Final Cover, Content and Double Page spread

Question 7

Looking back from my first attempt to make a Magazine cover and Content page i think  i have improved and looked at my mistakes.

My main targets for my main magazine was

1. have a varity of picture from different shots and angles

2. have a better structure of the magazine

I think that my structure has mass-ivy  Improved as my Music magazine looks much better, interesting and best of all look some time has been put into it. My only problem would the shots as they are regular and are only headshots.

                                   

Again like my Cover, it looks much more interesting having a better detail in each page i have have marked out, having more than one color on the page and also having a bit more structure. Although i think that the shots used in the school magazine are a bit better using angling but using an high angle picture with the character "Mad Jack" could look a bit stupid

Question 5

British Film

British films in recent years have become much more popular, however some have debated what makes a british or how british does a film need to be. 

For example Kickass, is a british film, it was filmed in Britain, the money is british from a company called Marv Films and the director Matthew de Vere Drummond too is british however not all the actors are british such as christopher Charles Mintz,Chloë Grace Moretz  and Nicolas Cage and some of the set as well. which many can agree makes it a british film, however films like Gravity can be questionable.

For most of the main parts of making of the film is actually British such as the actors, the set and the writers are American however the soundtrack composed by Steven Price, a studio that helped with the production of the film "Heyday films" and the producer Alfonso Cuaron is British.

So films without a doubt is British films such as Shaun of the dead. as all parts of it are all British such as the Actors (Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Kate Ashfield), Money(Big Talk Productions, Working Title Film), Set(filmed entirely in London), Director (Edgar Wright)

Question 6

I used a arge range of different Programs to create my Music Magazine such as:

Photoshop: I used Photoshop in making my Music Magazine. It was at the start very difficult as I had never used photoshop and with the different versions I had seen it became even confusing, however over time i got better being able to crop, change color of images, understand layering and a basic use of the different versions it's self.

Prezi: This was used when I was answering my question 2 and 4. although I had never used this program I got use to it really quickly, and found that was something I plan to use maybe in the future

with its simple timeline system and ability to make presentations more interesting to look at.

Powtoons: This was a program that had recently come out, it was sometime that when i played around with got the hang of it making little avatars to be a kind of presenter, the simple timeline like wiht prezi and the use of much more i haven't even tried yet.

Slideshare: I used Slideshare for my Question. I found that there wasn't really much to this program sine it was just a way to make a slideshow for with images like with powerpoint, however I found that it was much better to use as a presentation than powerpoint but I would prefer

Powerpoint.


















Powerpoint and Publisher : I used powerpoint for my question 3 like i say up above and Publisher for question 5. i have always been able to use powerpoint with ease, it's always something i have used since the 2002 version. Same with Publisher which was something I never really used but from time to time, got better.

Datfont: It was originally going to be used to make my title for the Magazine I made up, however I found that it was was difficult to switch the colors since they are just black and white. But thanks to me now knowing how to use PhotoShop I believe I could give it a go and be successful with it.
