Prelim exercise.

 This is my Prelim task, I specifically chose each individual aspect to the cover. I thought very hard about the composition of my shot, I purposely took the photograph at this angle to emphasise the main purpose of my magazine: national dance week and to engage the target audience. The photo was taken in the dance studio and I purposely included other students in the background to emphasise the fact anyone could join in, regardless to who the person is. Also it implies that its fun and a group activity which may attract people to get involved. I composed the page so that the eye is drawn to the centre of the page and the text runs down the left hand third of the page.

I carefully colour coded the whole page in different blues. I wanted to use the blues in the fonts to match well with her top and the kings schools uniform colour is blue. I chose a large masthead so that the eye is drawn to the magazine. I also added an online poll to see if my target audience who are students are attracted to the front cover of my magazine.

This is a photo that i've taken, for a photography competition in which my media class were asked to take part in. :)

All about me and Media

Hi, I'm a student at The Kings School sixth form. I am studying English Literature, Media Studies and Religion philosophy and ethics. I decided to take media Studies as at GCSE level I really enjoyed Art, and i particularly enjoyed the photography side to my art work, and I decided to study Media Studies as I knew photography would be a large part of Media Studies, but I wanted to have more substance behind my AS and I knew Media Studies was not just about pictures and taking pictures as Media involves text as well as just images.   I also think that the subjects I decided to study complement each of the other ones very nicely. One of my favourite bands are 'The xx'.



 My favourite TV programme is Shameless

, and my favourite film is 'Donnie Darko'.


 I read magazines like Cosmopolitan and Heat. I really like social networking, I have a Twitter account   https://twitter.com/rowanallenn and a Facebook account I regularly update.
