Production 6-Re-evaluation Part Two

Unfortunately I have been canceled on once more. Now I must contact Ella Scarlett, my last resort. The main reason I kept Ella as my last option is simply because I have never met her before. From what I've heard she seems like a nice person that should be able to help me out. Also, from what I have heard, she is very talented and very established in the women's golf community, so thankfully this option may work better. Since this is very last minute and short notice I will be crunched for time this next week. I still plan to use the Village Green golf course, and use the same camera angles. Thankfully I shouldn't have to provide any props since Ella has been golfing for quite some time.  

Production 5-Interview and Photoshoot Part Two

After getting in touch with Alex Lebanino, she agreed to do the interview on the 17th of January. I plan to meet her at the Village Green golf course around 5 o'clock. Since Alex is relatively newer to the sport, I will focus my questions more towards her future goals and plans related to the sport. After I collect the information I need, I plan to spend all of next week working on importing my images to InDesign, and putting my magazine together. 

Production 4-Re-evaluation

Unfortunately, Roxana is no longer able to do the interview and photoshoot. Im looking at a a few different options, one being Alex Lebanino, a senior at sarasota high, and Ella Scarlett, a junior at sarasota high who I do not know very well. At this point I will most likely end up conducting the interview and photoshoot next week due to the nature of the situation. I will get in contact with Alex first because I know her better, and hopefully be able to set something up. I still plan to use the same golf course and props. I will also perform the same camera angles as previously determined. 

Production 3-Interview and Photoshoot

Tomorrow I plan to take my pictures and conduct my interview for my feature article.  My picture will be taken at the Village Green Golf Course, and I will conduct my interview there as well. My interview questions relate to things like, “who is your biggest moti vation,” or, “what inspired you to get into golf  as a child?” Since Roxana golfs, I   don't   have to worry  about  providing attire  or   props such as clubs.   Also, I need to finish the outline for the cover page, so I only need to insert my picture  and make my finishing touches. I plan to compose my feature article next week. After that I will have all my pieces done and will only need to focus on editing and peer reviewing.   

Production 2-Setting up the Cover and Feature Article

After  I  wait ed  the rest  of the  week,  I received no responses from the professional golfers. I  decided to go with my back up plan and interview someone from my school.  I have a few options and whoever gets back to me first is who I will choose to interview and photograph.  My first option, Roxana  Simeonova , has been golfing for  the past 7 years, and is one of my closer friends. Next, Lilly Sikorski, I do not know very well I have only heard of her through other people.  With this in mind, I began writing my interview questions for my feature article, and working on a rough draft of my cover.  Next,  after scouting various locations  I have determined where I will take my photos .   I will be using the  Village Green golf course. I myself am very familiar with the course, and find it very visually pleasing so it will be the perfect spot to  take my pictures.   

Production 1-Scouting and Planning

  Wednesday December 16, 2020:   I messaged 5 of the world's top 20 women's golfers on Instagram in hopes to receive an interview and a photoshoot.  Danielle Kang, Nelly Korda, Lexi Thompson, Brooke Henderson,  and Jennifer Kupcho. I am currently waiting for their respon s es .   Seeing as these women are very popular, I will most likely not receive a response from any of them . If this is the case, I will focus on someone more local, or even somebody that attends my school.   For the interview I plan to write a script of  questions that  I will ask my interviewee. For the photos I will need props such as clubs and attire. Surely the golfer I’m interviewing will have these things on-hand, but  I will still contact her first before the photoshoot. I will have to take the photos on a golf course so I must determine where I will be going.  Over the weekend I’ll scout golf course locations. I’m thinking for the cover pa ge picture I will inc...

Storyboard Introduction

Image
The most challenging part about the story board for me was the artwork. I have never been good at drawing so it took me a bit to get exactly what I was looking for. However, this is not an issue going forward with my actual magazine was not an issue, since I will be taking pictures rather than drawing them. I think the thing that I liked most about the storyboard was its flexibility. " One of the best things about this process is its flexibility. You don't have to follow the rules exactly. And you can change the boards around easily" (Higgins, 1995). This quote resonated with me heavily because of how much it  related to my favorite part about the storyboard. The storyboard was so enjoyable for me mainly because I didn't have to worry if my work was right or wrong, and I could do it exactly how I wanted to do it. Another aspect of the story board that I enjoyed would be the visual one. " An important characteristic of storyboarding is its visual nature - not just...
