Plenary:

It is important to create a schedule because you then are organised and don't have to worry about time and when you will do something. I am most likely going to struggle with manipulating photos, layout of front page and the article. I will learn how to use photoshop.

NEA part 8 -- CASTING

Tuesday 30th April 2019

Casting

Introduction

The purpose of this task is so that i can to identify the actors/models that i'm going to use in my products. This will help me decide who i should put in the real pictures.

Actor's Name:

Kiran Dosanjh

Ryan Birch

Why they are suitable

Kiran is suitable for this as he is my brother and will most likely go along with what i'm saying. This makes it easier for me to take pictures of him as we live together so i can do it at any time. My Brother also has had football experience as he has played for a team for 5 years give or take. Furthermore he will most likely want to do it as he has nothing better to do than homework, and he doesn't like homework.

He is not suitable however as he doesn't like to do things for over 10 minutes as he gets bored so it could be hard getting his to pose. 

Ryan is suitable for the job as he also has lots of football experience. He also loves to be in the spotlight most of the time so he would probably say yes. As he is one of my good friends he should help me do different camera angles. He is 5ft so it will be easy to fit him onto the screen on the front cover.

However  he might not be suitable as we would have to arrange a time to do it and it might not fit in with my schedule.

NEA part 7 -- Location Information

Tuesday 23rd April 2019

Location

INTRODUCTION

In this task i will be using location to help create and asses the locations i'm going to use for my brief and photography. This will help me create the images for my media product and the main images on my magazines.

Harris Academy Chafford Hundred ---- The field

Address: Mayflower Rd, London, Chafford Hundred, Grays RM16 6SA

This location is very suitable for this Magazine as there is a football pitch and my magazine is about football.

RISKS:

The Gate to the field can often be closed so i won't be able to get in

Another risk is if there are too many people there so i won't be able to take clean pictures





Location 2 -- Pride Park

Address:

This is a suitable location as it gives me a good picture of a real size football stadium and will be great for the background of the magazine.

Risk:
weather has to be good
people can't get in the way of the camera
The location is quite far away so i'd need a lot of time.

Conclusion:
I know that i will have to travel far in order to get the bigger pictures but it would be worth it when I get the image. As well as this i need to be able to organise it with my family so that we can go to derby. I have learnt that i will have to be more independent within my tasks.

NEA part 6 Product style profile

Tuesday 23rd April 2019

Product profile

In this  page i will be sketching what my magazine will look like in order to help me create a final product.

This will give me ideas for background and colour theme of my magazine.

1) The first draft was probably my best one as most people liked it so i will most likely try to use as much of that design as possible. I was told by some people that it looked blank in some places so in the future i know to fill those gaps with colour, writing,etc.

2) People said that my second draft was empty at the bottom and should have included more towards the end. But now i know in future to include more.

3) Draft 3 is what i would say is the same as Draft 1 accept for the space i left at the bottom of the page. If i were to choose this option i would have to cover it with lots of colour, whereas if i chose the 1st Draft i would easily be able to make the colour theme fit with the image and my ideas i have in my mind.



Plenary:

-- I will find this very useful as i will be able to look over this to create my final product.
-- I will take all of my feedback on board in order to make the best magazine cover as i can.

My MOOD BOARD ----- NEA 5

Tuesday 2nd April 2019

MOOD BOARD

• 1 What brief did you choose?

• 2 What are the minimum requirements for your chosen production?
• 3 What is the target audience as prescribed in the brief?
• 4 What is your target audience for the product you're creating? (this needs to link to the audience profiling post).

1 I chose to create an educational magazine, as my brief.

2 i need to include a minimum of 5 of my own images, a front cover and a double page spread article.

3 The target audience in the brief is 10 -13 year olds 

4 My target audience mainly focuses on 13-14 year olds

IN this task i will explore different fonts images and colours to help improve my overall product and how it will look. I will focus on the connotations of other media products and use them to compare my ideas to make the best possible product.

MOOD BOARD

 

• How did they helped you define content for your product?
• What will be your overall colour scheme of your production?
• What kind of images/shots would you use in your production?
• What kind of fonts would you use in your production?
• What kind of mise-en-scene would you use in your production?
• What kind of intertextuality would you use in your production?
• Which media theory(ies) are you likely to use in your production?

1) i now know how to present my magazine and what to include.
2)  i think my overall colour scheme will be quite bright, e.g. blue, green, yellow etc.
3) I would have to use long to medium shots and focus on a player controlling the football and how they move. i could also include an image of a stadium.
4) I will use sort of chunky or big fonts, as that is what you can see on most football magazines.
5) The mise en scene i would use is a football a player and football boots
6) i would have some one who maybe is not a football star holding a football, perhaps a celebrity so people who know them pick up the magazine.
7) I think i would focus on the front cover looking nice and the colours all matching each other and use representation on a footballer.

Conclusion 

I think that i will take from this how to lay out my front cover and how my colour scheme will match the front picture. i will make sure the font is not too big, but still catches your eye.
I also think that i should include images of people doing kick ups in the tutorial article to show off what you will be able to do at the end of the magazine. This mood board is good because i think it will help me with my course work (magazine).
