Hello everyone. I would like to welcome you all back to today’s business meeting. For those who don’t know me, my name is Devin Gacita. My candidate number is 0709 and my center number is US154. 

This meeting will be focused on answering the compulsory question #3 that the higher-ups at Cambridge have sent down to me. The question asks “How did your production skills develop throughout this project.”. For this meeting, I put together a brief timeline of the improvement in my production skills. Alright, let's begin everyone.

When I started out, I had no clue what I was doing at all. To solve this, the first thing I did was start learning how to use programs like Canva to help me start putting my ideas into the real world. I did this all the way back on September 6th, but the skills have helped me up to this day.

Then, by September 17th, I had learned about camera shots and angles. This includes their effects on an image and a little bit of practice taking these shots. These would later help me when taking pictures for my magazines

Using the rudimentary and unrefined knowledge that I had, I decided to make a preliminary magazine on October 4th. This helped me learn what I needed to work on and served as good practice for the final magazine.

Having analyzed my preliminary magazine, I took the next couple of months to research any other conventions of magazines that I was missing. This included things like house style, magazine design, demographics, etc. This information would later help me to create a more professional product

.

By January, I was starting to do market surveys, trying to find what my target market would be.

Finally, in February, I devoted all my effort and attention to creating my final magazine product. By the 5th, I had finished work on my feature article and by the 28th, I had finished the entire magazine.

In conclusion, all of the things I did throughout my time in the media studies class were all in preparation for creating my final magazine. This preparation is what developed my production quality into what it is today. Initially, I started out not knowing how to use important and relevant software, namely Canva. After figuring out how to use Canva, I then started learning about things like camera shots. This research later continued and evolved into my research blogs. In these blogs, I focused on learning about all the conventions of magazine production, improving my production quality. Additionally, you can clearly see the development in my production skills by comparing my preliminary magazine to my final one. In my preliminary, there were many conventions missing as I hadn't done much research yet. By the end, my magazine can be seen having all the necessary conventions and appears much more aesthetically pleasing for consumers.

I hope that this meeting will help you all and I thank you for your time.
