I feel that when looking back at my preliminary task I have learnt so much from the progression of it to my final product. I have managed to gain key skills in Softwares and in using technologies, and this has been helpful for me when making my production. When comparing the front cover I had produced for a school magazine in my preliminary task with the one that I had recently produced for my final task, I can clearly identify my progression in layout and integrating text and images.
As seen my school magazine of which I had produced in my preliminary task named 'Students 2 Students' was aimed at a very different audience to the audience I was targeting for my 'Indie' magazine. However, from this I learnt how to integrate my masthead with my image as well as the texts used on my front cover. I can clearly see that my final product looks much more professional than my magazine cover for my preliminary task. Through taking my images I had learnt to think about Mise-en-scene wisely and how it may effect my target audience and the message I was going for. In this I recognise that the Mise-en-scene used in my school magazine from my preliminary task shows a school environment in which would clearly indicate the genre of my magazine to my audience. Whereas, the Mise-en-scene shown in my final production shows a clear white background of which connotes the simplicity and inexpedience of my genre making it clear for my audience to relate.
The contents page of my preliminary task and the one produced for my final product shows a clear indication of my progression also, yet I do not believe that my progression is as clear than it is when comparing the front covers I had produced. From this I used some of the forms and conventions used for my preliminary into my final production, I also managed to adopt the skills I had learnt in Softwares such as, Photoshop and Fireworks.
Ultimately, I am able to recognise from my preliminary task what I have learnt in progression to my final production.
