Project Selection - My Decision

I have chosen to do the magazine project because working by myself and being able to have complete control of how I want it to look will make me more confident in the magazine. Also with my certificates in word will make it easier for me because i understand the layout and all of the tools to make my magazine look its best. The magazine was what i picked automatically because they are more expressive in my opinion. You have the words that explains and talks about a subject but then you also have the visuals so if the reading isn't clear enough the images give you a more clear view while also helping you visualize. Unlike the film with more of the motions and camera angle and different shots and maybe a few words here and there, you may not get the message clear and people may be confused with nothing helping them understand more. My project is going to be very colorful and just an upbeat feeling when you see the cover. It will go under travel and will be based on Florida beaches and activities to do. 

Project Selection - Film

Some aspects of film that would interest me would most definitely be Ferris Bueller. Learning about the different techniques they used to pull off certain scenes was fascinating. Also when they show the process of casting the roles and voicing the opinions on the different people would be challenging for me  because I can never make decisions nor can I be 100% honest with people. The newsroom as well was a great visual by showing how they prepared before they went on the air. They were rushing and trying to figure out what would be best to put on the air and it was very intense. The film project would be good because I enjoy putting clips together its like a puzzle to me and the edits and special affects is fun. What would be challenging for me would be managing the time and being sure everything was put together and filmed when its was suppose to. As well as trying to figure out the design and meaning behind the film. Planning is going to be the hardest part for me no matter what.

Project Selection - Magazine

The Newsroom inspired me to do the Magazine because it shows how everyone cares and reacts to what is written. For example the false statements about Will that were posted in the magazine and everyone knew. As well as when we analyzed the magazines, seeing the ways different subjects interested certain people based on the photos and content they included. With the Magazine I will be able to do more and personalize it and be sure it includes all I need which is more of what I wanted. Also I feel more comfortable editing photos and laying them out and fonts and word designs all seem very much easier then making a film. Some things the may be challenging would be planning it all out because I just do what come to mind and change it a lot so making a plan and sticking to it may be challenging. As well as finding a topic there are so many things that interest me that I would want to see posted in a magazine but hard to pick one.
