How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
My production skills have improved through the year. Although I was not able to finalize the project with the outbreak of the corona virus, I know my skills have improved. At the beginning of the year, when starting my media studies class, I did not have a full grasp of what producing a magazine meant. I now know it takes a lot of effort, editing, and expertise in photography. I have done photo shoots of different subjects almost every week with my camera, which allowed me to improve my photography skills. I have become well-versed in photography terminology and familiarized myself to work effectively with different lighting and angles. Adjusting the shutter speed, aperture, and focal ratio are all small details that can largely impact the outcome of a photo. Additionally, with much research completed concerning producing magazines, I consider myself more knowledgeable than at the beginning of the year. Another significant part of magazines is providing credible and interesting information and stories within it. Covering the environment, I focused on this topic and learned about it further in other classes, such as marine science. I was definitely prepared to produce my final project if given the opportunity and time.
