1st article for old

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.

·         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 right law. I will not use any images that will affect the copyright law, to manage this I will first have to ask permission from the studio or the people that have the rights to any images from the movies.


·         Extract/quotation of others- using parts of other peoples work in your own. I will not use any extract from other sites where I have acquired my information.

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.
