Last year at AS Level I created a music magazine aptly named
"Self Made" that focused on Hip Hop and Rap music. I learnt about and
used various technology whilst creating my magazine and I also learnt a lot
about how to manage a media project. No doubt that these skills will be a great
help when studying A2 Media.
Technology
Whist creating my magazine I learnt how to use various technology
such as photo editing software (Photoshop) and digital design software
(Indesign). I also used hardware such as a digital camera and various lights to
create the featured photographs in my magazine. Finally I made use of online
technology such as Blogger to share my posts and updates on my project, I also
used a site called survey monkey to create an online survey to amass feedback
regarding what to include in my magazine.
Managing a media project
Managing a media project
Managing a media project wasn’t an easy task and took good
organisational skills as well as creative skills. I learnt that keeping track
and documenting changes made to my project efficiently was necessary to ensure
that I could successfully analyse my project from start to finish.
Critical analysis of final project
If I were to redo my media project again I would firstly consider
taking more photos in different locations rather than just taking all of my
photos in one shoot; this would make the magazine a lot more interesting and
hopefully ad more eye catching colour to the project. I would also consider
editing the colour scheme as my current colour scheme is very dark and does not
catch the eye as I would has wished.
How I will improve this year
I will improve this year by:
1.
Constantly
drafting and redrafting my project so that I can be sure that I am 100% happy
with the result before submitting it.
2.
Committing
more effort outside of the class room to my project.
3.
Ensuring
that all my work is submitted on time.
