My questionnaire

I

I have now sent out this questionnaire to year 9's, so they can fill it in to help my design of my school magazine.

Location Picture's for School Magazine

The Five Pictures I Think Would Work Best

Front Of The School

I think this picture would be a good idea for the front cover of my version of the school magazine because it shows the architectural of the school showing its history and age. It also shows the blue front doors and the blue sign with the Beaverwood logo on it, the blue is also the colour of the school uniform. You could have a student either standing in front of the door holding a text book or a form of school work, or the student could be in between the two plants in front of the stairs.

Sixth Form Building Entrance

This picture would also be good for a front cover for my version of a school magazine, if I was doing a school magazine on Sixth Former's. This would work because it shows the entrance to the building, with the Beaverwood logo symbol on the blue sign. If i used this location I would place the Sixth Former student either on the stairs or in front of the stairs.

Quad 1st Floor

This picture would be good for either a Sixth Former or normal student magazine. This picture would be good because it shows the old school building in the background, it also shows the tree in the middle of the quad. The tree represents the age of the school, because it is a large tree it shows that its been there for years. If i used this as a front cover images i would place the student sat underneath the tree reading or doing work.

The Quad, Balcony View

This picture was taken on the balcony that is connected to the staff room, it gives a great view of the quad. This picture shows off the shape and design of the main building. It also shows the tree in the background, which gives a nice relaxing effect to the picture. If i was to use this location i would place the student on the balcony in front of the camera and this scene, so i could still get a mid-range shot of that student.

The Quad Arches

I'd like this picture for the front cover because it shows the history of the main building, with its old architectural detail's and it also shows a part of the tree. This picture captures the schools age, and it's learning area at the same time. If I was to use this image i would either place the student underneath the arches doing work, or in front of the camera to capture the mid-shot image of that student.

What I learnt Today, 11th September

Today I learnt how to consider the theme and location of the school magazine I will be producing. I learnt that if I wanted to do a theme for my school magazine i could consider Halloween, Christmas, New Years Eve, etc. If I chose to do one of those themes I would colour coordinate my theme into my magazine, for example if I did Halloween I would use orange and black as the main colours.
For the front cover image it will need to include a student (sixth former or normal), a mid-range shot of that student. It will also need to show the school, either the front of the sixth form block, if I was doing the magazine about Post 16, or in front of the school, the hallway, the quad, etc. The student she be dressed in the correct uniform representing the school or sixth form, and should also look like their interacting with a text book, or something intellectual. For the front cover we walked around the school and checked for different locations that would be good for the front cover, which represents the school well.

Analyzing a School Front Cover

Preliminary Task

In this lesson we learnt about the preliminary task that will be doing till Feburary Half Term. The first task we will be doing is making a school magazine front cover with a photgraph of a student in uniform. Im excited to do this task because it will develop my skills in magazine making in preperation for the music magazine.
The task we will be doing after the school magazine front cover, is creating a music magazine front cover and a double page spread. I'm excited to do this task because I can choose the genre of music I'm writing about, and also it will be interesting creating a music magazine to good stanards.
