Hannah Wood Media: Creating My Article

Creating My Article - Image

The image on the left is the image I decided to use in my final article and there are a number of reasons why I used that one instead of my other option which is the image on the right.

- In the image on the right I don't like how the people's feet are not in line. They're standing different measurements away from the camera causing the shoes to be in a diagonal line rather than a straight line as they're standing alongside each other. I think that this makes the photo appear less professional.
- I think the expressions in the photo that I used are more intriguing and exciting than in the image on the left. The images used in my cover and contents page have similar, natural smile, facial expressions therefore I wanted this image in my article to be slightly different and not replicate the others.
- The image I chose not to use is similar to the one used in my contents page and I did not want to use similar images when I had so many other different image options to choose from.
- I think the image on the left which I used engages the audience much more. Due to the fact the image is featuring on my article, I wanted the audience to feel a certain connection with the band as they're reading and I think this more close up image which those expressions does this more than the simpler, more common image on the right.

Target Grade: A

To achieve my target my research, planning and evaluation must be detailed, effectively communicated and presented digitally, using a wide variety of formats. I need detailed research into similar products and target audience and to show the process of planning by including excellent work on shotlists, drafts, storyboards, scripts, locations and props. I need to show full evidence of the research and planning informing the construction process.

My evaluation must reflect my excellent understanding of forms and conventions, an understanding of the use of new media throughout the stages of production, the way my ancillary and primary tasks combine effectively. There will be anexcellent understanding of the significance of audience feedback.

My production work, across the formats, will demonstrates excellent creativity and imagination as I seek to make them as convincing as possible and it will also reflect my mastery in technical skills such as controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, variety of shot sizes, close attention to mise-en-scène, appropriate transitions and use of sound.
