Print Component- Brainstorming

    Hey blog readers, how's it going? Oh how am I doing? I'm doing pretty great. I had the opening night of the show I'm putting on right now at school (Pippin :) last night, with two more nights to give it all the cast and I have coming up today and tomorrow. While that's happening, I also want to give this project all I have but it's been hard with the theater productions I've been involved in in the past two months. But, I am here to talk about a positive step forward into another part of the project for this year, hopefully paving the way for a more dedicated Victoria: 

The Print Component- Magazine Article

    The print component tied to creating a documentary is to create 2 pages of a magazine article. There are specific requirements, with the bullet point list below highlighting the things we need to have in ours:    

• Typical Format of a Magazine: Prominent title, page #'s in bottom outside corners + magazine title on top corners, byline, bolded interview questions (standout in some way)...
• Self-taken pictures
• Publishment exs: Entertainment Weekly, Film magazine...
• Optional: Extra info boxes

    While we still want to look into examples to see what type of style we want to make the magazine, we have already decided on the concept of the content of the magazine, as we have a strong idea of the larger picture of the different things we want to say in our overall project. Out of the three main "alleys" that are conventionally chosen that we were presented with (BTS content, explain concept of doc, or a director focus), we want to combine director focus and explanation of concept to give a more serious perspective on the sociological implications/studies of the state of connection in our modern world. We have already filmed with a psychologist (I'm sorry I never updated you about that) that we will be implicating throughout the article to help move the topics which we are very excited about! 

    We will probably start to actually work on the magazine closer to the final two weeks of the project deadline, as we want to focus on finishing the beginning of the documentary first. Below are pictures of notes from the class presentation on all of the print component details:
