1. VailValley *The title- "Vail" is white and "Valley" is red, probably to make it more visibly appealing to the buyer. *The cover picture focuses on a waist up shot of a smiling girl who looks like an experienced fisher holding up a brown trout with one hand and a fly fishing rod in the other. This is probably used to attract male buyers as they see the attractive girl, as well as items they are interested in such as fishing. Based on the other ads in the magazine, the target audience would be women in between 20-50 because it shows fashion, shopping, houses, nature, antiques, spas, etc. The ads are bright with color and most sell a peaceful time in buying their services, like gym, camping trips, spas, vacations, and foods. The main article is more toward the end of the magazine and shows the reader women fishing, trying to get them to try it and other outdoor activities. The ads are placed in the front and back of the magazine, and the ads go with or even

The Magazine... The biggest reason why I'm going to do the magazine is because I understand it better than the video project. The magazine project gives me a list of what to do (front page/table of contents/2 page article), while to do the video you have to come up with your own format plan. Another reason is that I can target a specific interest of mine which doesn't have be a widely popular topic. I understand the things I like the most, and doing a magazine of my interests gives me the optimal potential to do the best project I can to get the highest grade. Like stated in the con section of the film production, the element of sound would be a con for me. Though others would jump at the chance to add a variety of sounds and benefit from them, I feel dealing with the sound in the film would just slow me down and become added stress. a magazine obviously doesn't have sound so I can just focus on making a good visual element for the piece. I've always been a good wri

Movie Production Pro- A pro of creating the first two minutes of a movie would absolutely be the freedom and individualism of it. Like the magazine, I could create a movie of anything that interests me, and that lets me put my best effort into creating it. I have lots of interests ranging from sports to politics to science to art, and making a movie about any of those would be fun for me. Con- Though I could make a movie about anything that interests me, I also have to make a movie about something that interests others, so I'm limited to popular genres for this project. I wouldn't be able to put forth as much effort at something that somewhat interests me but is really popular over something that really interests me but is unpopular. There's also the added step of sound. Working with video making in the past, It came as a struggle with me to get the sounds in a film paired up with the actions. The quality and volume has to be good, and it will be time-consuming to get

Print Journalism Pro-  The making of magazines including picture and word format are interesting to me. Pictures can be strategically placed to get the reader's attention. Words can be in short columns if you want to reader to read it more easily. and if you want to make it harder for the reader to read, (you're not 100% confident of the legitimacy of what you wrote), put the words in longer columns and use bigger words so the reader would get tired of reading and just look at the good pictures. It can also be any magazine of your choice and interests. It makes it so much easier to write because since you're writing about something you care about, you can describe and explain it better, which in turn helps the reader to understand it better. Con- A con of writing a magazine would with be the table of contents. I imagine trying to figure out where each page would go and distribute the articles with the ads so that they can be strategically placed to get more buyers wou
