Changes to my AS Music Magazine
This year, I was given the task of improving my AS Music Magazine coursework. After speaking to Mrs Hopkinson about various features of my magazine which needed improvement I decided that it was best to almost completely change the layout of it.
Using a style model which I chose, I completely changed the layout of my front cover using conventions of an alternative music magazine, with simple headings and a large main image, I also changed many of the other headlines on the page.
My contents page needed much improvement in my eyes as it did not hold many conventions of a typcial music magazine, the layout was sparce and didn't look right at all therefore I again completely changed the layout and contents of the page so it looked a lot more professional and well put together such as adding a lot more 'contents' to it and adding larger and smaller stories which the reader could potentially read if the magazine was published.
My biggest task was my main article pages which needed the most improvement. I changed the whole layout of the pages and took new images so it looked even more professional, I kept the contents of the pages the same as it was before as I believe this suited the type of magazine I was creating in the first place which is alternative music thereofore I did not alter the text much, only grammatically improved it.
The style model for my front cover helped me a lot to make my magazine look more professional and hold more conventions of a typical music magazine. The style model I used was Q magazine which is shown here:

Reflection on my Blog so far...
In today's lesson, we looked at each others blogs and gave each other positive and negative feedback. I recieved comments about many aspects of my blog posts.
The positive comments that I recieved stated that I have good use of images whether it is images of inspirations and/or style models or images of props or locations which will be used for filming the project and that I have evidence of planning throughout my project so far.
Some of the nagative feedback I recieved involved going into detail on my blog postsand providing evidence for posts such as images or videos to back up ideas about props or certain camera angles.
To improve upon all of the nagative comments I shall do the following;

To improve upon all of the nagative comments I shall do the following;
- Go into much more detail in blog posts such as stating specific aspects of project/filming e.g specific locations, props, speech, diegetic/non-diegetic music or sound effects.
- Always produce evidence of points stated in blog posts such as if a specific location or costume etc. is stated, an image or video will be shown of it if available.

Brief and Narrative
Which brief are you pursuing?
A promotion package for a new film, to include a trailer, together with a teaser poster and a film magazine cover.
Group project List roles and responsibilities if you are working in a group?
Ryan Willis – Actor/Editor Reece Beveridge – Cameraman Sarah Watson – Actress/Director
Write a brief summary of your concept for the main task (Narrative)
Jamie is reflecting on her childhood to her therapist. She talks about the times her grandfather would tell her stories about how he was a medic in the war, and the story of how he was attending to a man who was bleeding to death, but had to leave him and deal with a group of men dying on the field – so the man bled to death. Before she was institutionalised, she researched and discovered that the man’s body was never found. These are what led to the night terrors that made her hallucinate and drove her insane. Now she still has to be tied to the bed because these dreams of the man coming back for her are causing her to have violent fits in her sleep. She eventually begins to believe that the man is coming back for her because she is finding it difficult to differentiate between her dreams and reality. List any ideas for locations. (Mise en scene) Woods, car, bedroom, empty street List any ideas for costume and props (Mise en scene) White mask with zip for a mouth Gas mask Sounds Non diegetic to build up tension; tracks selected from a number of different horror films that could link well to our trailer. This is yet to be researched. Silence to keep the audience in anticipation. Drum beats during the build-up of the title sequence.
Main Characters
The Victim
Taking influence from a number of female victims in well known horror films such as A Nightmare On Elm Street, Halloween and The Ring.
