Question 7

Looking back at you preliminary task how have you processed from production of it to full product.

Final product:

The difference between my preliminary task and final product with concerns to the research was defiantly due to the time construction. I had a very limited amount of time on the preliminary task to do research therefore my over all research for it was of much less depth.

In my final product I researched several into much more depth getting a better understanding of: font style, target audience, gender, genre, colour, photograph styles and skills etc. The internet played a much bigger role in my research for the final product however I also did a lot more primary research as well.
Despite the research being very time consuming, it was certainly a vital part in the product of the magazine ensuring I was able to create a professional product of good quality with realistic features.
Where as in my preliminary I only had three weeks to research and create the overall product I had much more time for the final piece allowing time to create and overall better product. I kept to a much tighter time schedule ensuring meet deadlines and worked in the way a real media producer would have too. Part of this timing process included me having too book models and arrange times, book the studio an cameras so I knew when I would be doing my photo shoots and I could schedule this into my blogger diary and could organise other things around it. I was working by a weekly plan and knew what I had to do every week to ensure I would get everything done.

The quality of the images in my final product in comparison to my preliminary task prove that I have learnt new skills and techniques based on my camera work .The use of certain colours, font s and text size all suggest certain meaning and reflect on the genre and style of the magazine. These factors are something which I considered much more in the final product as I spent more time researching them and realising their importance.
The layout of my preliminary product was very badly organised and after comparing it to my final product I have noticed many faults with it. I have picked up on these points as after producing final product I have a better knowledge about what is appropriate for this type of media product and I have learnt many new skills on my way helping me produces higher quality work. On my final product I used indesign and photo shot to help me use a more professional layout as I created lines and columns to get a professional look and organise my layout. When comparing my sky lines and mast heading I can see how much photo shop has helped me as it has allowed me to create a more professional look and they both now stand out more and fit the genre of my music magazine.
