Week 10
- 1. Week 10 During this week I split my time contributing and learning to use the Apple programme “Final Cut Pro”, researching and writing my text for my double page spread. My findings were useful in understanding the language and wording used in real media texts. In addition to this I gained an understanding to the type of language suitable for a member of my target audience however because I am of a similar age and take a keen interest in the media and up and coming films I was able to use personal familiarity to make my media text comprehensible and engaging for my audience. My choice of magazine article was a interview the reason for choosing this was because of my target audience my research showed me that the use of technical language was not used heavily in similar media text this was because reading magazines and review was a leisure activity meaning it had to be enjoyable and engaging. With that I opted for the interview of the actor who played that main character “Sophia” which was my self, for this I had interview myself as an up and coming young actor. This was something I also decided on due to my research I discovered that young people like to follow the journey of those new to the entertainment industry. This meant this type of article would be similar to real media text my target audience would read. Through the week my group collectively work in the initial editing of the footage we had filmed. In this period I learnt how to use the basic editing tools as well as how to upload the footage on to Final Cut Pro. The understanding of using Final Cut Pro was through trial and error and research using websites such as http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/usermanual/ and the YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/FinalCutKing?feature=watch helped when trying to solve problems or trying to learn a new editing technique.
