Experimenting with Magazine

Here we had to create a college newspaper styles front cover including images, a head title and a main story. Doing so would include the main features needed in a front cover of a magazine. Here I have written about Tavistock college's next Einstein as my main story. Then including two shorter stories, 'Keep the octagon clean' and 'Tavistock town football club'. Including more smaller stories makes the magazine more believable and real like The Herald and The Sun.

By doing this task I have learnt that it isn't difficult to find stories to write about, this may help me in my magazine when I feature on the front stories that will be inside. As well as this, I have learnt how to layout a type of genre of magazine, the newspaper. Including images visuals shows the readers what the story is informing you about, this makes the stories become real. Now that I have created a practice newspaper I feel more confident when it comes to creating my own magazine.

Experimenting with Film

Finished Preliminary Task from Lucy Gosling on Vimeo.

Here myself and two other members have worked together to create a short film that includes, walking through a door and showing match on action ( a close up shot of an action taking place ) and then sitting down and filming the start of a conversation. When filming the conversation you had to include some main film shot ttechniques such as 'over the shoulder' and 'close ups' maybe a 'reaction shot'.

Here I have my Preliminary task for Film. I did this task to show I have experimented with Film and from that I have decided I would prefer to do written magazine work. I chose the option of Magazine because I showed more interest in language and journalism instead of film and editing, and found Magazine would be my better option.
