Induction Creative Brief - Evaluation

 Magazine Cover Evaluation 

I personally think my magazine cover went well, and turned out the way I hoped it would. At first I found it quite difficult to find a dominant image for the cover which was both big enough and suitable for the main focus - a student magazine. I soon found an image from the college website which was suitable and fit the template well, meaning I could fit y cover lines around it. I chose to use the image I did as I think it shows the college in a positive light. 

I'm happy with how my cover lines turned out, since they fit the theme after I took inspiration from the college website. I chose to take ideas from the website as it appeals to my target audience - students, therefore it will interest them. Furthermore, I chose to add a splash promoting a giveaway relating to The Bridges since things like vouchers appeal to students. 

I think if I were to do this task again, I would improve by changing the layout of my front cover and maybe adding sub images as well as a dominant image. As well as this, perhaps I could've given my cover lines more depth and detail. 

To conclude, I think my magazine cover was effective since it stuck to the creative brief and would appeal to a student through its cover lines, splash, etc.

Introduction to Moving Image

Film - The Perks of Being A Wallflower The lighting within this scene makes Sam's character look more of a  silhouette, since we aren't able to see her clearly. The scene included the characters listening to David Bowie's Heroes - hence why Sam is letting the wind hit her, as the song makes her feel free. I think by the lighting being low key and us only being able to see a silhouette, lets the audience identify with the character and how she feels in the moment. The lighting is natural, produced by the streetlights, car lights and the lights upon the bridge to reflect the time of day. While the scene is quite dark, which normally would connotate something negative - the scene is actually very positive, as it reflects the mood of the characters just living in the moment.  Film - Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back The lighting in this scene hides both of the  characters  identities - but since Darth Vader is an iconic character within film, we are e...

 I asked people within my age range if they do or don't collect records and why -  People who do -  'I do mainly because my parents have a big collection from the 70s and 80s so they gave most of theirs to me and I got additional ones myself, but also because I love having music on a variety of different formats, and certain songs on vinyl just sound better'. 'I do because I find them nostalgic in a sense, and almost helps me disconnect from reality'  'I do since my dad got me into them, and I just like having a physical copy of my favourite albums'.  'I collect them because I like to have a physical copy of an album, plus getting posters and little extras with them make it even better'.  'I like to have a physical copy of music and something you can hold or display instead of jut a download on your phone'.  People who don't -  'I want to but I don't have the money' 'I don't since I don't have the room to store a r...

Smile Campaign - project diary

 January 11th 2021 Since the idea for my TV advert changed due to Coronavirus measures, I plan to try and film my new idea this week. As well as this, I'm planning on creating a print advert, which I still need to plan some more of. January 18th 2021 After creating footage for my new TV advert, I've decided I will just create the print advert as it didn't turn out the way I wanted and also wasn't as good as my original idea. I will spend this week making sure I have everything up to date on my blogger and will begin creating my poster.  January 25th 2021 After planning what information would go on my poster, I began to create it. After trying out different software and some not working on my laptop, I began to create my poster in Microsoft Publisher. Hopefully by the end of the week my poster will be complete and I can begin evaluating.  February 1st 2021 I fell slightly behind so this week I am still completing my poster but hope to be done soon. I have included most o...
