still a little empty, and needs more on the covers, but a start i did originaly have a picture, but became ‘to’ edited, so i removed it, and i’m going to put a new pic in.
I did a bit of analysis on this particular Q magazine. I quite liked the design, and i think it is the sort of thing i’m going to use.
i want to be using a white background, but with some sort of design featur (in this, it’s the earthquake).

Mise-en-scene
The scene is in a dark, not very well lit room. There is a bit of light coming from the window, showing it is very bright, but the curtains block out any of the light.
There are two photos of just him in military uniform. This shows that he is alone, and solitary, but also that he is a strong, overpowering figure.
There is a chair, but with no one on it, making the place more awkward, and void of life.
The small ray of life is on the woman showing she’s a ‘bright’ person, and that he is quite dark. The walls are a brown-green colour, making the room look dark, and lifeless.
The man is constantly clattering with his cutlery, and as there are no other sounds in the room, it makes it very awkward for the woman, and she can’t stand to see him, so turns away (there is a close up on her at this point). This makes her notice one of the photos of him in his military uniform, they use an eyeline shot to do this.
There is a model of a man, riding a horse which is rearing up. This again, shows he is an overpowering figure, and we know he will be able to manipulate her into doing what he wants.
Even though it is breakfast, he is wearing very smart suit, making him seem odd, but he does fit in with all the other expensive furniture and cutlery. She, on the over hand, is not well dressed up she is a plain dress, but if it wasn’t for the ray of light, would sink into the background colour.
Sorry, couldn’t log onto wordpress at home, so had to e-mail it to myself and do it at school.

Hawking scene HW…
Camera angles
The scene starts off with a close up to his face; this would be to show his vulnerability and weakness. The shot is done quite messy and we can see the bars/railings for his bed. This shows disorder, and confusion
It the goes to have a shot where we can see more of the room, a high angled shot, and it’s slightly cantered, this makes the patients seem weak and vulnerable, like they did with Hawking. It makes it seem like the patients are being watched, and that they are exposed, this gives the impression that they don’t have a time to themselves while in the hospital.
They moved on to a eye line match of hawking, to show that he is looking at the bed being made.
It then goes to a scene of him and the doctor walking down the corridor. There is an over the shoulder shot at Hawking, so you can see his reactions with what the doctor is telling him. This makes the doctor seem detached to what is being said, makes him quite cold.
Light
The light from the windows show the hope Hawking has to what is said by the doctor, like it is a faint glimmer of hope in what else is dark. The light is the understanding, and hope Hawking has, and the dark is confusion. This makes the scene seem uncomfortable and eerie. His glasses reflect the world around him, showing he cannot see clearly.
just started off my magazine aimed at younger people. I decided to specificly aim it at 6th form students.
that is why i put the ‘6′ covering up the Choz. I got this sort of idea from music magazines like ‘NME’
this magazine is way to basic, but i would like to have the creast on my prospectus, when i can find one
As this is a magazine aimed at parents of younger children, it was hard to get any ideas from it. But in my latest edit of the adult mag, i did imitate the writing of this.
As you can see, i did my ‘latest’ word i made in bold, large, yellow letters to make it stand out an emphisise the fact the chs is always making new facilities

school magazine idea 1
i found this magazine tobasic and boring, but i liked the fact it had the school crest on it, which i will try to imitate in the future
a bit more editing to my original chs mag. Just put a black border round the writing, making it stand out more and just look nicer
finaly managed to get my vladimir propp hw up without my internet crashing.
Vladimir identified the 8 roles for every character in a film or book:
The villain — struggles against the hero.
The donor — prepares the hero or gives the hero some magical object.
The (magical) helper — helps the hero in the quest.
The princess and her father — gives the task to the hero, identifies the false hero, marries the hero, often sought for during the narrative. Propp noted that functionally, the princess and the father could not be clearly distinguished.
The dispatcher — characters who makes the lack known and sends the hero off.
The hero or victim/seeker hero — reacts to the donor, weds the princess.
[False hero] — takes credit for the hero’s actions or tries to marry the princess.
These characters can be used in any time of narrative
Tzvetan Todorov
Tzvetan Todorov said that at the start of a story there is equilibrium, where opposing forces are balanced.
Then something interrupts this, breaking the equilibrium setting up a chain of events.
The problems are solved at the end so that the equilibrium is restored
this is my first attept at the chs mag. I focussed on editing the picture, making it seem like a more friendly . This particular try is aimed at adults, who want their children into the school.
i edited the picture by changing the sky. Before it was bleak dark clouds, but i cut that out, got in a picture of a clear sky and placed in the layer behind the picture. I also edited out some of the construction around the new building. i put the picture behind a green backround (because that’s the schools colour) with purple stripes, just to make it a bit more interesting.
