Preliminary Exercise Leaner Response

  WWW:  Your cover photo is effective with the stare into the distance working as a means to encourage others to seek out their own improvements. The language used on the front cover is encouraging and pushes the same message conveyed by the imagery. Next Steps:  It’s unclear from the image which of your two larger pieces of text is your masthead and which is your headline, please clarify this through repositioning or enlarging the right text. Your cover lines read more like individual pieces of advice; remember, the purpose of your cover lines is to promote other potential stories that could be inside this magazine. Consider your colour choices for the writing. Unfortunately, some of the white writing of the cover lines is in front of the white clouds and this makes it harder to read.

Coursework preliminary exercise

Statement of intent: For the preliminary exercise, I'm planning to make a 2 minute music video about anti-bullying and how a young teenager becomes a better version of himself and stops others from bullying. The beginning of the advert is introduced with the main character heading to school and he deliberately going to put on this sluggish and rude attitude to emphasise his role as a bully. In addition, the background sound will have this upbeat noise to fit the mood of a selfish bully. The middle of the advert will zoom into a shy boy eating his lunch in the cafeteria, ands then cuts to the main character (bully) confronting him with pact shots (close -up) shots), and the bully starts to mess with him and ruining his mood whilst he ate his food. The bully would be seen as accomplished as he just bullied a student from  his school. The scene ends with him getting reminded that he should switch from his old ways. The final seconds contrasts the music tone where it gets happier when ...
