Prelim Task: Initial Reaction

Prelim Task: Initial Reaction

How should I start this... well, my name is Lucy and right now I am a Year 10 student who is studying Media Studies for their GCSEs. This term, my whole class have been shown a brief and assigned the task to create our own  fashion magazine covers as well as a contents page for 14-18 years olds to appeal to. To be honest, I am actually really excited to start this because I will be able to use and discover a range of different software such as Photoshop and others. Although I am excited, I am also a bit worried that I will not be able to grasp the way on how to use these things properly. This would be my first time actually using a photo editing software so I may not know the basics just yet, but eventually, I will get the hang of it. From this task, I hope to learn the different ways on how to use multiple camera shots and angles to make my magazine look unique from others as well as stand out from the rest of the students. My initial thoughts on the project are that it is going to be very challenging but a great experience.

Prelim Task: Evaluation

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? In this project, I have had to look at different fashion magazine like Teen Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and many other magazines. My magazine definitely challenges the conventions of a fashion magazine due to the model I have decided to use. The model I have used is wearing a hijab which automatically subverts the conventions of the magazine because it is not common for a magazine to use women wearing a religious or traditional piece of clothing such as a hijab. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluating stages? In this project, I have used a wide range of old and new media technologies to produce the final product. I used a Nikon camera to take a picture of my shot list, flat plan as well as taking a practice and final shot of my final model. I also used Adobe Photoshop to play with the different tools such as...

Prelim Task: Statement of Intent

On the cover of my fashion magazine, I will be attempting to create it based on the conventions of Teen Vogue. I will test many different camera angles and shots such as close up, low angle shots, a full body shot and other various ones. I have decided to do a full body shot because I believe that the model as well as the clothes that they are wearing are the most important thing to see due to it being a fashion magazine. This would allow the reader to see what kind of fashion magazine this would be. I have also taken into consideration the target audience of 14-18 year old, because of that I will be using a model that fits the age range. My model will be wearing casual clothes to represent that the magazine is casual summer wear. I have also decided to take my main image in the recording studio because I feel like it has a casual element to it as well as good lighting for my cover to be shot in. Overall, I would like for my magazine to represent that style and beauty is something to b...
