Drafting and planning

Similarly to the AS Media Studies course, for A2 I am also going to focus on still images, but also, sound.

I have decided to create a regional magazine, meaning I will compose the first four pages, including a radio advertisement for the magazine and a billboard advertisement for the magazine. 

Fortunately, I will be able to recycle my knowledge from AS Media Studies to produce the magazine, by continuing to use software such as PagePlus, Paint.Net and Microsoft Publisher. I understand the layout of magazines: through the masthead, main image, date line, selling line, bar code, cover lines, anchorage text and pugs/puffs; this will help me to produce the magazine successfully. I also have knowledge of aspects within mise-en-scene and this will give me an advantage when beginning my photography through the elements of blocking, casting, lighting, props, facial expression and colour. This is demonstrated through my final product last year found on:

However, I do not yet have a wide knowledge about how to compose a radio advertisement and this will be something I can learn on my journey alongside the production of my magazine. This will help me develop further skills required for A2 Media Studies. I am very excited to learn how to advertise on the radio, I can begin to listen to successful radio advertisements on:

After listening to specific radio adverts, I can then distinctively pick out the key areas to focus on in my own advertisement at:
