CCR Question 2 Script

-

 I just completed the script for question 2 of my CCR:

  • How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? 

"My magazine engages with the audience of young women through its aesthetic design. I took inspiration from the Tik Tok videos that women posting their daily routine, which tend to include beige and white tones and calming approaches, as I mentioned earlier. I also sought to engage with my audience by including interviews with other young women and teens, like my “What’s in My Bag?” article, which I wrote as if the magazine sent out a survey for teens to fill out with pictures and details about their must-have fitness products. I actually took inspiration from Vogue’s “In the Bag” videos for this article, which are widely popular among my audience. Vogue puts out YouTube videos of celebrities showing viewers the contents of their bag, and I thought it would be cute to relate this to fitness. I also included screenshots of where to find each product with the price, as I have seen in magazines like in this page of a Vogue article:Group 1, Grouped object 

 

 

And then this is part of my article:

I also included links with each image, as I would want to make a digital version of this magazine.

Women’s Health Magazine is also digital and physical, using influencers to promote their content and making profit from promoting products. Since young women are very active on social media, I think that using influencers to advertise the magazine, as well as including ads on sites like Tik Tok and Instagram could be useful in promoting the content. Social media is especially useful in that it knows a lot about its users. The ads will pop up especially for women who show an interest in fitness, therefore advertising very specifically and effectively."

Editor's Note Further Editing

-

I noticed some slight errors in my editor's note and some wording that I could change. I also looked at a reference editor's letter from Women's Health and noticed that there was a lot more depth to the graphics and organization of the page. My edited text: I have to start thinking about pictures to take/include in my magazine. I think that the pictures on the editor's note should be gym/fitness related pictures of me, as this is a fitness magazine. I wanted to add a signature, but this actually proved challenging. I don't have a tablet or stylus, but I do have a touchscreen laptop. I was able to find a pen with a silicone stylus at the end, but it was still hard to write with since my laptop cannot be folded down. I tried using the Canva draw tool, but it kept weirdly lining the signatures I made. I decided to screenshot a blank piece of the page and then screenshotting it and using Microsoft's screenshot markup tool, which was much more effective. I really wan...

Paddington (2014) Case Study

    I was given an assignment on developing a case study. The movie I selected for my case study is Paddington (2014). I have included the information for each bullet point under each example. Paddington himself is a visual effect because he is digitally animated and placed into the film , using motion capture where actors wearing suits dotted with markers. In fact, s ome of the physical interactions Paddington has with other characters are done with hidden assistants behind the camera th at make contact w ith the characters using spoons or tools that Paddington can easily be edited over to make it look li ke h e's on screen.        The opening of the film has a TV -broadcasting introduction with a black-and-white, crackly filter over it to make it look vintage. The fake television broadcast is then shown using the same visual filters. This helps us acknowledge that what we are seeing has taken place in the past and can serve as context for the storyl...

Table of Contents Editing

-

I have made several changes to my table of contents. My original table of contents looked like this: It looked pretty unprofessional, and I had to get to the bottom of how to fix it. In the examples above, the titles are a lot smaller and much more dynamic. The color was also very bland and beige. The titles were also very boring and didn't grab attention. One example I found of a table of contents from an issue of Women's Health put the title of the article in bold with a description underneath, which I thought was a good idea: I also found an issue of Woman's World, which separated the content of the magazine into subcategories, which I think makes the content more digestible and organized. Therefore, I decided to separate my content into subcategories too. I chose the categories Nutrition, Workouts & Fitness, and Lifestyle. Woman's World example: With this in mind, I decided to condense my titles, organize them into my categories, make them more interesting, and ...
