3. production experiments
The document describes experiments with magazine layout designs. For the front cover, the author tested placing a photo of Zendaya over the title and settled on using a grey background photo. For the double page spread, grids helped with layout and a theme was added using colored dots in a photo. Pull quotes in the theme colors were also tested. In a reflection, the author notes elements they want to keep - like colors matching, titles behind models, pull quotes, varied layouts, and using guides for professionalism.

Positioning it back to the left left wasted space, so a grey banner was added to make elements more

He suggests that music videos demonstrate genre characteristics, have relationships between lyrics and visuals as well as music and visuals, and include demands from record labels like closeups of artists. Goodwin also identified 5 ways to analyze music videos including looking at "thought beats" that see sound, narratives and performances, star images, relationships between visuals and songs, and technical aspects like editing and special effects.
Question 4+5
The document discusses the target audience and scenes used to attract the audience for a thriller film opening. The target audience is identified as ages 18-40 because of violent content like torture. To attract this audience, the opening was made slower-paced so viewers could follow the plot without revealing too much. A brief torture scene was also included toward the end to increase intrigue without fully explaining the story, motivating the audience to watch more. Addressing the audience, the opening challenges thriller stereotypes with a slower pace but includes the torture scene to prevent losing interest and keep the audience wondering what will happen next.

Eval for mag
- 1. . What programs did you use? InDesign and photo shop. I used photo shop to change the colour of my nail to white and add more blonde to the hair. What tools did you use? I used Text, different types of font and on photoshopfor cropping tool for cropping my own photo. I also used the smudging tool to make my face look clearer. I used the spot healing tool to get rid of blemishes. Have you learnt any new skills or used any tools you haven’t before? No I have used the same tools as other projects What are the strengths and weaknesses of your cover? The strengths of my cover is the colour match and the picture background looks the same. My weaknesses are the layout as it isn’t exactly right and the font sizes. Are you pleased with it? Yes I am pleased with it because they are both similar and I tried my best to make them look the same. The fonts and colours of the text are well matched and the layout of each headline and side heading are in the right places. Does it look like the original cover? Yes as I matched the colours and the layout the best I could What would you change or do differently if you did this project again? I would choose a more difficult cover as this one was pretty easy to copy because all you had to do was get the font, colour and photo right. I think the lighting need to be lighter and I needed it more focus of the person as not all the back ground is unfocused like the original photo. The photo was easy to re-create as all I needed was white nail varnish thick eyeliner and a pretty top and as my hair isn’t as blonde as the models I used photo shop to take the colour of her hair and highlighted my own hair.
