India Cox - AS Media Studies

This is my blog about my AS Media Studies work! (Y) 21/09/09 - Today, I have completed lots of my work that will be put into my planning folder. First of all we were given the task to find some existing music magazine covers, and write a breif analysis of a few front covers. Some of the things we had to write about were what sort of bands would feature in this type of magazine? The general layout of the front cover?

The next piece of work we had to do was where we selected two front covers that would link to the type of music we will use for our music magazine and then write a detailed analysis of the magazine cover.

After this were we given a more practical task of where we got in to groups of about 3 or 4 and were given a camera and had to make a story out of six images. When taking pictures we had to take into consideration the framing, lighting, clarity of meaning and many other important features.

01/10/09 - Yesterday we did a photoshop workshop, it was to teach us how to use photo shop. It really helped me and now i will be able to edit my picture for my school front cover. 

We have to now make a school magazine, it will include a front cover and contents page. My magazine is called 'The Leigh'. 

A few days ago we had to take the cameras again and take some shots for our school magazine cover, i took some shots of pupils working and of some others playing sports.
