Decision Day

 



In the world we live in there are many different kinds of apps to use for both a movie or magazine project. After watching videos and reading articles on InDesign and premier pro, I have many mixed emotions about these programs.

The role of InDesign is a publishing software application for creating magazines, flyers, newspapers, and books. It is mostly used by graphic designers, artist, publishers, and marketing professionals. Projects made in this program can be shared both digital or print formats. If I were to create a magazine with my group or by myself InDesign would hands down be the best option for this project. It would make a big difference using this program than any other program because it already comes with formats and it is made for making things like a magazine. If I were to use another program I could risk missing out on important details that InDesign may have. In magazines the most important page is the feature article, the storytelling, attention grabber. When designing a feature article for a magazine “The Four Cs of critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity go hand in hand with storytelling” (Cherry, 2017). When you compare a magazine to a movie we all rather watch a movie as it is more interesting than reading a magazine; however, it takes us to create more interesting feature articles to grab others attention.

Premiere Pro is used for all common video editing task necessary for producing broadcast-quality, high definition video. It can be used to import videos, audio, ad graphics; which is also used to create new, edited versions of video which can be exported to the medium and format necessary for distribution. If I were to create a movie for my project premiere pro would be the program to use. This would allow me to shoot different clips at different times and then allow me to edit them, putting the movie all together; adding effects, music, and even text effects. There are many more apps in the world that we can use to create a movie. I think if there were an easier app out there it would allow for more of us to choose a movie however Premiere Pro is very confusing to us making us give up on that idea.

In conclusion, after I have learned more about the programs available to me it has opened my eyes as to which way to go for my project at the end of the year. I believe that it would be easier to do a magazine as my project as I found it a little bit easier than a movie. I think I can understand more about InDesign easier than I would with Premiere Pro.

Production 2- Schedule Photo Shoots

        After planning out where I am taking the photos for my magazine cover as well as who I am using for the photos; I have begun to reach out and find a day that allows everyone to be there for the cover photograph. I have picked days that I know other sports are having practices that will allow me to come in and capture pictures to use throughout my feature article. Next week I will be going to baseball workouts, the soccer game, and the basketball game. As this is not every sport; it is just enough to show the effect of the pandemic on these sports and how they participate in the sporting activity while still being cautious of the safety of others. On January 21 st I will be meeting one person from each sport, with their uniforms and mask on as well as the assistant principals at the front of the steps of school to capture my photo for my cover page.

Post Production 1- Content Page

 After comparing Alexia’s magazine to my magazine there were still a few things I had to change to have the same similar features as hers. Our content pages were completely opposite so I decided to change mine and go with her layout. I went out to one of the baseball games to capture a photograph for my content page. I also had to correct my font size and style. I used the editing features in my camera roll on my iPhone to edit the lighting on the photograph.  One thing we both had to correct was adding page numbers to each page of our magazine. After I made these modifications to my magazine; I felt very confident in my final work.

Peer Review

          This week we spent time having everyone present their projects so everyone could give feedback; whether it was something they liked in the project or something that needed to be corrected. After Lexi and I presented our two magazines we began to receive feedback from the class. Everyone really liked how the colors, font, and theme flowed together really well. One said how they liked how we each took a different take on the magazines; different feature articles, different problems in the magazine that still all related to our overall story of sports. There are many things we need to fix in both of our magazines; for example, one made a comment towards my magazine asking if it was a cheer magazine as I didn’t realize how many cheer photos I used when I could replace them with the sports I didn’t get to add in. Ms. Gartland pointed out that we needed to be more consistent; we didn’t know how exact our magazines needed to be; with the font size, font ...
