Framing a shot, including and excluding elements as appropriate		The shot has been taken from a middle shot distance. Framed nicely and positioned well.
Using a variety of shot distances as appropriate		Use of many pictures, but pictures usually only contain the same person in the same clothes and with a guitar.
Shooting material appropriate to the task set			They have shot relevant material as they have included a guitar and instruments. This helps with the genre of the magazine.
Selecting mise-en-scene including colour, lighting, objects and setting			Again the use of guitar and instruments help. The lighting isn’t very varied; also the setting doesn’t change much.
Manipulating photographs as appropriate to the context for presentation, including cropping and resizing		There doesn’t seem to be much cropping and resizing involved as the pictures are mainly the same.
Accurately using language and register	The language used is not accurate at all and the register suits the genre of the magazine. There are continuous spelling mistakes and errors.
Appropriately integrating illustration and text		The text has been integrated well but the text doesn’t suit the genre of the magazine.
Showing understanding of conventions of layout and page design		The editor has laid out his page well. But the fonts are useable with the black background.
Showing awareness of the need for variety in fonts and text size	There is little to no variety of texts and fonts, the sizes do vary but no enough to notice. Overall not great.
Using ICT appropriately for the task set		ICT has been used to minimal effect and the use of effects and ICT editing is overall quite poor. They lack the skills to fully edit their work and it has shown.

MusicKing Magazine – Overall the Musicking magazine has taken a range of photos that work quite well, it is the editing and layout that let the magazine down, there has been a poor attempt made and it is obvious.
