(64) It's a long story...Creative Critical Reflection #2

 


--Dawn of the first day--
Hey guys welcome back to another blog, today we are going to be answering another question for my creative critical reflection.

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

My magazine product targets men of course as it's a men's fashion magazine and it's made for men of all ages and backgrounds. I've made the magazine eye catching with flashy colors and intriguing cover lines. I've done this because it appeals to viewers easier and makes it easier to retain their attention while conveying my points across.

The color scheme is mostly red and blue and I chose this specifically since red is a more energetic color and it calls for more attention and blue makes a good contrast to that which helps add emphasis in that design context. Since this is a magazine for all ages I did make use of some informalities and jokes such as calling the magazine the "Drip Edition" and adding coverlines like "I would kill to look this good". This helps to engage with the audience in a more light-hearted approach.

The magazine encourages the audience to get into men's fashion and just interact with it regardless of their age or situation and this idea is conveyed from the use of imagery. And it does this in a fun way that shows how interesting men's fashion can be and that it's not boring.

This product could be distributed as a real media text through the use of physical copies as readers would eagerly pick up my eye catching magazine and I could also distribute online which would also work well as people would want to read my magazine for informative yet entertaining information on men's fashion. Physically we would distribute it through retailers, barbershops, gyms, malls, book stores, grocery stores, and pawn shops. Virtually we would distribute it through amazon, audiobooks, and a dedicated website for our publishing.

I hope you enjoyed our second model's photoshoot. Until next time, thanks for reading!

(18) Editing, numero dos

  Oh you're still here? Huh...hmm oh yeah, almost forgot... realmente tengo que trabajar otra vez... I mean WELCOME BACK GUYS!!! LETS GET STARTED ON ANOTHER BLOG, OH YEAH!!  Alright enough with that, lets get down to business, today I'm going to be covering the second half of the content I promised you on editing, so lets list these terms firstly. These terms are jump cut, crosscutting, parallel editing, cutaway, and insert, not as many as before, but still just as important, lets begin... Jump Cut: Jump cut is when two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly if at all. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time. It is a manipulation of temporal space using the duration of a single shot and fracturing the duration to move the audience ahead. This kind of cut abruptly communicates the passing of time.​ For example in the image above you see the kid looking forward, but then immediately in the next shot he ...
