Introduction To My A2 Media Work

During my 'Stepping Up' weeks in college I have the opportunity to start my A2 Media Work. In these weeks I have the chance to choose a brief and come up with several plans and ideas which in the long run will play a huge part in the making of my final product. First of all I had to choose a brief. We had the choice of 3, the 3 choices being;

• A Short Film- with two of the following; a poster for the film, a radio trailer and a film magazine review.
• Promotion package for a film (Trailer) - with two of the following; a website homepage, magazine front cover featuring the film and a poster.
• First 4 pages of a Regional Magazine- with two of the following; a radio advertisement, 2 hyperlinked pages from a website and a billboard advertisement

Based on my skill set I decided to choose the magazine brief as I feel like this will be more suited to me. As in my AS Media coursework we made a music magazine, I feel confident that I can take what I learnt from that and use it to make a better magazine and one where I'm allowed to choose the topic of. When choosing my topic I thought it was best too choose a subject that I'm interested in, that being fashion. However as it has to be a regional magazine I'm planning on looking at ways the fashion varies in the North East.

An example of the kind of magazine I want mine to be similar to;

Obviously this magazine isn't regional, its more international, however I liked the model and the way the front cover is simplistic and very similar to how i want mine to look.
