The document discusses lessons learned from a preliminary magazine project to a full magazine product. It notes that picture quality greatly increased due to better camera skills and photo editing software knowledge. For the full project, more planning went into the photo shoots, which improved organization and quality compared to the rushed preliminary task. Overall, skills in time management, organization, camera use, and photo editing grew between the two projects.

1. Question 7) Looking back at your
preliminary task, what do you feel
you have learnt in the progression
from it to the full product?

2. Prelim and Main magazine
You can see the picture quality has
greatly increased due to better
knowledge of the camera and the
effects that can be used on it and a
better knowledge and use of
picture modification programmes

3. Time management/organisation
In my preliminary task timing was not my strong point and the picture taking and editing
was rushed which left the overall quality of the magazine to be poor as it does take a
long time to edit a picture on Photoshop. It also was a struggle getting my model in the
right place with the right props for the photo-shoot which changed in my main task as I
planned out when I needed my model and what they needed to have with them and so
my main task photo-shoot was a lot more organised than my preliminary and so turned
out in better quality. For my main task I had more time to edit my magazine because I
set out the time into each section and this made my magazine look professional as
possible.
Overall I have learnt from
my preliminary task:
• Time management
• Organisation
• Camera skills
• Editing skills

4. Thank you
I have definitely come far since creating my
preliminary task as I have discovered skills and
knowledge in improving the quality of the
magazine
