------------------
TASK 1 - Open a new post and title it: "NEA Planning task 2 - My Mood Board".
------------------
TASK 2 - Review your chosen brief...
ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS:
- What brief did you choose? State the two products you're required to produce.
- What are the minimum requirements for your chosen productions?
- What is the target audience as prescribed in the brief?
- What is your target audience for the products you're creating? (this needs to link to the audience profiling post).
------------------------
TASK 3 - Write an introduction to the task. This needs to explain what you're going do... in this case it needs to be along the lines of:
"In this task I'll explore different types of images, fonts and colours to use in my......... . I shall be looking at different connotations and how these affect the way my target audience might view my product. By creating this mood board I will also be exploring creative ways of how to present my work".
-----------------------
TASK 4 - Create a mood board (at least 2) that give an indication of the types of images (may include photos and/or illustrations), overall colour scheme, types of fonts and colours you are considering using in your productions.
You might want to use technology (an app) or plain paper, found pictures and glue.
If you choose to use the latter (paper, pictures and glue) you must then take pictures of your finished mood boards and email them to yourself so that you can upload them to your blog later on.
Your mood boards needs to have a selection of text (type of font, sizes and colour), colour themes and kind of images that would help explain they style and concept of the magazine you want to make.
You could also use pictures you have taken yourself - this will make your mood board more relevant to what you're doing in your productions.
Here are some examples of mood boards... what do you think makes them effective?
-----------------------
TASK 5 - When you finish the mood boards you need to analyse them answering the following questions:
- How did they helped you define content for your products?
- What will be your overall colour scheme of your productions?
- What kind of images/shots would you use in your productions?
- What kind of fonts would you use in your productions?
- What kind of mise-en-scene would you use in your productions?
- What kind of intertextuality would you use in your productions?
- Which media theory(ies) are you likely to use in your productions?
