In what ways does your media product use ,develop or challenge

forms and conventions of real media products?

Although I wanted to make my magazine to be unique ,new and different , it needed to follow magazines conventions in order for it to sell as my chosen target audience would have certain expectations that my product would have certain expectations that my product would need to fulfill

Music magazine convention include :

A masthead , a main image and cover lines associate with the magazine

Interesting color scheme that creates an interesting and eye catching effects. Front covers

Chatty informal mode of address popular celebrities included as a selling point

The date of the issue with the price and a barcode .

Plus a professional looking photography

Are the things which I have help structure my magazine.

How does your media product represent particular social

groups?

Social groups are portrayed as stereotypes through media through media weather its on TV, radio or magazines. In my magazine I represent two different groups:

my product feature a young female musician that have made it to the top in a very less time

Young women my magazine features empowering young women and although magazine, in the pages I’ve have done the main attraction/attention was on the young female artist

Over all the group that my magazine represents would be the pop/rock girls.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media

product and why?

In order to be successful , magazine needs to be supported by a media/publishing institution to produce and distribute the magazine .

Institution such as emap , ipc/media ,Bauer produce hundreds of magazine radio and other media product.

Therefore they may be interested to distribute my type of magazine too.

Who would be the audience for your media work?

Aged 14-18

Pop/rock fans

Female

C2-e(social economic group)

Sensitive new age guys

How did you attract/address your audience?

Bright colors for the cover lines that would grab the attention.

Different use of effect for the main image

Big master head and a famous celebrity’s image that covers the full page

I chose the title shout out loud because it its representing how the this generation is standing out and showing their new talent in different forms

The main image pose is a very dreamy look as the main theme is a fairytale dream coming to life.

The text which I have used is very chatty and informal to make the audience have that lively effect as if it was the person her/his self taking to them

What have you learnt about technologies from the

process of constructing this product?

In this process I’ve learnt to use different technology for each aspect of this task.

Photoshop: to edit the pictures

Blogger: to post my work

Publisher: to do some of the final effect of the pages.

Microsoft word / PowerPoint : to type the text and in my cover page case to make the whole page

Digital camera : to take the pictures

Slide share :to upload the PowerPoint

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel

you have learnt in the progression from it to the full

product?

I have learnt to experiment with different color and effect.

Use to position the camera at different positions to get different angle.

The uses of lights to create different effect on the picture

As I have used the same model for both so we could actually see the new way I’ve experiment with the colours and effects
