My Vision

-

    This post will serve as a foundation for what my AICE Media Studies Component 1 will be based on. As the year progresses, it is important not only for me but for the viewers or graders at Cambridge to have a good or well-established basis for what my Component 1 will be focused on. It is important for me to stay loyal to this basis or at least come back to this post and alter it slightly if it must. 

    For my AICE Media Studies Component 1, I will be doing the "Magazine task (print)" option. This magazine will based on the topic of film or movies. For the feature article, I plan to make it about the most anticipated movies of 2024, as that is when this magazine will be finished and later on reviewed by the people who grade my AICE components or exams. By making this the feature article, I am making the magazine seem mire timely relevant as I am writing about what movies this year are the most anticipated by the public rather than a focus on upcoming releases, which I feel over time will be a stale topic.

    I plan to make the magazine have a modern look and that encompasses the feel and look of a film-focused magazine as well. I plan on achieving this through the use of a color palette that has colors that are associated with the movies, such as red, black, grey, etc. I will mainly fonts that look modern and informal, straying away from fonts that appear more formal, such as serif fonts.

Out of all the different text sections or text boxes, the font for the title of the magazine was by far one of the most important, if not the most important for me to focus on and really the pick one that I both like and feel suits the magazine as the title is one of the first components that grabs the eye when looking at a magazine.     For the title, I already had a vision of how I wanted it to look or at least, a foundation of the essentials for the title font. I felt that the title font should look modern, good while capitalized, and devoid of looking formal, such as cursive fonts or fonts with serifs. As I indicated, one of the focuses with the title font was that it looked good while being capitalized, and this is because I intended on making the title fully capitalized, so the font had to look natural at this aspect as if it was meant to be...

Every year, moviegoers are expecting and excited for many new and interesting films to keep them entertained. With the new year, we have a new lineup of films set to release, varying from the musical comedy “Mean Girls” to the science fiction monster film “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.” With all this in mind, here are some of 2024’s most anticipated films. First, we have “Mean Girls,” an adaptation of the 2018 Broadway musical, which is an adaption of the original 2004 film (Couch, 2024).
