Question1
Question1laceyuscroftMy media product uses and develops conventions from real magazines. I was inspired by the magazine "Blender" which I found to have an effective yet simple style.

However, my cover image is positioned to the side rather than the center. I developed my own conventions too, like making the text on my contents page larger to suit my younger target audience.

The edits created cohesion across images while emphasizing focal points and tying the visual design to the overall theme and message.
Editing processes
Editing processesElliezambakidesAdjustment layers were used extensively in the video to manipulate color and establish tone. Sepia tones distinguished flashbacks, and adjustment layers made red colors brighter and more vibrant against the black and white footage. Adjustment layers could be removed or modified if the creator was unhappy with the effect. Footage was cut down precisely to fit the rhythm and theme of the song. Speed and warp stabilizer effects were used on many clips to create different visual effects, though they cannot both be applied in Premiere so some clips required additional editing in After Effects. Transitions like cross dissolves and dips to white were sparingly used to link clips in time with the beat or represent fading away.

Past student’s blog
- 2. Layla Keegan When I was looking through her blog I noticed how much writing she had done for her blog post she had created when she finished her magazine and contents page, compared to some of the other students. Her blog stood out to me as she had a video of the steps she took to create her magazine which I found very creative. Her first blog post was very well written and it was evident that she had a clear understand of what the task was and what she was expected to create.
- 3. Why Her Blog Was Successful I think that Layla’s blog was successful due to the understanding of the task and how she conveyed that in her writing. She gave plenty of detail in her writing and tells you everything there is to know about her magazine and contents page. It is clear she had thought about everything in her magazine as she mentions things from the price of her magazine to mentioning the school twitter. This show she has a good understanding of the task and the audience her magazine is for.
- 4. What Can I Learn From her Blog Looking through Layla’s blog I think there is a lot I can learn from it. For example the video she made that shows the stages of her magazine I think is very interesting and as she has shown the stages there is no need to write about them explaining and describing them, as you can see the stages. Something else I could learn would be to include the same level of detail in my writing, as I didn’t think to include some of the details she included. When she mentioned why her magazine was £1.50 (because students would have to buy it and they are unlikely to have much money) I will take that on board and probably include it in my own work.
