Final Submission

Dear Mr Henton, 

My name is Finlay Hodgson. Welcome to my A Level Media Studies blog. This is a record of the work I have undertaken for the Making Media Non-examination Assessment (NEA) within the OCR H409 GCE A Level course in Media Studies. 

I worked independently on Brief 3: Magazine and Online to produce the front covers and contents pages for the first two editions of a style magazine called Threaded together with the magazine's accompanying website.

Further down in my blog you will find evidence of my research and planning for this task.

I have inserted JPEGs of my magazine's first edition cover and contents page below.

I have inserted JPEGs of my magazine's second edition and contents page below:

The link to my website, which was created using WIX, can be found at the link below. 

The magazine consists of a homepage and a single linked page. The linked page can be accessed by following the link below:

Production Log Part 2 - Photography

 Production Log Part 2 – Photography

Within my photography, I have ensured to include both my male and female models, in two separate environments, and using separate clothing, accessories and props, in order to add to the immersive feel of my magazines.

As previously stated, my January issue will focus on the themes of winter and coldness, and so I have chosen an outdoor setting, in order to, along with certain editing tools, help to emphasise the natural feel of winter, along with using middle/upper-class, winter-oriented outfits and accessories, in order to capture the magazine’s focus most appropriately.

Furthermore, my February issue will focus on the theme of love and romance, due to the cultural celebration of Valentine’s Day, celebrated within the month of February. Therefore, I have selected a more intimate indoor setting, a café, as well as using lighter colours of grey and red for my models.

Although I have narrowed down to a smaller number, the photos I will want to use, here are the majority of those which were taken, and before any editing tools were used.

Models

Lola ____________ – 17 – She/Her
