STATEMENT OF INTENT

I am creating a magazine aimed at kids aged 11-14, I have themed it around dogs as kids this age are often getting their first pets to look after. This magazine is going to teach them how to train their dogs, what is safe and unsafe for their pups, and random fun facts that may come in helpful!
I have kept the colour scheme to one a child this age would be hooked into, blues/purples etc, with splashes of colour amongst to keep it vibrant, as  they are calming colours that compliment the excitement the target audience will be feeling when they see the dogs. However, the front cover will have a range of colours, as all these different aspects will excite the children, drawing them into the magazine making them want to buy it. 
The main image on the front will be of a dog, preferably a Jack Russel, sat right centre of the page. The dog will likely be looking very excited – hopefully radiating onto the target audience as well, making them want a dog and the magazine. The masthead will be in purple, sat right above the dogs head in block capitals to stand out nicely. Whilst the cover lines will be much smaller, scattered around the dog to create this organised chaos, like inside of a 11-13 year olds head. They will all be different colours to make the magazine once again stand out amongst the rest. There will be a mix between illustrated, and non illustrated pictures. To show the livelihood of the dogs and to see them in different elements. 
I will show this magazine is educational to the children as it’ll have step by step fun interactive instructions for the target audience to follow, whilst also being informed on the dangers they could be getting their dogs into if not safe, but in a friendly fun way! As this is the most effective way to draw them in whilst keeping them and their pup happy.

    Great first draft - I would just add in where you're following codes and conventions.

BBC School Report Evaluation

Evaluation. Who did you work with in a group? What was your role? I was working with Charlie and Rebekah, and my role was to interview Ricky. What story ideas did you research? We were thinking of doing something about the LGBTQ+ community, but decided against it. Which story idea did you use for your main story? Bodmin Riding and Heritage Day. What was the hardest part of creating a TV news story and why? The hardest part was trying to find the right dates to interview Ricky, and writing the scripts. Do you think your story followed professional conventions? Yes it did, it was a real professional interview and everything said was fact (unless stated). What do you like about your story? I like our story because i think its relevant and interesting, not a lot of people would know about this sort of thing so its teaching people a lesson. If you have to make another TV news story in the future what would you do diff...

Successful Interview Techniques

Successful interview techniques. Listen. From the very beginning of the interview, your interviewer is giving you information, either directly or indirectly. If you are not hearing it, you are missing a major opportunity. Good communication skills include listening and letting the person know you heard what was said. Observe your interviewer, and match that style and pace. Don't talk too much. Telling the interviewer more than he needs to know could be a fatal mistake. When you have not prepared ahead of time, you may ramble when answering interview questions, sometimes talking yourself right out of the job. Prepare for the interview by reading through the job posting, matching your skills with the position's requirements and relating only that information. Don't be too familiar.   The interview is a professional meeting to talk business. This is not about making a new friend. Your level of familiarity should mimic the inter...
