Reflection on Syllabus- Blog #2

 





Hello!

In my introduction I mentioned why I started this blog, which is to document my progress on creating a four page magazine for my final project in the AICE Media Studies course. 

I’ve taken a yearbook elective which involved me in creating captions for photos and small extracts to fill yearbook pages. I learned how to put together the more textual parts of the yearbook such as the narrative and primary headlines, which is why I’m much more advanced in my writing skills than in the creativity department. 


Three aspects of this course I’m looking forward to:

- I’m looking forward to learning about how the format of a magazine should be. 

- I’m excited to start editing on canva to create pieces I can use in my magazine.

- I’m looking forward to seeing the end result of my magazine and how much I have learned. 

Three aspects of this course that makes me nervous:

- I am nervous about learning subject specific terminology because that is not my strong suit.

- I’m nervous about figuring out the theme and how to put the pages together.

- I am nervous about understanding how to communicate meanings through close analysis of the interaction of media language and audience responses.


What I hope to gain from this course is a new appreciation for anyone who has to go through this process of creating a magazine. I wish to develop critical understanding of international, global, and local media through engagement with media products. I want to learn how the impact of media within a variety of cultures influences social values. Finally, I hope this course develops my creativity in anything I wish to do in the future.
