school magazine

Research + Planning I didn't do any planning for this project I just went straight into it. As for research I looked at magazines available to the public and studied their layout on the front cover and what text they used to grab the attention of their target audience. I studied the magazines that are available to us at school and looked at the colors they used such as a bright reds which stand out against a white background. Rock magazines examples include deep reds blacks and greys, the background are usually a picture white not lot of white or lighter colors. Then I studied the contents page and the feature and colors used on them. The magazines I studied had a continuous theme from he front cover to the contents which makes the magazine flow well such as the headings and color theme of the magazine. only the layout of the page changed to mix it up a bit which makes the magazine more interesting so the reader doesn't get bored. One of the problems I faced was making my magazine a school magazine and appropriate for that genre. The magazines I studied and researched before were all music magazines so I couldn't make many links and similarities between the two type's. I struggled to create my contents page as I didn't know the type of features a school magazine would include as their different to music and public magazines. I struggled to balance appropriate content for a school magazine and more relaxed social content. To fix this problem I should of researched school magazines and analyzed them instead of music magazines. Problems

What I have learned about the technology
To edit our movie we used Final Cut Pro which I had no idea how to use before. We also used garage band to create sounds and music for our film which I also didn't know how to do before. Thanks to this task I now know how to use these programs.

What I have learned about editing

I now know how to use transitions, colour the actual shots, add sound effects, add music. We also
learnt how to add credits top our film which looked professional and effective.

What I will improve next time

Next time I will focus on how to create a more smoother transistion between shots.

how does the darling buds of may portray sound

Darling buds of May sound essay

The country man when addressing the women uses the term “ma” showing he’s been raised in a more rural area with country folk. You can hear birds chirping in the background showing it’s in the country side. The sound of the cobbles on the roads when the towns man is walking shows most of the landscape is all natural. The way the country man says “nice weather isn’t it” and the taxis mans no reply’s highlights how different their ways or communicating are and how uneducated the country man is. The sounds of the turkeys going mad shows how the taxis man is not used to this sort of environment and contrasts how he’s out of his comfort zone.
