Evaluation Question 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? During this product I have learnt more on how to use Adobe Photoshop and Prezi. I used Adobe Photoshop to create all three of my media products and also for my preliminary product. I used Prezi during my evaluation to improve my knowledge of the software from when I first tried to use it for my research and planning but found it difficult. During the construction of my media product I learnt how to use a camera to create the images that I used and also the text shots with other models. I learnt how to use different camera angles and different cameras during the construction of my three products. The first of the test shots. For this image I used a long shot to show the full costume of the model and the background. Also the model is looking down at the floor. Therefore this shot was not used for the front cover image as it does not have any country music aspects to it and the background is of a living room meaning that it does not fit with the country music conventions. This is the second of the test shots that I didn't use as the background looks unprofessional however the costume was a traditional stereotypical country outfit. I decided not to use this because of the background and also the costume seemed to stereotypical for my front cover image. I wanted my image to challenge the stereotype of country music. My image is going to challenge the checkered shirt and jeans stereotype that everyone places on country music artists. I used a low angle to make it look like the model was looking at the camera. The camera I used was an Apple

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

During this product I have learnt more on how to use Adobe Photoshop and Prezi. I used Adobe Photoshop to create all three of my media products and also for my preliminary product. I used Prezi during my evaluation to improve my knowledge of the software from when I first tried to use it for my research and planning but found it difficult. During the construction of my media product I learnt how to use a camera to create the images that I used and also the text shots with other models. I learnt how to use different camera angles and different cameras during the construction of my three products.

The first of the test shots. For this image I used a long shot to show the full costume of the model and the background. Also the model is looking down at the floor. Therefore this shot was not used for the front cover image as it does not have any country music aspects to it and the background is of a living room meaning that it does not fit with the country music conventions.

This is the second of the test shots that I didn't use as the background looks unprofessional however the costume was a traditional stereotypical country outfit. I decided not to use this because of the background and also the costume seemed to stereotypical for my front cover image. I wanted my image to challenge the stereotype of country music. My image is going to challenge the checkered shirt and jeans stereotype that everyone places on country music artists. I used a low angle to make it look like the model was looking at the camera. The camera I used was an Apple IPod 5, this meant that it was a recent camera that was designed and manufactured, it took a clear image.

For this image I used a medium close up to show the model's facial expression. I found this shot didn't fit with what I wanted my front cover to look like. As I wanted it to be a medium shot. I used my Apple I Phone 5S to take this image, the background was a white sheet that is commonly used during professional photo shoots. I chose to use this model as she fitted with what I wanted my main artist to look like and she also fitted within the target audience range meaning that the audience will be able to relate to her.
