Introduction to Unit G324: Advanced Portfolio - Video Task Shot List

2.
1. I open with an establishing shot to give the audience an idea of the setting for the story.
2. The medium shot of person A is used primarily to draw attention to them, indicating that the story will directly involve them.
3. An insert shot of the wallet dropping to the floor is used to draw finer detail to this object, showing that this is of high importance to the story.
4. The eyeline match sequence is used to link person B with the item and with the story.
5. The panning medium shot of person B is used to show the action of person B picking up the wallet, which is part of the storyline.
6. Extreme close up on the wallet and the hand of person B is used to draw attention back to the wallet, showing the act of picking it up and to stop the story from seeming like one long held shot.
7. The over the shoulder shot of person A is used, as it brings both characters in the story together, and shows movement of both characters at once.
8. Medium shot of the return of the wallet as it is part of the storyline that must be shown to the audience.
9. Medium shot of person A thanking person B for the return of the wallet, used to tell more of the storyline.

Article: My double page spread article will be an interview conducted between myself and Chris Turner about his upcoming tour and album. This will be followed by some general banter and some written in questions and answers. I chose to do this as it is common to be found in many teenage/young adult aimed magazines.

My contents page has a layout almost identical to that of Kerrang! Magazine. I did this because Kerrang!’s layout is very effective and simple.

Project Evaluation

This is my magazine project evaluation. It was done in microsoft word and then saved as pictures in microsoft publisher so the images would be uploaded correctly.
