When I worked on my preliminary task I had little understanding of what was involved in creating a magazine, although I had created a film magazine in year 11 it was very unprofessional due to my lack of Photoshop skills.
The preliminary task was fairly rushed; I took 5 or 6 quick photos in the library and the canteen with my models standing in very basic poses. I took my photos in a library so that I wouldn’t need to cut out the background when creating the preliminary task. If I was to create the task again I would have spent more time taking the pictures so that I had a variety of successful shots to include.
Whilst creating my current magazine I also took many more photos than in my preliminary task, I took over 500 photos, which gave me much more variety when creating the magazine. I have also learnt how to take successful and imaginative shots, using a variety of poses and props, at a variety of different angles. This benefitted me whilst creating my actual magazine because the photos looked more professional and interesting. I didn’t put much thought into the planning of my preliminary task, I simply made most of it up as I went along, which resulted in an unprofessional and slightly child-like magazine.
I planned my final magazine a lot more, by creating initial designs on paper, as well as brainstorming ideas about sell lines etc on Prezi and PowerPoint.
When I made my preliminary task I found it very hard to cut out photos on Photoshop effectively which is why I opted to take photos that I didn’t need to remove the background from, however when creating my final magazine I had lots of time to spend on practising this skill which enabled me to improve a substantial amount and cut out photos effectively.
