Screenshots of my magazine double page spread
The document describes the process of creating a double page magazine spread about an indie musician. The creator started with a blank document and added a black background to match their color scheme. Pictures of the musician were added but weren't satisfactory, so new pictures were taken. A blue title was made to stand out against the black. The article text was written separately and copied over. The title was later changed to be larger. Additional pages were needed to fit the full article. A quote was added in the middle of a page for attention. An extra picture was used to fill empty space.

Evaluation
The document summarizes audience feedback received for various media products created as part of an evaluation, including a print advert, radio trailer, and 5-minute documentary clip. Feedback for the print advert was positive, finding the eye-catching image matched the genre, though some suggested brightening the colors. Feedback on the radio trailer was also positive, though the voiceover was found to not match the content well. Feedback on the documentary clip was mostly positive, though again the voiceover was noted as not matching the genre.

Photos relevant to the text were finally added, including the cover photo, to tie everything together cohesively.

Arc 2016

Unit 1 study guide review~2014 2015
The document provides a study guide for Unit 1 that reviews chapters 1-5. It includes questions about the Roman Empire's legacy in architecture and engineering, the development of feudalism in Europe, the role of the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages, life in medieval towns, and the decline of feudalism. The questions cover topics like Charlemagne's accomplishments, the purpose of guilds and specialization in trade, documents like the Magna Carta, and factors in the fall of feudalism like the Black Plague.
Editing process
We divided production work among the group, with the documentarian editing the documentary in Adobe Premier Pro, Siobhan creating a radio trailer, and Lauren a print advert. While editing took the longest, the group provided helpful input and decisions to shape the documentary. Different editing techniques like adjusting clip speeds were used to properly fit elements into the documentary and avoid viewer fatigue from lengthy shots.
The codes and conventions of interviews
This document provides guidelines for filming interviews, including positioning the interviewee slightly to the left or right of frame, using medium close-ups or close-ups as the primary shot types, having the interviewee look at the interviewer but not directly at the camera, and positioning the interviewer on the same eyeline as the interviewee. Cutaways are edited into interviews to avoid jump cuts and illustrate what the interviewee is discussing.
Questionnaire results finished
This document summarizes the results of a questionnaire given to 30 people to gather information and insights to help in the creation of a documentary about tattoos. Key findings included that most respondents were between 18-40 years old, favored rock music and the colors blue and purple, had at least one tattoo, and associated tattoos most with celebrities like Robbie Williams and Kat Von D. The majority said tattoos had no deep meaning for them and they were not influenced by family in their decision to get inked. This market research will guide decisions around targeting the 18-40 age range audience, incorporating certain music and colors into the documentary.
Codes and conventions
1) Documentary films utilize specific camerawork, editing, and audio techniques to present information in a clear and objective manner. Interviews are typically framed from the left or right in medium close-up or close-up shots. Archive footage uses handheld cameras while interviews are filmed with static cameras on tripods.
2) Graphics provide contextual information about interviewees through two-line identification cards. Cutaways and jump cuts are edited out to maintain a seamless narrative. Voiceovers introduce topics and link elements to create a cohesive story.
3) Music, when used, supports the thematic content. Editing focuses on clear storytelling through straightforward cuts rather than drawing attention to itself. The documentary
Question 3
IPC Media would be the best publisher for the author's indie music magazine because while Bauer Media publishes larger, more established music magazines and has a presence in radio and television, IPC only publishes one popular indie magazine, leaving room for another to draw in more of the indie music audience. IPC is also the UK's leading consumer magazine publisher, selling 350 million magazines per year.
Question 3
IPC Media would be the best publisher for the music magazine because they focus only on magazines while Bauer Media also has radio and TV stations, making it harder for a new indie magazine to compete. IPC already publishes the popular indie magazine NME and has room for another indie magazine to find an audience, whereas Bauer's magazines like Kerrang and Q are already well established.
