Question 7

Looking back at you preliminary task how have you processed from production of it to full product.
(top 3 images are my final production, last two are the preliminary task.


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.
