Planning - Masthead font experimentation

Here I am experimenting the different fonts I could use for my front cover masthead. I used the colour of blue I anticipate to use for the final masthead, which helped me decide whether certain fonts would suit the colour. I was instantly driven towards the second font down on the left side. A simplistic, mostly san serif font which signifies simplicity, modernism and an overall clean look. However on the letter 'Rs' we see a flick, which would be classed as a serif font, symbolising professionalism and a sign of experience. I like this contrast and think it will appeal to my target audience. When creating these masthead ideas, I noticed that if I position the word 'rep' underneath the word 'more' in the right position the 're' on both words sit directly on top of eachother. This signifies the idea of doing repetitions of an exercise in the gym with the repetiton of 're'. This works well with the topic of my magazine being about gym and overall fitness.

Research - Bill Nicholl - 6 modes of documentary

https://voicethread.com/myvoice/thread/28529366 Reflection - Researching Bill Nicholl and his 6 modes of documentary has been very educational. By learning about each 'mode' of documentary, it has given me a variety of structures to choose from, that I can follow for my own production. I particularly like the sound of 'expository' documentaries, which involve interviews and deliver a clear message. If I was to a documentary about mountain safety, I could include interviews with Mountain Rescue members, to help deliver a clear message across. I also quite like 'observation' documentaries, which observe the truth and capture 'uninterrupted' footage. However, I am not sure how well that would work with a mountain safety documentary, as I doubt Mountain Rescue would let me film them doing a real rescue callout.

Critical Questions - Advanced

Critical Questions  How did your research inform your products and the way they use and challenge Conventions?   This essay is about my A2 coursework documentary, ‘Mountains Bite Back’. Documentary is a technique of showing a non-fictional plot to get an essential message or theme across to your target audience, being defined by John Grierson, who was known as the ‘Father of documentary’, as “the creative treatment of actuality”. My product follows the typical conventions such as drone footage, interviews and voiceovers, being an expository documentary. I took inspiration from David Attenborough’s ‘Planet Earth’, which allowed me to understand how these conventions are used correctly for a documentary of this nature. I filmed my interview in a conventional way to contrast the fast-paced action of the Mountain Rescue teams responding to callouts. Unfortunately, some of this material had to be taken from their own archives, because of the health and safety contraints of being ab...
