Question 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing you media product?

During my time with Photoshop I have discovered a variety of tools and methods which assisted in the construction of my magazine, such as colour range, formatting the font to my design and the use of guides to create a layout. Photoshop was key in constructing my magazine, I am pleased with the editing of my magazine and I have learned new techniques which will assist me in the future.

I have learned editing is key to a well

functioning magazine even the small

detail brings out the best in a magazine.

The images used on the front cover

plays a dynamic role in attracting the

target audience the style of fonts used

also play a role creating a busy

constructive layout.

The type of camera of which I used was a DSLR

D3000 I have expanded my knowledge of the

manual settings this includes changing the shutter

speed to capture the range of movement while the

adjusting the aperture to control the focus of the

image how much or little detail required in the

photo. The use of this type of camera

was most important in my

photoshoot as the image quality is

most important in the construction

of my magazine. My original

knowledge of the functions of this

camera has grown I was shown

how to change the settings

separately such as the level of the

shutter speed while increasing the

aperture.

During the process of my photoshoot I

used a white screen, flash head and

reflective umbrellas these tools were

most effective in my photoshoot as I

was able to control and adjust the

lighting to create and enhance

shadow in my images. I have learned

how to set up a photoshoot this

includes the white/ black backdrop

and the flash head.

By enhancing lighting my photos

capture more detail and I have

discovered the placing of the flash

heads can alter the layout captured.
