Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Since the preliminary task, I can say that I have learnt a
number of different skills and techniques. Before, I did not make any preparations
for the shoot and it was done in a rush. During my music magazine task, I learnt
the importance of preparation and using time appropriately. It is important to
consider every aspect e.g. the look of the model, facial expressions, lighting,
and outfits. Before, my photo-shoot was not structured, however this time as I had
a better idea about the look I was aiming for and the colour schemes, I gave my
model clearer instructions to fit my expected look. Compared to the preliminary
task, I put in a lot more thought about the pose the model was doing. This time
it was a lot more different and I challenged the expected convention. I also
made full use of the pose e.g. placing a quote in the palm of the artist’s
hand. I was a lot more aware of the language that would be expected from my
readers due to carrying out more thorough research. Abbreviations were used in
context this time, which suited my audience a lot better as they can relate to
it. I was a lot more aware of different tools during the music magazine task,
which allowed me to confidently play around with the look of my magazine. Overall
I have developed new skills which had allowed me to try and gain a different
look compared to how my magazine looked in the preliminary task. I was able to
understand what my audience expected from the magazine a lot better this time
as I had researched in a lot more detail. Comparing the two, improvements can
be clearly seen.
