Preliminary exercise learner response

1) Type up your teacher's feedback  in full . If you've received your feedback via email, you can simply cut and paste it from the email into your blog. WWW:  Your cover image is clear and emits a feeling of confidence and pride that aligns with the message of the article within. The masthead is creative with the different font sizes drawing the eye immediately. You’ve been very consistent with your choice of colour scheme which establishes a clear theme for your magazine. Inside your magazine you have a range of traditional long form writing, quotations and images that all match your message goal. You’ve also started to consider some of the more throwaway conventions of magazines such as prizes and gifts which can all be used to entice a reader. Next Steps:  Whilst effective, there are elements of your front cover which make it feel more like a poster advertising this book than a magazine promoting it. Your cover lines should focus on other stories that could potentially...

Real Statement of Intent

PARA 1: WHAT IS MADE, TARGET AUDIENCE, THE SOCIAL ISSUE PARA 2: STRUCTURE, THEORY, REPRESENTATION PARA 3: CODES Statement of intent: The magazine will promote a new book titled "THE TRUTH" by a fabricated celebrity, Samuel Polo. It is targeted to people of lower classes and will illustrate the book as revolutionary. The front cover will have many key conventions of a magazine (Title of publication, central image, coverlines, selling lines, a colour scheme) and these will offer audience pleasures. Also, the inside will continue the same colour scheme and will contain four additional images along side some text to promote the product. It will also show that the book helps peoples problems of slacking and help people boost their productivity.   The central image will have a slight blur to make it look like a paparazzi picture. This communicates that the magazine is targeted for lower brow and class people. The colour scheme and coverlines enforce this as it is bright, fun and in...

Coursework preliminary exercise

  1) Write a 100 word statement of intent explaining what you are going to make for your preliminary exercise. I plan on making a front cover and a two-page spread focusing on an influencers new book on positive lifestyle changes for productivity.

The large picture in the front cover will be a close up of the celebrity and will show no lower than the shoulders.

Summer Project: coursework planning

  1) Research: Music videos Watch the following music videos and analyse an aspect of media language for each one: Music video 1:  Marshmello x YUNGBLUD x blackbear - Tongue Tied How is  narrative  used in this music video to engage the audience? Right at the beginning they use dialog which is diegetic sounds to set the scene and mood for the rest of the music video and use the name " SCILENCERS " to make them seem like a power hungry and abusive police force to make them the villain of the music video and make the civilians look like the innocent people that have feel under rule of the police. The whole starting dialog pints the picture of whose good and whose not. This engages the audience as we wonder why they abuse power, why this is happening and how this situation is going to end. The phrase " one final push of unity could be the hope we all need " adds enigma codes as we wonder what is going to happen as it cuts to someone else, it also adds action codes as i...
