  My initial impression of InDesign and Premier Pro was that I thi nk Premier Pro might be more difficult to use than InDesign. However,  Premier  Pro was not working on my computer, so I wasn’t able to play arou nd with the program  very much. InDesign looked  fairly simple  and easy to learn after the videos we watched . Premier Pro helps you edit videos and add them all together to make a movie.  InDesign  allows you to paste pictures, draw, type and make shapes so you can  create a  magazine , if I choose to do  that.   One component in InDesign that will help me is the way you can edit photos because it is  pretty easy  to do and there  are  many options to choose from.  Using InDesign will allow me to make sure I can get a really good main image and play with all the fonts, so I can attract more readers and produce more sales. A component from Premier Pro that will  help me if I choose the mo...

I also never realized that magazines and certain magazine brands are targeted toward a specific audience. Magazines put certain images, text, and people on the cover that will attract a potential reader.

Women will see this and be drawn in and they will want to see what the magazine is about. When magazines have bold, colorful fonts, celebrities as the main image, and coverlines that have to do with current events, they are more likely to draw in more readers. If a magazine is boring and has n...

I have not really thought about the opening sequence of the films and their role even though I have watched so many movies. Now that I watched the beginning clips of certain movies, I realized that sometimes those beginning clips can make or break the beginning of the movie. I also never payed much attention to the songs or audio that were at the start of the movie or the fonts of the credits, but when I noticed them, I can see how it refers to what the movie is about. For example, in the movie "Scream," the opening scene includes the title of the movie in creepy, red lettering with screams in the background which right away gives the impression that this will be a scary movie. According to the article, " First frames: titles in the digital realm",  " Film titles are very important because they set up the expectation of an audience. They are usually the first thing you see."  The first five minutes of the movie also shows a girl home alone and she gets a s...
