Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

After my preliminary task, I found doing a questionnaire really helped as it assisted me to ask questions which answers would benefit me in making my magazine. Once I had the results I could make my magazine as the people wanted it to, so it would be better as it would be what they liked and wanted. I also realised that by studying products similar to the one in which I wanted to create, I could identify the conventions that are related to a magazine production which, I could use or challenge to make my magazine look better and more realistic. I did more thinking about what sort of photos I was going to use and when I did the photo shoots I thought about different angles such as close up mid shot or a long shot so I had a variety of shots to work with and use from. Using the blog to present my work was a lot easier and better than having to hand in a hard copy and printing everything off
