The document discusses layout ideas for a double page magazine spread. It describes liking a spread from NME magazine that featured a large central black and white image with overlaying text boxes. Smaller text boxes were seen as making the text more manageable. Quotes from band members were thought to appeal to audiences. Another spread presented an interview in a way that distinguished questions from answers through bold or larger text. Columns separated by thin lines and larger quote text overlapping an image were other liked aspects. The writer intends to use multiple images, larger fonts, and text overlapping images for their own double page spread.

Evaluation
My research into television dramas helped with the structure and layout of my magazine article. I looked at reviews, episodes, and conventions to see how information was organized. Researching audience preferences through surveys helped tailor the article to their interests. The magazine promotes the TV drama through engaging characters and storylines that appeal to teenagers.

It also allows independent developers to self-publish on Xbox One through its ID@Xbox program.
Jenkins – prosumer theory, 2006
Jenkins discusses the concept of "prosumer theory" where consumers are no longer just passive viewers of media but are active producers and contributors of content, such as by providing feedback or remixing and sharing content. As online platforms allow for more participation, the line between professional and amateur is blurred. While companies encourage prosumerism for their own aims, it could lead to audiences gaining more control over media than mass media companies.

- Shakespeare wrote many influential plays in the 1600s that explored language and themes. The King James Bible was published in 1611 and helped standardize English.
- In the 1700s and 1800s, English vocabulary expanded due to trade and colonization. Johnson's dictionary was published in 1755. The 19th century saw the rise of novels, newspapers, children's books, and dialect poetry.

Analysing existing print adverts (newspaper) and making my own one
This document analyzes existing print advertisements for Channel 4 and discusses elements to include in creating an advertisement for the student's documentary. It notes that Channel 4 ads typically feature a transparent logo, integrated images, puns and humor. When creating a mock-up ad, the student incorporates still images from the documentary footage, layered in Photoshop to give a "dreamy" effect fitting the band's style. The ad is meant to provide more information than an early teaser and entice audiences by showing band performances.
Genre theory – david gauntlet
David Gauntlett argues that genres are changing as audiences have become producers of media through tools like Twitter. He asserts that conventional research must be supplemented by recognizing people's creativity rather than seeing them only as receivers. Examples like Shaun of the Dead and The Grand Budapest Hotel challenge genre expectations by mixing genres like horror and comedy. This underground film scene produces new media not bound by what professional producers can include, leading to less standardized genres that subvert audience expectations.
Survey monkey
The document discusses a survey conducted about music documentaries. It finds that most respondents were female, watched these documentaries, and listened to alternative rock and indie music. As such, the document recommends tailoring a music documentary to this target audience by focusing on a current band producing this genre of music. It also suggests including live footage and interviews to give viewers insight into the band members, as well as footage from different eras to appeal to those who enjoy older music. Dramatic moments and a cohesive storyline are also recommended to mimic the style of movies that respondents preferred in documentaries.
My first ancillary task analysis
This document analyzes the codes and conventions of listings magazines like Radio Times and TV Choice to inform the creation of a double page spread for a documentary. Key aspects analyzed include placement of the masthead, use of images, text, and colors. Radio Times features a large central image in low lighting making the subject look mysterious, while TV Choice uses cut-out character images on a bright background and friendly rounded fonts. Both magazines employ techniques like buzz words, prices, and captions to attract readers' attention and complement the visual elements.
Genre of my documentary
The document discusses different theories of documentary genres/modes:
1. Nichols' five modes - poetic, expository, participatory, observational, and reflexive. The poetic mode uses associations over continuity, while the expository uses voiceover to propose arguments.
2. De Bromhead adds three more modes - linear (classic storytelling), discursive (information-driven), and episodic (juxtaposed episodes building meaning).
3. The author wants their music documentary to blend the poetic and discursive modes for an emotive, factual film using past and present footage. They also cite performative and observational modes for a personal yet removed perspective.
Image manipulation
The document discusses the process of editing a photo in Photoshop for use on a mock magazine cover. Some of the editing techniques used include spot healing to remove imperfections, adjusting brightness/contrast, adding Gaussian blur, editing color balance and exposure. Creating layers and using an eraser helped apply effects selectively. Aligning the image and choosing a masthead color were also important design decisions. Creating a mock-up in Publisher helped experiment with the overall layout.
Image manipulation
The document describes the process of editing a photo in Photoshop and experimenting with layouts in Publisher to create a mock magazine cover. It details steps taken to remove imperfections from the model's face, add blur and adjust colors, brightness and contrast. Placement of images and selection of masthead color are also discussed. The purpose was to experiment with software features, get an idea of how the layout might look, and identify techniques to use or avoid for the final cover design.
Experiment on eye witness testimonies thea, jody, rahc, pennie
The students conducted an experiment on eyewitness testimony, replicating a study by Loftus and Palmer. They showed participants a video of a car accident and gave them a questionnaire with questions about details from the video. One critical question was worded differently between conditions - asking some participants if they saw "any broken glass" and others if they saw "the broken glass". Contrary to expectations, participants asked about "any broken glass" were more likely to say they saw broken glass, even though there was none. The students hypothesized this may have been due to an imbalance between male and female participants in each condition.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Double page spread ideas
- 1. Double page spread ideas
- 2. I found some magazine pages that caught my eye
- 3. I liked this which I found in an NME magazine. I liked it because it was a double page spread mostly focussed on the main image. It had a main image in black and white – and it was a perfect image it looked old – and then had small boxes of text over it. I like this idea as it makes the text more manageable as they come in smaller bits. I like the idea of a text box overlapping an image also it gives an edgy feel to the magazine. It also looks quite professional and smart as the text is in mature font . The box isn’t completely bright white also - so it’s even more easy on the eye. It also uses mainly quotes too which I like as I find that will be appealing to audiences as they can feel closer to band members they may look up to.
- 4. Here I liked the way in which the text presented an interview. I did an interview with someone I know over emails about music as I think I will use that in my magazine of that of an interview with someone else – and I thought that this way of setting it out looked appealing to the eye. I like the way that the names of the participants in the interview is larger or in bold compared with their response. I thought this was a good way to distinguish between the questions and the answers. It also makes the text stand out a little more as it is not just large blocks on the same font and size of text which makes it easier to read for people and maybe not seem so daunting.
- 5. This is an image of a double page spread I Found In NME magazine that appealed to me. I liked the way the coulombs worked and how They were separated by the small thin line – This made I look ‘tidy’ to me. What I also liked about this was the fact that It had larger texts such as the quote in red On the left page. I like this idea and may use It in my magazine as I think quotes from band Members may be very interesting to my Readers therefore it should be in a larger font Size. I also liked how this text overlapped the Image overlapped the image slightly. This gives A ‘rebellious’ and ‘edgy’ feel as it in not complying to the normal rules of how it should be set out all separately. Moreover the fact that in my questionnaire I found that more people preffered images to text I like that this page has more than one image on it. On my double page spread I will use between 3-5 images to make it easy on the eye and appealing to my target audience.
