Project Selection- Magazine

One choice for the AICE Media Studies Component 1 is to design a magazine.  There are many things about print journalism that appeal to me.  One such aspect is photography.  I have always loved photography and I take pictures of virtually everything.  The picture requirement for this project is a minimum of 4 photographs.  Another part of this project that interests me is the opportunity to design the layout of a magazine.  I am a very creative person and I like to use that creativity in my projects.  I will be able to incorporate a color scheme, text font, and layout of my choice.  A final thing I like about this project is that I can make the magazine about anything that I want.  I am interested in fashion, so I could make a fashion magazine.  This project is open for each individual's own ideas and choices which makes it something that interests me.  I do think that this project will be a challenge for me, though.  One aspect that will be challenging to me is the technological aspect of it.  I am not very "tech-savvy" and I don't know how to use complex graphic design programs.  I do think this will be the biggest challenge for me, but I am a fast learner so I believe I will be able to figure it out.

Critical Creative Reflection 4

How did you integrate technologies-software, hardware, and online-in this project? For this project I used my iPhone 6s for filming.  I increased the quality of the film in the settings in order to film a clearer picture.  I also was able to use my brother's drone and his GoPro camera to film the aerial shot in the park.  I also used a USB mic to record the voiceovers.  For editing, I used PremierPro on computers provided by my high school.  For my submissions, drafts of my film were posted on my YouTube channel.  I used many different pieces of technologies to complete this film.

Creative Critical Reflection 2

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as real media text? My film engages audiences by starting at the end.  The viewers know that Jake is dead and that Kate is on her way home from his funeral, but the film then expands on this happy love story between the two of them.  While there is the sad aspect to the film, it focuses on all of the happy memories and experiences these teens had while they were together.  The goal of the film is to evoke a range of emotions in the viewers and take them on a rollercoaster of feelings.  This movie would be distributed in a very similar way to other movies in this genre.  It would spend a few weeks in the movie theatres and then distributed to streaming sites and released on DVD.  Since the target audience is mainly teens and young adults, the ability to distribute the movie for online streaming would allow the film to reach more individuals,
