So far only 2 Avengers movies have been released
Avengers Assemble and more recently Avengers: age of Ultron. There are other
movies scheduled for the Avengers franchise like Avengers infinity wars part 1
and part 2.
This post will be mainly focused on giving you a
brief explanation on the movies in the Avengers franchise.
Avengers
Assemble
Overview:
After the Tesseract (one of the
infinity gems) was stolen by Thor’s(an Asgardian prince) evil brother
Loki, S.H.I.E.L.Ds(international counter terrorism and
espionage unit) director Nick Fury decides he needs to assemble “earth’s
mightiest heroes. Tony Stark (Iron man), Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Hawkeye
and Black widow. But (expectedly) this doesn’t go so well, as we are shown the
god of thunder (Thor) battling it out with Iron man before they are even asked
to be a team. They realise this brawl allowed Loki to slip away. Now Loki armed
with his new powers opens a portal and uses an army of Chitauri (an alien race) to declare war on earth. Using team
work, and a heroic bit of self-sacrifice from Tony Stark(he pushes the rocket through the portal with himself still attached to
it), they defeat the monstrous aliens and save the earth, setting us up
for more adventures to come.

Accuracy- means I cannot provide incorrect or
misleading information to the audience. It may affect my article as they movies
have not yet come out and some of the thing I say are what the majority of
people believe but no one but those involved in the movies can accurately tell
us what will happen. To avoid these claims I will make sure that I distinguish
what the producers and studio have revealed and my views and thoughts on the
movies.
·
Privacy- I have to respect the privacy of someone’s
private life. I will not include the names or any information about any of the
actors in the movies unless they have provided me with permission to do so.
·
Copyright law- you are not allowed to use any
images/videos/literary/music/artistic material that is protected by the copy

Evaluation
My research into digital publishing helped me in many areas
and helped me to improve my work. Due to the research I conducted I decided to
write an informal and formal style work. This is because in the articles I
researched I found that they don’t make the article completely formal because
this may look too boring and at the same time they don’t make it completely
informal as this may look childish and unprofessional. So I decided to make
parts of my article formal and others informal. In the articles I researched I
found that the text would be separated depending on the topic and I decided
this would be a good layout for my article and I separated the article
depending on the movie. In my research I also found that the use of images is
very popular as it makes the article look more attractive to a reader and they
are more likely to pick an article with images over one without. I then made
the choice to add a lot of images representing a certain paragraph or section.
I used a lot of feedback to improve my work. A teacher
feedback i considered was that writing one article on Marvel and the other on
DC would be complicated and I would either have to write a biased article or
write two article on two different Marvel products instead. I decided that this
advice would be useful and changed my initial idea. Another piece of feedback
by a peer who said I should add interviews in my article. At first I thought
that it was a good idea however when I started interviewing people I found that
the feedbacks were similar and uninspired so I decided to add a comments option
at the bottom of the page so people can tell me their opinion instead.
I followed most of the thing I planned in pre-production. The
pre-production helped me stay on task and organise when I would do what tasks
and when I should finish the tasks. I tried my best to stay within the time
limit I had set myself but I did go over the time limit however I did manage to
complete everything on time. In the pre-production I also planned what I would
need for my work however this was complicated because some of the material I
needed were not available and this meant that I would have to compromise for
some of my work.
In Photoshop I used a lot of the plaster tool which is used
to clear and bruises, cuts and spots. This was a very helpful tool as it made
my work look clearer and cleaner. I also used the crop tool as some of my
images had some things in the background that I didn’t want in the picture. I
also used the crop tool to make some images smaller because they took up too
much space on by website. I experimented with the magic wand tool. This tool is
used to remove some areas and does it automatically rather than having you
select bit by bit. I thought of using this tool because I could use it to remove
the background in my image.
After I took my images I needed to take them off the camera
then save it onto a file on my computer because the camera was borrowed and if
I left it on the camera then someone may delete it and I will not be able to
use them again. I also backed it up by saving it on my memory stick as well.
When I wrote up my article I saved them as a word file as this was the best
program for a written article. All the hand written notes I did were kept in a
file just for journalism because this would prevent it from getting lost or being
mixed with other coursework.

