Working in media production contexts
In my research and design stage I first used the internet to find background information on my chosen rock magazine company called Kerrang to find out what can be found in a rock music magazine. When I took my images i tried to take interesting photos so I chose interesting costumes which were the masks which I found in a drama studio, also I wanted photos that would make the buyer of my magazine smile so I decided to get non serious photos in the style of a band named 'Bowling for Soup'. To edit my photos I had to use photoshop to edit the images by removing red eye and the background in each image. I had to do this to all my photos for both my school magazine and music magazine.
I managed my time by making sure that I spent about two lessons on my own photos and taking them and then about two more lessons being in other photos for my classmates. I also worked on my research and written work at home to make sure it was up to date.
My photo shoot went very well. I wanted to have a dark background to create a very good contrast with the band members for my front cover. I wanted three band members who were male because when I think of a very good rock band I believe men are better suited to the hard core rock style. The choice of costume was for the band members to wear some black because that is a colour associated with rock and I also chose masks because bands like Slipknot have masks but I wanted a humourous side so decided to find masks in our drama studio which had different funny personalities on them. There were some photos which I decided to not use because they were either blurred or just looked inapropriate for a rock magazine.
I created two versions of my music magazine, I did this because I created a version one and then sent out a questionare asking people's opinions of my version. Then based on my results i created a final version, I ended up changing some of the images, the size of the text and the layout of my cover line. I did this to create the best version possible for my magazine so that it was as good as it could be and that it incorporated what the target audience wanted.
Overall I feel I managed my time efficiently because I used as much lesson time as well as after school to complete all my work and I feel I stuck to the task at hand very well in each lesson.
