Post #51 -Magazine Changes

 


This is a side-by-side comparison of the front cover of my promotional magazine. It has not endured any changes since I constructed the original draft. This is because it demonstrates sophistication and meaning excellently. The full team photo accurately depicts teamwork and unity amongst the entire program; the star is appealing and stands out on the rather simple layout. This gold star represents victory. This can be connected to Roland Barthes theory, which states that colors and symbols represent deeper meanings. In this case, the gold star represents victory, which is something the team is very fond of. 


This is page two of my magazine which has endured a pretty noticeable amount of change. The first issue I identified was that this page's background was pure white rather than an off-white like the first page. I fixed this issue by selecting the background of page one, copying the color id number, and pasting it onto the second page. I then noticed that the font was different from page one and appeared unprofessional. Because of this I changed the font to match page one to create professionalism and make my brand look elite rather than unprofessional. I also increased the size of the subheadings and changed their font. I did this to make them more noticeable. This will make the content beneath it more memorable, allowing readers to refer to their memory to remind themselves to watch the final product. I also shifted the tile and photos further up. I did this because I wanted to give myself more room for the text which will be discussed in another blog. This text is written with a very professional font. This was done so that newer audience members could understand my style as a producer. This is important because it will determine whether that individual becomes a fan of my company or not. By establishing a professional tone, readers can understand that I take my product seriously, which implies that my final product will be excellent. 


On the third and final page of my magazine, there are noticeable changes. One of the main things is the addition of text which will be discussed in a future blog. Due to this addition of text, I had to remove some vertical length from the photo. This was necessary so that I could properly fit all of the text I am aiming to include. By moving the photo up, I was able to move the subheadings up as well, providing more space for the content. The font remained the same and matches the second pages' subheadings font in order to create a cohesive and consistent magazine. This is something visually attractive to readers, making my magazine more likely to attract viewers and expand my success margins. Another major change is the different subheading. I decided that the "Adrenaline" subtitle did not construct the meaning or properly market my material. As a result, I replaced this subheading with "Champions Speaking". This subheading develops ethos, which is credibility, making my content trustworthy. This also allows me to reach my target audience since the quotes given are from well-known people amongst the cheer world. To make these quotes stand out, I marked the individuals' name in red. Red was chosen because it is one of the teams' colors which provides more representation to support my film. 

All in all, my magazine has undergone drastic changes and will continue to experience change until the final copy is satisfactory.

Post #64 -Critical Reflection

        The process of constructing this documentary required extensive research, planning, editing, marketing, and further refinement. When researching other products labeled as sports documentaries, I was able to  identify  what conventions would and would not be included in my products which in  return  link s  to audience engagement. Conventions are elements that are commonly used within a specific genre, and audience engagement refers to the interest, involvement, and emotional connection someone has to a piece of media. I also  identified  what social  groups  and  issues  I would be targeting. During the research phase I studied the documentary " Starting  5". When studying the micro elements within the  film,  I recognized that the documentary  failed to  address the emotional aspect of basketball. Instead, the practices and principles of  the sport  were explored. This ...

Post #25- Gantt Chart For Documentary Excerpt

   A Gantt chart is utilized to allow producers and their crews to visualize their schedule and the time in which each phase is taking place. These charts may represent past phases, present, and future. For reference, the Gantt chart attached above is a chart that I have constructed, and it depicts the timeline of my production process. This shows the dates in which I started researching, ended researching, the dates in which I started planning, the date I plan to end planning, the scheduled date to start filming, end filming, and enter post production which leads me to the final upload of my documentary excerpt. By creating this chart, I am able to keep myself on task and follow this timeline so that my audiences build trust in Pridgen Productions, encouraging them to spread positive press and maybe even create fandoms. This can be connected to Henry Jenkins' theory because he believes that audiences are active media consumers who share, interpret, and apply content within fi...

Post #32- Interview Questions

 I have reached the stage of my production process where I have begun to consider what questions my interviewees will be asked in order to inspire their responses in which will develop the meaning I have encoded. To ensure I evoke immense emotion from my interviewees, I have constructed meaningful questions that will develop the deep narrative rather than surface level content. Since I have encoded a deep narrative, I have decided to use this as my unique selling point. This is considered a unique selling point because a common mistake many producers make is not including a deep narrative to their film and instead focusing on the principles of the sport. Therefore, including this detail makes my product appealing to a significant amount of people and creates emotional connections between the audience and documentary.  After taking these factors into consideration, the following questions are being considered to include in my final product.  - What is cheerleading and what...