two articles
Mail online is an
online news article. They use very formal language, for example “These are some
of the young German exchange students who had been on their way home from a
week-long trip in Barcelona”. They also include a lot of detail in their text
as this helps them look more professional whereas if they were to add very
little detail it would be too brief and may not look formal. They use the font
Arial as this is a recognised formal font and the colour is black. This will
help the article look smarter and this may also help to make more trustworthy.
The size of the writing is small as this helps make the article look more
complex as large writing usually is used in entertainment articles like
BuzzFeed. The layout is portrait as this helps to make the article look more
professional as a landscape article would be used for a more informal website.
They add around 2 images under every paragraph, they do this because it
provides a visual aid for the audience as some people may not understand the
text. Also this helps to catch the reader’s eye as they are more likely to see
an image before they read the text. Columns are used as this is something you
would find in more serious article like The Guardian which is well known for
being professional and serious this will also help to make Mail online look as
formal. This also helps to allow more information in a short space in the
articles. They use captions under the images in the article as this helps the
audience to understand the images if they are not straight forward enough. They
don’t use any pull quotes as all of their quotes are incorporated into the text
because this makes it simple and smother to read. They try to include at least
one video into every article as this allows the readers to receive information
from different areas like text, images and videos. They also have comments,
like and sharing options as this helps to make the article more interactive
also this promotes the website as people can share the article with their
friends. They use mainly medium shots in the article as this is a simple shot
and doesn’t overcomplicate the article which would be bad for people who may
not be able to follow the article as well as others. They also use some close
up shots if they need an image to show a specific person or to show emotional
detail in there face. They use a white background as this makes the article
look more simple and formal. The purpose of the article is to inform the
readers. I know this because the main articles they post are about current
affairs around the world.
BuzzFeed is an
online web article. The article above is formal as the sentences are very
straight forward, for example “In the absence of factual information furnished
to the mainstream press”, this sentence uses very formal words rather than
slang and other informal language like saying “in the absence of factual
information” rather than “they haven’t given us any info”, this also make the
article look more serious as they are talking about Bruce Jenner wanting to be
a woman and talking in an informal and humorous manner would be offensive to
some people. The font they use is Helvetica which is a modern font, they used a
modern font because it is a simpler and more relaxed font which make the
article look like an easier read whereas a serif font would be found in a
traditional style newspaper like the article and this makes it look more
complex. The heading and subheading is in bold because they are the first thing
the audience will read and if it is in bold then in is more likely to grab the
audience’s attention. Hyperlinks are coloured blue e.g. “even some
Kardashian-Jenners themselves in the past”, this is because this helps the
audience to find it easily and helps them read more about a certain article if
they didn’t find what they are looking for in the article. The article is
portrait because this shows that it is a formal article discussing a serious
issue and as they are informing the audience unlike a landscape article which
would most likely be used for entertainment. They use captions under the
pictures as this helps the audience to understand the image if they cannot
understand straight away. They haven’t included any pull quotes as they use
quotes in the text, they do this because it makes it easier for the reader to
understand the text and makes the article more fluent. They don’t have any page
numbers as the article continuous and just extends downward. In the article they
use lots of different shot types as the images were most likely taken by
paparazzi and it was not an organised photo shoot. However the images that are
theirs are either close ups or medium shots as these help to show emotions and
it makes the images simpler. They use mainly bright colours as this makes the
article more lively, this may help to show readers that it is a fun article and
informal. The main purpose of the article is to entertain as they have lots of
interesting articles as well as memes and quizzes. They also inform the reader
about current affairs and celebrity news. Sometimes they have interactive
elements in the article, for example the quizzes are interactive elements.
Sometimes they also include videos and they let you comment on articles.

BOARD MEETING FEEDBACK
-it was well planned
-it was easy and simple to understand what the article is going to be about.
-add interviews with comic/marvel fans to get a wide range of views from different people
i have given this idea some consideration and i believe it would be a good part for my online article, as people can read the views of a wide range of people and not just mine.
-include my own back story:
why I prefer marvel over other comic companies
how i got into comics and marvel
why i want to write an article helping people understand marvels avengers franchise.
this will help to give a deeper understanding into why i enjoy comics and why i prefer marvel. this can also help to convince people to read my article as there are more than on topic.
-maybe focus on just Marvel or Just DC as this helps it stop being bias
i thought this considered this comment and decided to just focus on Marvel as this makes my articles less bias and simpler.
