Planning - Magazine front cover masthead styles

After looking into my initial idea of what my front cover may look like, I decided to look into the style options I could choose from for my masthead. I sketched out the three styles I think would look best beside from the style on my initial ideas sketch. I focused on having the ‘rep’ part to the side so I could in result make the main image – the model, bigger. Out of the three, my favourite was by far the second style. I really like the way the word ‘rep’ is attached to the word ‘more’. I will agree that this style is not as professional as other styles I could have chosen, however due to my target audience being teenagers, they are more likely going to be drawn in by an interesting and creative style that by something professional and in my eyes – the eyes of a teenager, boring.

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...
