I feel that through our detailed research and analysis of various existing student magazines we were able to get an accomplished understanding of layout and contents for the cover and contents page; with this research we incorporated these ideas into our magazine. This is evidential through our stylized yet simple mast head and our strap lines which were suitable and relatable to our audience.
Our cover consisted of a mid close up of a student at the college, in which we touched up the image on a computer where we removed a lamppost within the background as well as removing one of her ears and in its place we air brushed in some more hair.
With the use of the computer program “Adobe Photoshop” we were able to make vast alterations to all parts of the image, but you have to find a point at which you are unable to make any more changes as it begins to look too artificial rather than natural. It was because of this reason that we made as few alterations as possible, and in the end I feel we came out with a well worked image.
Overall i feel we achieved the task sucessfully as we created a cover and contents page for a target audience which worked well and would definately appeal towards them.

180 degre rule and match on action.

180 degre rule.

• It's the rule in which there is an imaginary line crossing over the characters within a scene in which the camera isn't allowed to cross, but it can pan around in that 180 degre area, because otherwise the audience becomes disorientated as characters begin to switch between sides of the screen.Match on action

• This is when someone films a person opening a door from one angle and then changes the angle through a cut, but in doing so they need to carry on filming from the exact angle in which the door was opened at in the previous shot, otherwise you get a jump cut and the scene doesn't run as smoothly.

I feel that both the cover and contents page for our magazine are similar to those in which we have studied. The reasons for why i believe this is because it consists of a mid close up image of a student at the college.

Once we transfered the photo onto the computer we began touching up the image. This is when we covered up one of her ears with hair and removed a lampost in the background.
