Magazine Learner response


1) Add your finished magazine cover as a JPEG image.



2) Type up your feedback from your teacher. If you've received this by email, you can copy and paste it across - WWW and EBIs.

WWW - Effective image/ layout. 
- Good use of Blur / Vignette 

 EBI - Wrong choice of typography for cover title.
- Closer attention to detail. e.g. spelling 

 3) Consider your mark against the mark scheme above. What are the strengths of your production based on the the mark scheme? Think about magazine cover conventions and the media language techniques you have used to communicate with your audience (e.g. mise-en-scene, camera shot etc.)

 I think that some of my strengths were more in the actual editing of the photo to try and make it as close as possible to the original picture so that it can easily be compared and also to show some of the visual effects such as the blur or vignette.

 4) Look at the mark scheme again. What can you do to move your mark higher and, if required, move up a level?

I think that i could have focused a lot more on the fonts which i used and could have spent more time on selecting the correct font, with a few more well thought out cover lines.

 5) What would be one piece of advice you would give a student about to start the same magazine cover project you have just completed?

 I think i would advise them to put in just as much time into the magazine cover as into looking for the correct fonts and detailed cover lines.

Industies - Regulation

1) What is regulation and why do media industries need to be regulated? Systems of regulation are required to provide rules and regulations to ensure that organisations operate fairly. the government passed the video recordings act in 1984, which introduced regulation to the video market for the first time. Cinema style classification certificates were introduced, preventing young people from obtaining material that was unsuitable for them.   2) What is OFCOM responsible for? Ofcom is an example of a statutory regulation. this means that the rules are backed up by the force of the law and anyone who were to broadcast them could be punished for breaking them by either having their license revoked or in some cases having to pay a large fine. One of the most noticeable and well known elements of code is the 'watershed' which a  law which prohibits material which is unsuitable to children to be aired on TV between the hours of 5:30am and 9pm.   3) Look at the section on th

Ideology - Final Tasks MM52

Page 34: The World Of Mockingjay: Ideology, Dystopia And Propaganda 1) Read the article and summarise it in one sentence. The article talks about how even in the film the media is so important in controlling peoples perceptive of them and this is why it is so important how the all the candidates are presented and how snow is shown as the superior. 2) What view of capitalist ideology is presented in the Hunger Games films? The capitalist ideology is presented in the Hunger game films as there is a clear show that there is many things wrong with capitalist ideology and may be hinting that there are elements of a capitalist society in the world right now. It shows the very large difference between the rich and the poor in the world and shows how some people struggle so much that they cannot afford food and general necessities and some people literally have money to throw away. I think that there is one iconic scene in the film where Katniss and Peeta are invited to a large party where

Advert Print

Image
the image only uses black and white colours which may be to show that a serious message is being portayed by someone who a lot of people know and will proabably turn heads to see what they are talking about the image and text both take up half of the screen so we know that they are both equally important and can see thatsomething important is being told here even tho it is only by a sports company which normally people wouldnt think would give out important messages. there is a use of studio lighting to make 50 cent stand out so that people are attracted to the advert as they can see a familiar face. the largest text on the poster is the watermark of "i am what i am" which is a phrase people often use on a daily basis, which makes the advert much more relatable to an audience and could potetntially cause them to purchase a product. they have not specifies any product which they are selling by displaying it or shown somone who is associated with a sport such as cristiano r
