 #1. How was your experience in creating your blog/magazine?

I was a little lost in almost everything throughout this course but I still managed to get things done. I definitely would say that I learned a lot of things throughout the year. I came into this class not knowing a single thing about making a blog or a magazine. Well I had some ideas of it but I never knew making blogs and magazines would be this hard, to me at least. But as I went on, things started to get easier and I was more comfortable designing my blogs and magazines. I ran into many obstacles along the way but I was always guided to the right path. I would say that I have incredibly improved from when I first started which was in August and I gained a lot out of this course. Although I struggled a little bit while creating my blogs and magazine, I'm glad that I received the experience. I also learned a lot of things about film and media that I never knew before. I learned how to analyze scenes and what to look out for in films. I learned so much about camera angles and mise-en-scene elements. Before taking this class, I never thought so much about films and their structure until now. I never knew there could be so much to talk about in just one scene of a movie or show. This course has given me a new perspective on film and media.

 #3. Who is the target audience for my blog/magazine? As I said before, the topic of my blog and magazine center around sports, mainly basketball and football.

I have a perspective on sports that many other people have. I am able to share a interest that many other people have, that allows me to build an audience for my blog and magazine. I want to be able to share information and statistics about sports to other people that enjoy sports. Sports fans find a lot of their entertainment in the thrills and amazement in watching sports. If thrills and amazement were combined with graphics and eye catching color, fans are sure to be interested in catching up with sports blogs and magazines. So, my main objective was to target sports fans for my audience.  Sports fans  love their facts and statistics. They're interes

 #2. What was the inspiration behind your blog/magazine? When I first started out creating my blog, I was stuck on what I should do. I wasn't sure that I would be able to come up with something that I could work on throughout the course of this class. So I started to think more in depth about things that I like. Writing about something that I like would ensure that I have fun while working on my blog. So, I thought about a few ideas. My first idea was to actually make a blog based off of gaming, but I figured that I would run out of ideas fast. So at that point, I just wanted my blog to be something that could last long and something that I love doing. That's when it came to me, I love sports and I love talking about sports, so why not make that the topic for my blog? But when I first started, I didn't know what I was gonna write in my blogpost or how to construct them. I basically just took the words in my head and wrote stuff about sports. Although, I expected that creati
