Weather Report

The Task
For this task I completed analysis of a magazine double page spread in the style of a weather report.This enabled me to gain a clearer understanding of the way a successful double page spread would be set out.The key features that I focused on were the font, the font sizes, the image, the colour scheme, and any other small features present on the double page. 

The Research
From placing the double page spread I was analysing on to a large screen and presenting the features of it with animated stars I was able to show a clear understanding of the page and the knowledge I have already gained by doing my research into magazines. This task is able toe give me a better idea of present features on existing double page spreads as it is enhancing my abilities to pick out these key parts on the page. As an example I am can pick out certain parts such as the writing, where one or two words are written in complete capitals to emphasise certain factors, or parts of the celebrity in this case Adele or any other person being written about.

The Conclusion
This video allowed me to look in to what makes a successful double page spread and allowed me to identify what key parts need to be in the double page spread and other features that may not be as important but still contribute a small amount to the overall product.However another thing that I learnt from collecting and editing my video was some more final cut pro skills that will be able to be used later on in more research tasks, however I can still see that my skills need to be improved and added to as the cutting tool I used was not always accurate and has provided some jumpy moments to this research. Some other things that filming this video has provided me with is more knowledge and time working with final cut pro to help enhance my skills using the tool, this helps me to polish off some skills even though it is obvious I am still new to the programme due to parts that I have mentioned about about the jumping between shots due to filming mistakes. Creating this weather report has allowed me to show some knowledge I have already learnt in this course as well as show what else I need to learn. The key parts that I found out from analysing this cover and talking about the aspects of the double page, was the importance of the colour on the page and how each one can connote a different type of celebrity and can set the theme on the magazine. Another key thing that I learnt from this double page is the importance of text whether its the size, the font or the placing each contributes to the overall feel and look of the page and this is important as if the text is not appropriate sizing to the page or the font is out of place the article will not look or work well.
