What I Have Learnt

This first term of media studies I have learnt various techniques and conventions in order to make a magazine to the highest of standards to be to a standard of  profession. Such as;

• Holding shift in fireworks to resize an image, stopping it from becoming the right proportion (squished together or fattened)
• Media text: any media production, could anything from a movie trailer to a magazine that features a specific media product.
• Media form: the type do media used to communicate, such as movies - Sherlock Holmes, Salt, Hollyoaks 
• Conventions: elements to make up something greater, ingredients if you wish to make up a cake. 
• Genre: the type of category to which a media text belongs to; horror, comedy, drama, thriller, sci-fi 
• Denotation: a literal meaning of a word, describing what you see in detail; a stick, brown stick, on gravelled surface, single leaf, green leaf.
• Connotation: association that connects words or meanings with emotional suggestions; loneliness, dirty, broken, fallen.

All this has helped me further my production of the magazine as without learning these key, essential things it wouldn't have been to the professional standard I want t to be at. Without learning how to use fireworks my pages would not have consistency, everything would have been askew and simple like a child had done it on MS paint. With knowing about connotations and Denotations I wouldn't have been able to see what the reader would see looking at my magazine, pictures wouldn't be relevant or hold any importance to being there.
