Project Selection- My Decision

After contemplating which project would be best for me, I have decided to do the magazine project. My idea is to make a magazine on healthy eating. I would create my own recipes or find some on the internet and make them myself. I would also have my mom  help me so I can take pictures of her making the recipes. I believe this would suit me the best because of my skills. I am hardworking and creative and have a passion for eating healthy. I enjoy taking pictures and can have a good eye when it comes to taking pictures. My creativity will help me when creating this magazine as well. I have a great work ethic so I know I would be able to create this content to the best of my ability. I would be working by myself on the project, but my mom will be the only other person actually participating in it. I believe it is easier to work alone rather than in a group because I don't have to count on anyone and I can have  a set schedule when I want everything to be done.

Project Selection- Film

I find film very fascinating and fun to watch. I've started to notice all the editing and filming techniques in movies. Based off the movies I have seen in class, I think it would be a fun project. All the films were well made, I especially loved the Ferris Bueller film. John Hughes was a very creative and hardworking person and his film was unique because Ferris was talking to the audience, but he made it work. He has inspired me to create a film myself. The skills I possess are my creativity and directing skills. I believe that I would be able to successfully direct the beginning of a film. I'm a hard worker and having good planning skills, so I would my dedication into making this film.  A challenge would be the editing process, but I just need to learn more about editing techniques. Also, a film can be very time consuming. I would have to plan it into my schedule which might be a little difficult. Another challenge is that I would need to find actors and right now I don...

Project Selection- Magazine

There are several aspects of print jounalism that interest me, one that really stood out is the high AD recall. There are ADs everywhere in magazines, which I always found interesting. Not only does the magazine staisfy the customer, but it helps other businesses as well. Also, newspapers have been one of the best forms of entertainment in the media business, cosumption of the media has always been strong. The skills that I possess would be taking pictures and my creativity. I've always had a good eye for photos. After learning about all the angles and camera shots, I believe this has provided me with a better set of skills. A challenge for me would be editing a magazine because I'm not exactly sure about the format of the magazine yet; however, I know I would devote my time to make the magazine the best I can possibly make it. Overall, a lot of creativity and planning goes into making a magazine. I believe that I have a good work ethic and good planning skills to accomplish th...
