I have been set the task to make a film including a series of shots, however I did not follow the criteria because I did not include a shot reverse shot in the film and this was part of the criteria. I have asked some people to star in my film and they have acted out all of the dialog and I have shot all but one of the many shots that were required, I have included a close up, shot both sides of the door opening and closing, I have then done an over shoulder shot, then an aerial shot and then another over shoulder shot. When I filmed the shots I then uploaded them onto the computer and I finally edited it on the computer, then I finished off by uploading it onto my blogger.


In the film that I have made there are a few mistakes that I have made in the film, one of them mistakes is that I have left the tripod in the scene (this is visible when the video is on 0.13 to 0.16 seconds in the film)




I then made another mistake and this was that I did not follow the criteria, I did this by not including a shot reverse shot into my film. If I could improve this film I would correct these two mistakes that I have done and I would do this by checking that there is no equipment in the scene and then I would double check that I have applied all of different shots that are required in the film.


There are many shots that are used in film today and I have applied some of them shots in my film and all of them are in this order:
· Close up
· Master shot
· Pan
· Over shoulder
· Pan
· Over shoulder
· Aerial shot
· Mid shout


In total there are 8 different camera shots that are in my film and they are in the order shown, the close up shot is a close up of the door handle, then the master shot was showing the audience the location of the film, then the pan followed the person walking into the room, walking across the room, then the over shoulder shot was following the person into the other room showing his point of view with him in the picture, then there was another pan shot with the person entering another room where someone else is waiting and it follows him until he sits down, then there is an over shoulder shot with two people and they then start to talk, then there is an aerial shot of the two people talking and finally there is a mid shot of one of the people talking. I then uploaded the film onto the computer and then edited all of the scenes cutting all of the unnecessary bits of the scenes, finally I then uploaded it onto YouTube and then I pasted the video onto my blog.


The mise en scene in the film that I have made is all to do with school, I have used all of the things in the film to link with the fact that the two people are students in a lesson, I have used the tables in the room to relate to the idea of a class room also I have used a desk in that room for the teacher also the rooms are very plain and there are notices on the walls, there is a notice board, a fire bell, a fire exit, there is a poster diagram on the wall and there are a lot of chairs that are always in schools, all of these props are included to convince the audience that the tow people are in a school and are waiting for the teacher. I have then used a dark room on the outside of the class rooms and then there is a classroom with the light on and finally the end classroom is quite dark with the light from outside shining through the window, this backs the idea of the two students are waiting for the teacher to come into the lesson.

I have been set the task to make a magazine on any topic that I choose, this magazine that I have made is based on sports, I have taken a photo of someone that is holding a baseball bat and I have also included two other images, one of them is a football goal and the other is a golfer with the ball at his feet. Then I applied the tile at the top of the cover as a masthead, then I applied a bar code at the bottom on the right of the cover, then I applied a sneak preview of the contents page at the bottom as a strap line, then I finally applied the price, the ‘Goal!’ text and the competition onto the cover.

The conventions that my magazine follows are: sports, hobbies and sports equipment, all of these points are unisex, this means that it is aimed at both sexes and can also be aimed at all ages from at least 3 years of age to people who are in their 80’s, this is because sports are for anyone, people can play them at any age and any sex. This means that the magazine that I have made will attract everyone. I have followed the rules of a magazine convention by applying a bar code and putting it on the bottom right of the cover, I have included a masthead, I have included some pictures on the cover that are related to the subject, I have included the price of the magazine, i have stuck to the three colours palette, I have included a competition, I have applied a strap line at the bottom of the page with some of the contents page in the text and finally I have made the overall thing look professional.

I have not broken any of the conventions in the magazine cover. But I did break a few of them on the draft of the cover which I have fixed and they are: the bar code was in the wrong place, there was not title for the magazine, and no colours were suggested (drawn in or written down).

I have used a simple yet effective colour palette; this is by using only three different colours on the whole of the front cover and the colours that I have used are: Red, Blue and White. All of these colours are used to help draw in all of the people that are obsessed with sports, I have used a blue for the boys / men and a red for the girls / ladies. I have used the colour blue to attract all of the boys because it is a very masculine colour and it is associated with boys the most, i then use the colour red to attract the girls because it is a colour that boys and girls are both associated with, but it is more of a feminine colour (I did not choose the most feminine that is pink because it did not fit in as well with the colour blue), I have also used red because it looks better with blue and it is also associated with anger / contact / danger and so on... most of the associations with red are mainly associated with sports so it seemed the best colour to use. Finally I have chosen the colour white because it is a neutral colour that will attract all of the different age groups and also suggests that the magazine will be sensible with all of the sports and the news.

This magazine will convince and persuade the readers to go out and play all of the sports that are in the magazine such as: cricket, tennis, football and so on... if they read about all of the sports that will be in the magazine then that will encourage them to go out and start playing them sports. Then the magazine will tell them all about the sports and what the rules of the sports are.
The magazine will appeal to both new and regular readers because the cover looks interesting and fun, this will then attract the new readers to look at the magazine and then they will look inside to read what it is about, this will then make them want to read the magazines, also it will appeal to the regular readers because the appearance of the magazine cover looks professional and it will encourage them to read my magazine.

The magazine that I have produced will be circulated once every week, this will give the readers more time to read all of the articles whilst it is still in date and I will apply the date of the magazine on the front cover so it is easy for the reader to know whether it is an old magazine or the new one out.

i have been set a task to find a magazine cover on the internet and then to annotate it, i have chosen a magazine from tog gear that is advertising cars, i then listead all of the different layers in this magazine and i then tried to re-make this magazine cover.

-the convention that this magazine covers is about cars, supercars and it is based on the tv series called tog gear, this is all about cars.

-the magazine cover breaks are that the bar code is on the top lrft of the cover and it is supposed to be on the bottom right of the cover in the corner, then there is no strap line at the bottom of the cover.

-the colour palette that has been used within this cover is best suited for men as there is a lot of dull / dark coloured cars and the clouds in the background are grey, therefore making the surrounding on the ground dark and dull, also there is a pale red title with a purple strapline, all of these colours are very masculin and are best suited for men / teenage boys.

-this cover provokes the audience to want to buy a sports car e.g. the Audi R8, this is because the cover is advertising sports cars and it will tell the audience all about the cars also there will be pictures of all the different angles of the cars inside the mag to persuade them even more.

-this magazine appeals to both new and regula readers because the magazine cover looks interesting with all of the different sports cars and the readers whether they are ne or regula will be interested with the pictures, this is because they can fantasize about having one.

-the magazine is published by the BBC and the topgear team, this is known because there is a logo at the top of the cover, the circulation of this magazine would be weekly because there is a date on the cover next to the barcode.

-i have learnt about all of the conventions that a magazine has to follow, i have also learnt that if any of the conventions have been broke then you will have to produce supporting studies to justify their actions, then i have learnt that there are colour palets that attracts the audience to the mag and finaly all of the pictures whether they can inspire new or regular readers.
