When I was first working on my cover page, I was using Photopea and wasn't the best at photoshopping images and text onto each other and I wasn't sure which direction I wanted to go with my cover. My color scheme didn't look that pleasing and the font didn't seem to relate to the theming of my magazine, but after I did more research, my cover page looked better.
Question: Discuss the ways in which the candidates’(this is you) own experiences of media consumption (how you use, access, and produce) illustrate wider patterns and trends in audience behavior.
When it comes to film, an audience is imperative to the success of the film. Personally, before I watch a film, I go to IMDb (International Movie Database) and check the critic’s reviews for that certain film, just to get an idea if I would like it or not. And, because IMDb is available to the entire public, it would be helpful for the film to have good ratings, so more people would want to watch it. Also, an efficient part of IMDb is how they tell you how you can access the film or TV show, which would allow more people to watch it if they know where they can find it. I have found it so much easier to watch good films and shows this way and I believe that if more people knew about it, more movies would have a bigger audience. Question: What significance does the continuing development of digital media technology have for media institutions and audiences?
As technology advances, the easier it will be to access digital media, like movies and video games. Other forms of digital media, for example, social media apps, like Snapchat and Instagram can help share information on a global scale as to how to easily access movies and video games, and other forms of digital media. Nowadays, most of the population that have access to a mobile device will also have access to social media. This, in turn, makes it essential that media institutions take advantage of the number of people on these apps. For example, Disney Plus has its own Instagram account, as well as 10 to 15 other accounts for Disney Plus in other countries. This is good for marketing because millions of people see their accounts every day and because of the marketing for their new Marvel show “WandaVision” and the Star Wars show “The Mandalorian”, as of November 2020, they have an estimated 30-million and growing U.S. subscribers. This number, as well as other streaming services numbers, will continue to grow as long as digital media technology continues to grow. Question: How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?
Creating my magazine spread was the easiest to make online with Canva, as well as the cover. When I was trying out different programs, like InDesign and Photopea, I was able to find out exactly how I wanted to format my spread and the cover. Also, when coming up with content, I had to research a lot about new attractions coming soon, as well as projects that are being talked about, so Disney Blogs and Youtube videos on the D23 convention, a convention where Disney releases new projects, was useful and included in my project. Overall, most of my project is made on my computer and I have found so many resources, like Canva and InDesign to integrate into my project. |
