(66) Truth is, the game was rigged from the start...Creative Critical Reflection #4


--Dawn of the final day--
Welcome to my final EPIC blog guys! Wooo-wooo, no need to be sad. Just as Spring comes after Winter, you may take comfort in knowing the end of something is the beginning of another. Anyways today I'll be answering the final question for my creative critical reflection, so let's begin!

How did you integrate technologies - software, hardware and online - in this project?

I used technology almost completely to make this project possible, apart from layouts I designed in person. I used just about every tool in my arsenal to get this project done, from various software technologies to basic hardware. I wouldn't have been able to complete this project without the use of technology that allowed me to communicate my ideas, create my ideas, share them, and learn the crucial information necessary to complete this project.

I made constant use of software as this project was heavily involved in design. I used tools like Canva to put together designs and to handle some slight edits like color changes and filters, that's how I put together my magazine components and blog covers. I've also used a site called photoscissors.com that helped me in removing image backgrounds for design purposes. 

As for hardware, I constantly used my phone and computer. My phone was used to take all the pictures used in my magazine, that would then be sent to my computer. Now my computer was used to access the software necessary for all my photo editing, magazine design, and blog creation. As such this magazine production wouldn't be possible without my computer, or at least it wouldn't have been easy.

I've also used a plethora of online programs for this project. Canva was used for practically all my magazine and blog cover designs. Blogger was used to compose and host my blogs so that my magazine and everything else I've done can be accessible for everyone. I've also made use of Prezi and Animaker to produce engaging presentations for answering these questions.

(9) Let's talk...Mise-en-scene

Hey today we're gonna learn about...MISE-EN-SCENE!! But what is Mise-en-scene? Simply put Mise-en-scene is literally "placing on stage" in French; all the elements that appear on camera and their arrangement. So everything from the makeup that goes into a scene to how the scene is setup. Alrighty so let me get into each of the features for you to give you a better understanding of everything that Mise-en-scene encompasses. Production design: Production designers are the people responsible for the visual concepts of a film, such as television or theater production. They work closely with the director and producer while they design a style for the elements incorporated in a film. Location: The location of a film sets the mood and supports the action. For example, in a abandoned McDonalds the location would give you suspicion and a horror mood. Studio: A film studio is either a entertainment company or a motion picture company. These companies have their own privately studio...

(58) That's crazy bro- FINAL Feature Story

  This is it, welcome back guys, today I have for you my revised feature story, the final version! My teacher reviewed my feature story draft and suggested some changes, so I'll show you that first-    My teacher suggested I delete the part were I say this is a feature story, because it should be obvious and in hindsight it is, so I'm grateful she pointed that out, it makes it more professional! I didn't notice it before, but I was also repeating some information, she pointed it out and I corrected it promptly! Finally she suggested I delete some of these sentence starters I use at the start of each of my paragraphs, and I think it's a great idea as it helps with the continuity of the entire feature story instead of making it feel like multiple small segmented parts, overall I'm very grateful for her advice as I believe it has drastically improved my feature story from were it was as a draft! Now enough suspense, here is the finalized version of my feature story! -F...
