Post Production -Task 1 Answer.

  • You have 5 minutes to brainstorm everything you did for your main product at AS at the stage of post-production.
  • At the stage of Post-production for as I:
  • Created a draft cover, contents and DPS using Photoshop.
  • Created a final draft cover, contents and DPS using Photoshop.
  • In Photoshop, I used tools such as the crop tool, correction tool to airbrush the images, adjusted the levels, curves, saturation of the images, used the text tool, used the dodge, greyscale and burn tools, I also used art filters to create the cover.
  • I downloaded a font for my magazine text from dafont.com and installed it.
  • I Edited eat Photo individually on Photoshop and created a slideshare presentation.
  • I asked for peer feedback on my first draft aswell as teacher feedback in order to improve points for my final draft.
  • I uploaded my final drarfts to my blog aswell as printing them off onto large scale for the hand-in.
  • I wrote up my first and final draft of my article with my artist to use on my DPS.
  • Software Pros/Cons:
  • The software I used was Photoshop, I found it extremely easy to work with as I had used Photoshop before and because of this I felt that I could experiment more with the tols it provides although overall I love this program.
  • There were no real cons to the software at AS, the only thing would be that the technology I used to take my images, i.e., my camera at AS did not provide me a guarenteed good result as some images were ruined by the blur that I found after uploading to my computer.
  • My Streengths/Weaknesses:
  • I feel that my strengths at AS were especially with Photoshop as I have had experience working with it before and love creating things within the program. I feel that this pre-prepared skill enabled me to create the work that I did.
  • I feel that another strength of mine was my ability to reseach. I feel that mise en scene and the idea of a 'concept' and link thoughout my work is vital and so my research into locations and styling etc. proved well for me to do this.
  • I think that my weaknesses were possibly time management at AS, as I left things unplanned which cost time, this is something I hoped to improve for my A2 year.
