Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Even though my preliminary task wasn't very detailed, it still helped me a lot with my actual music magazine. The preliminary helped me improve ideas for the real thing. When i created the contents page of a college magazine for the preliminary, i had to research other magazines, and i noticed things on magazines that i would never usually notice.

I now understand the codes and conventions of magazines a lot better, and know how to make a magazine look a lot more professional. There are still some things in Photoshop that i do not quite understand how to work, but i know more than i did in the beginning. Before i made the magazine, i only had some experience with Photoshop because i do A level photography. But now, after weeks of using it, i can edit pictures easier.

One thing that i did already know before this task, was how to set up shots better and how to consider locations of the shoots. The reason i already knew a lot about this is because like i said previously i took A level photography. I also did GCSE media studies so learnt a lot about camera shots and angles then.
