Rough Points of Evaluation

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?- Prezi
Uses:

• Pugs
• Slogan/Tagline
• Large Masthead
• Barcode/important info. Etc.
• Range of shot types
• House Style and Synergy
• Self-Promotion

Development:

• Same artist throughout all 3 pages
• Recognisable artist logo on all 3 pages
• Specific colour scheme for artist- slightly different to magazine colour scheme o create synergy links

Challenging:

• Not exact same colour scheme throughout the pages- changes slightly on double page spread due to artist’s colour scheme
• Faded colour scheme- not bright and in-your-face like other magazines- understated rather than jumping out at you
• Needed to keep it original and different to reflect my audience and the overall genre

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?- Emaze presentation software

• Represents a younger social class- teens
• Trendy clothing- up to date topics
• Both male and female- mostly female
• Includes a female artist, male band and a mixed gender band
• All young
• Easy to follow, still sophisticated language use
• Both young and older people would be able to understand it

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?- Serif (mind map?)

• Most likely be sold in music stores such as HMV
• Lots of competition e.g. NME
• Very specific music genre- needs to be sold in a place where music fans can find it- not just a news agents or a supermarket
• HMV or an internet shop- perhaps even distributed digitally- keep up to date with current developments- audience specific

4. Who would be the audience of your media product?- Filming

• Aged 11-20
• Indie/alternative

5. How did you attract/address your audience?- incorporate in  Q4 filming

• Use of alternative artists- not ‘mainstream’
• Different colour scheme- use of a soft red and a pale yellow breaks traditional codes and conventions- rather than bright an in-your-face colours
• Banjo- unusual instrument, not traditional or popular

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

• Learnt how to use Serif and photo editing software
• Prezi, movie maker etc.
• Extremely helpful throughout the whole project

7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

• Huge improvements
• Looks more like a magazine than a poster
• Better use of technology and overall layout has improved
• Simply better than before
