Media Presentation
- What did you have to do and what was the purpose of the task?
The purpose of the task was to understand how the media and newspapers edit images to create headlines and how sometimes we may be decieved by what we read or see. Our task was to take a random image and crop it and give it a suitable headline.

- What have you learnt in terms of skills, key concepts and ideas etc...
The skills i learnt were how to use photoshop and how to crop which was very straightforward. I also learnt the skills of what to crop on a picture and how the media remove certain parts of a picture to fit a headline better or to expose someone/something.

- What would you do differently if you had the chance?
If i had the chance to do the task differently i would change the picture we used as we found it very limited and both our croppings were very similar. Also I would include a more punchier headline as in a newspaper a catchy or bolder headline usually gets us reading it.

- What lessons have you learnt in terms of pre-production / production; in other words, how will you be more efficient next time?
 Now we know how to use Photoshop and are more familiar with using the Macs, we will now get straight to photoshop and locate our files rather than wasting some valuable time we could've used to edit the photo.
