Beginning of January (upto the 9th) 2012

For the beginning of the year we had a double lesson, in this lesson we simply carried on working with our DPS for the magazine, I felt this double to be a really good lesson as I progressed with my DPS as it is nearly done! not to much to do with it now which is a relief in some respects...

9th jan,

In this lesson, we started focusing on the other part of the examination, taking notes of how magazines make their monies...

Week beginning 12th September 2011.

In this lesson I have researched a music magazine (XXL Magazine). This is a high levelled music magazine and is aimed at the target audience genre of Hip – Hop & Rap. It is very clear and catches the eye almost immediately, for these reasons and for my own personal opinion of ‘good music’ I choose this magazine to research for my upcoming project of publishing a music magazine!

I also annotated a school magazine published as 'Fly'. I annotated this magazine to help me research and to design my school front cover for thier magazine... it did help and I got a few ideas and what layout works best.

After I had done that, I then made a draft copy of my school front cover!

As  I missed the lesson of the 21st I had to pick up what I had missed, in this lesson we did an activity that involved Magazine Rate Card, we had to make up realistic figures to make sure this section looked good towards our music magazines. This will be posted up under 'research/planning'.

After this we also studied some of the disababled, and what the encoder constucts them as....

In this double lesson we have started the production of our front cover for our music magazine... I've personally made a decent start, however, it is very hard work but a challenge to be completed! hopefully my end result will be what I pictured in my head!

In the next lesson I will carry on where I left off, adding more text to my cover.

In todays lesson we created an example of 'age' using a sterotypical thing with in a moodboard. I choose to do a typical young lad with a hoody robbing some one to get some money to buy some new clothes.

also learnt there are 3 types of choices for encoders:
1. what to shoot - mise en scene
2. how to shoot - camera work
3. how to present the shot - editing/montage

and lastly, we learnt different types of angle shots/distance shots too...the basic camera techniques!

Encoder - Creates the text
Decoder - absorbs the information

Situated Reality - no expirence
intertexuality - text and picture links together
stereotype - short cut sign
hyper reality - some representations are more real than real

Typology - stuart hall example of 'blacks'
slave
native
entertainer
