Media Studies P.5

(Automobile Magazine) The layout on the cover page uses particularly large text to get a certain point or feeling across.  The colors used throughout the cover page are usually colors of the sky and black to represent the road. The articles includes reviews of cars, advertisements for tires, Armor-all ™, and people's opinions on certain cars. The car reviews go really into depth about all aspects of the car including the looks, performance, and their overall rating on new cars released to the market. Everything in the magazine more or less relates to each other in terms of what is stated and what advertisements are placed inside. The article is well known and has been around for many years and is acknowledged by millions of people worldwide. The pictures are taken from really good angles as well as text font that bonds well with it. Circulation Number:278,238

After examining both the Film and the Magazine, I had made the final decision to choose the magazine due to my experiences working with photographs and writing. Using tools like Photoshop will allow for me to maximize my abilities into this project. The Magazine will be about automobiles and all aspects of specific ones. We will specify and give a solid review on a car from our point of view. It will be the most informational compared to a film and would take less time to develop. Our group will be doing the magazine all on cars. We hope the project will come out as expected.

The aspects of film production that would interest me would the video editing and shooting parts in the making of the film. Examples provided in movies like Ferris Bueller  and All The Presidents Men  shows how the movie set is put together and all the troubles and errors that come along the way. Films require a cast, cameras, accessories to move the cameras, and tons of hours of work to be placed in the creation of a film. A ton more hours have to be set for the assembly and editing of a film to make it look as needed to be. Movies are great ways to express new things and tell stories. With a film, we can create a sense of mood or tone of any kind and have the audience really experience it themselves compared to a magazine. They are both pretty similar and different yet they both and set a similar point across. Making a film would be an interesting choice to make in the selection for the project.

With my prior experience with photographs and Photoshop, i believe making a magazine would be the best choice. The magazine offer an opportunity to express a photographic touch to a magazine. I don't have experience working with Video Editing software, and filming the movies would be much more difficult. Movies require much more time and you must get a cast together as well as a expensive attachments for cameras. In class with learning of All the President's men and The Newsroom reflected all different aspects of journalism. They explained how with all different ways how news can spread from the most minor of things and they can take down careers. This project might be difficult for me due to not being exquisite writer with use of vocabulary. I would seriously have to work on my writing for the article so it would come out to the expected standards. The Magazine would be a really good choice for this project.
