Preliminary Task - Writing Leads 2


 


Welcome back to my blog!

Hello all! So last time I began writing practice leads to prepare for my final magazine's double page spread. This will be a continuation of that as I write yet another short story followed by a feature lead that would go along with it.

 Scientists at NASA wait nervously as the first manned launch to Mars is scheduled to take place this Thursday. The launch, over 5 years in the making will be the first of its kind, and could open the way for continued human exploration of our solar system and the eventual colonization of the red planet. Final preparations and flight checks are underway at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida as a small crowd has already begun to gather ahead of this historic launch. These astronauts, handpicked as some of the best in their field, form the group of 4 humans that will pierce the heavens and move humanity towards new frontiers. Experts are excited for the launch, as they believe that  due to the extensive preparation undertaken by NASA, a failure is highly unlikely. We can however only wait and see what happens this Thursday.

World waits with bated breath as long-awaited Mars launch nears its Thursday launch day. Historic launch 'a new frontier for Humanity'.

Once again, I followed the same formula as for my previous story, and condensed the story into its major points.

Goodbye, and see you soon with another update!

Compulsory Question 4

 Welcome back to my blog! Today I will be answering compulsory question 4. Prezi Presentation:  https://prezi.com/p/-ovwsyoexlzb/?present=1 Prezi Video: https://prezi.com/v/y4em-lccoiy7/ Transcript   Hello, my name is David Martinez, my candidate number is 1421, my center number is US154, and today I will be answering compulsory question 4 for my AICE Media Studies Class.  Compulsory Question 4 asks, how did you integrate technologies - software, hardware, and online - in this project? To which I have to say, throughout this project, technology in the form of hardware, software, and online websites were heavily ingrained in the entire production of my magazine from the first blog to the entire final magazine. Without technology, I would have been unable to complete any of the tasks required of me. Software such as PhotoShop and the game Elden Ring helped me in the creation of my magazine. PhotoShop allowed me to edit and remove the background of the photos that I took, and the game Eld

Compulsory Question 3

 Welcome back to my blog! Today I will be answering Compulsory Question 3. Prezi Presentation:  https://prezi.com/p/vz7yt4yqhl6e/?present=1 Prezi Video: https://prezi.com/v/j_qaogdenhl0/ Transcript  Hello, my name is David Martinez, my candidate number is 1421, my center number is US154, and today I will be answering compulsory question 3 for my AICE Media Studies Class.  Compulsory question 3 asks, how did your production skills develop throughout this project?  To which I say, while developing my magazine, my skills especially in digital design have improved tremendously. This is obvious when comparing my submissions for the preliminary task compared to the submissions for my final magazine. I have improved my ability to use software such as PhotoShop to edit my photos, and Canva to compose my designs into a working item.  The preliminary task allowed me to dip my feet into the world of magazine creation. I had to gather pictures relevant to the topic, edit them, and then make sure t

Compulsory Question 1

  Welcome back to my blog! Today I will be answering Compulsory Question 1. Prezi Presentation Link:  https://prezi.com/p/rk-9blvh5bca/?present=1 Prezi Video Link:  https://prezi.com/v/gltauyjihsvn/ Transcript     Hello everyone, my name is David Martinez, my candidate number is 1421, my center number is US154, and today I will be answering compulsory question 1 for my AICE Media Studies Class.  Compulsory question 1 asks, how does your product use or challenge social conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? My answer to that is, my magazine is in line with the guidelines of a standard magazine, which include a masthead, tag line, cover image, barcode, cover lines, an issue number, and a date. To gain an idea of how these principles are applied by real magazine publishers, I used PCGamer and GAME as an inspiration. So, let's look at my cover page conventions. When looking at the cover of my magazine, the first thing you notice is the masthead, which is written
