Production 3- Conduct Interviews for Feature Articles.

Today during my lunch period, I went ahead and got my interviews done for the feature article. I interviewed Terrell Pack; former football and basketball player, class of 2021. I also interviewed Shane Ahles, he is a teacher at the school, assistant athletic director, and a JV baseball coach. I wanted to understand what it was like playing sports throughout this tough time. I asked Terrell Pack what the hardest part was and he said it was practicing outside with mask on for football. I then wanted to see what it was like from an outsider’s perspective; Shane is very involved with the school so it was nice to see what he had to say. For Shane the hard part was people not keeping their mask on at sporting events; he was only doing his job by telling them to put it on as well as he has to look out for everyone’s safety.

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 ...
