How Did the Lessons on Depth of Field and Photography Techniques Prepare Me to Take Pictures for My Magazine?

  What was the impact from the lessons on depth of field on the preparation for my magazine? The lesson my teacher gave on the topics of depth of field and photography techniques helped me in many ways to get ready for the photos needed in my magazine. First, we learned what depth of field meant, depth of field is the distance between the nearest and furthest objects that allows for the image to be focused on camera. Also, when taking photos depth plays an important role in pictures by making two-dimensional subjects into three- dimensional causing for the photo to be more attractive towards the viewer. Then next in the lesson of depth of field the class was taught that the larger the number (such as f/8) is on the camera to focus it will bring all the foreground and background objects in focus. When going to lower numbers (such as f/1.4) this brings focus on the foreground objects blurring the background out. This helped me with my magazine since...

Designing the Table of Contents

Example of a Mock Table of Contents The Important Factors to Forming the Table of Contents: In semester one of media studies, we moved on to covering the steps to designing the table of contents. So, to start this new topic off my teacher went over presentations in class that consisted of material showing what's needed to make the table of contents in the magazines we read. She first started off with explaining how the table of contents has to compliment the cover design since it usually follows up after the title page. When making the table of contents it's important to make it stand out creating a good first impression on the reader. If the reader eye is not caught by skimming past the table of contents, they wouldn't want to read any further within the magazine. One thing we learned to do that can draw in a reader is including secondary coverage. This shows emphasis on main topics that will be included into the magazine allowing for the readers to get a glimpse of what t...

How to Prepare for an Interview

  How do you Prepare for an interview?  The next topic my teacher introduced us to was Interviewing. Earlier in the school year during august we went around the campus interviewing students about what their favorite social media was and why. Now being in second semester the subject is now brought back up but this time we learn how to prepare for an interview. My teacher first started by partnering us in groups of two to interview each other. We had to ask five questions about our partner based on what they had on their all about me organizer along with taking two quotes and three facts from the interview. But as for preparation when preparing for an interview you want to make sure you take time preparing the questions. Currently I am working on an assignment where I have to come up with twenty questions to interview someone for my magazine. While coming up with the questions I have to make sure that the answers to these questions can be used in the making of my ...
