Since the preliminary I have developed my skills in all fields of content creating, though admittedly some more than others. While my editing skills generally remains the same as I used the same editing software and techniques, my photography has greatly improved and I feel I have come far in creating an image with a lot to say and not just a boring photograph.





In my preliminary, my Image was a one minuet picture a took with a friend I found who wasn't busy. I didn't put a lot of effort into framing or lighting, and just took the photo as It was and worked with what I have. However, for my final piece I had a stronger knowledge of what made up a good photograph and how I should frame the shot and play with lighting to get an interesting dynamic of colours in the photo. I feel that if I went back to the preliminary task now, I would try a lot harder on my raw images, instead of relying on fancy editing to get my result.

I now understand the importance of careful planning and how if you put hard work into the project before production, then the production process is so much more easier to get through.

I also learnt about the importance of good content within my magazine. For my contents page of the preliminary, I had very few articles, that were boring and unappealing to look at. The colouring was terrible and the quote was cheesy, but my final piece definitively has a contents page that is an improvement on the last. I learnt about the importance of a colour scheme and good structure and format on a page, instead of just throwing the article titles where I think they looked best. In addition, I made the articles and their descriptions much more appealing in the final piece than the preliminary.

Overall I feel like I have come a long way from the preliminary task. I have learnt a lot as a content creator about what is required of you, and where you can bend and twist the rules a bit to make something unique and special to you. I have learnt that planning and preparation are a huge part of the entire production process, and without I, it would make a mess of the content, and make it extremely difficult to make a good product in the end
