Production Log - 7th September 2012

Today we started our lesson by talking about the course in general. Secondly we got put into 3 groups and we were given a camera for each group so we could take pictures as our task was to create a school magazine, front cover and contents page only. Furthermore we all processed with our task and took most of the pictures outside due to them looking much better. We all had a lot of ideas for the front cover which included: "Greeting new students", "New 6th form common room", "Eco friendly school", and "best exam results". As soon as we were done with the pictures we went back to class got on the computers and started creating our front cover on Photoshop. Some people who did not study media before did have a bit of trouble getting on as they were not used to working with Photoshop but overall we all did fine however we did not manage to finish the whole task in time. As the task was a preliminary task and we only had to have some initial ideas the magazines we made did not have to be to the best of our ability however for the students in my class this did not mean much as most of us did make great effort and made a great start.
