Creativity Questions G325

Planning (looking back at last year)
What features of your work would you say are original to you?


There were parts of my work which were was original such as in magazines the editors normally place the photos either in between the text or make a collage on one page however i decided to put my images in a film strip to make it more original and unique.


Which media texts and producers have influenced your creative decisions?
 When i created my media portfolio i looked into many magazines that are already available such as mixmag, NME etc. The layouts of these different genre music magazines inspired me to be creative with my own idea's for my project.

How successfully does your work engage its audience and provoke its interest?

I believe that my work is very engaging to the audience for many different reasons. For example, i advertise a competition on the front of the magazine which automatically appeals to my audience of late teenagers. There is a bold heading which is very eye catching and the font is appropriate. The image covers the whole of the front page so it stands out and gives the reader an idea immediatley of what genre the magazine is.


Consider some of the creative choices you had to make during the course of your production – how to use cameras, lighting, dialogue, colour etc. How did you make these decisions, and how did these contribute to the final production?

 My images were taken at a live concert and so i did have difficulty in that i couldnt control concepts such as lighting, however i made the best of what i had and used the camera to the best of my ablity, with using different settings on the camera to get the best quality photo. I spent time researching colours as i believe that colour is really important for a magazine as different colours give different feels and creates different moods.
