g. if I was talking to someone and said “hello, how are you?” but half way though you switch shots you would have to film me saying the same words and edit them together.
8. Which techniques do you need to work on:
a) filming
b) editing
I think I need to work on editing the most because that is where I have the least experience, but overall I would like to improve on both filming and editing.
For my filming I need to work on a couple of techniques which include;
a) Zooming because I’m not smooth enough when I use this technique
b)
In editing the techniques I need to work are;
a) Cropping the scene
b) Adding effects into the movie.
Having gained experience in creating a print based product and a moving image product, which do you feel more confident using and why?
I feel confident making both a print based product and a moving image product but over all I feel more confident producing a moving image based product because it seemed to look more professional and advanced than our magazine cover that we made.
