Magazine Assignment Unit 14

Magazine Assignment Evaluation

Before I began to create my magazine I put plenty of research into it; this varied from looking at other magazines and taking inspiration from them, also I began looking at the layout and designs for magazines in that genre so I could get a general scheme for my own magazine. Some of the magazines I exampled included: Total film magazine, Empire magazine and more. These magazines are some of the best in that genre; so taking inspiration from them is a good choice as they are highly rated by the public.

When I began the production of my magazine I created a pitch which is also present on the blog; the pitch included: magazine names, typography, fonts, and more. I would also state that I would follow the codes and conventions of a typical magazine in that genre.

I started by making a front cover for my magazine, it includes a masthead, main image and sub headings, I will include a picture of the front cover so it is visible in the blog. There were some complications as I had some previous attempts at making the front covers, some of these had minor details on that didn't make it to my standard. Also I took some secondary sources from google for my final magazine, this could cause some problems as I could get a copyright strike from using other images.

Secondly, I created a double page spread for my magazine. this included a fictional article of a new horror film that was coming out. The article included some behind the scenes facts, cast interviews and a brief synopsis to the movie. I had images of myself included on the page and some other images that I took off Google; again I could be served a copyright strike for using other images.

Film Editing

After i had shot all my film, i put it together in Adobe Premiere Pro, i chose Premiere Pro as it is an easy software to cut and edit footage. The footage i got could all be put into Premiere Pro and then i could drag it onto the movie timeline; after it has been dragged into the timeline i could cut little things out that were flaws in the footage and also clip shots together. Some shots i added music into my movie, the music i used was from youtube which i referenced in my music sheet. The music was simple to put in as i could cut to the part i wanted then drag it to the section of the movie it was being used. The audio was simple as i could turn up the decibels making it more louder and clear for the audience to hear. I could also clip different camera shots together making it into editing techniques; for example i could use two pieces of footage to make it look like a shot reverse shot.

Unit 14 Task 1 Digital and print magazines both have their pros and cons; digital magazines have a wider range as most people have access to the internet in the present day, however for the people that still don’t have access to the internet will not be able be able to use the online magazine. Print magazines are more memorable when reading as they are more interactive for the reader; however, when finished reading they will most likely forget about the magazine and not read it again. One of the most if not most popular film magazines is Empire. They appeal to most fans as the magazines feature a lot of film content including; movie reviews, star interviews and upcoming movies.
