Progress

Today I got question 2 finished which means I only have one more question to do then it will be complete and ready to be marked as a first draft. 

Today

Today I hope to get all my evaluation done, I will work on this in and outside of class. 

Evaluation Question 7

Looking at Theory

Uses and gratification from meenaislam

Example: Kony 2012 is an online video created by a group of activists aiming to have a Ugandan war criminal Joseph Kony brought to justice. Virtually overnight, the video and the campaign became a viral success. To generate exposure for their campaign, the activists enlisted the help of several celebrities – including actor George Clooney. The success of the campaign can be attributed to a number of factors – such as its slick production values and its use of social media – but the importance that these opinion leaders played in spreading this message through social networking sites can’t be overlooked.

Today I...

Today I added more to my evaluation however I need to continue working on this over the weekend as I still have a few questions left to do.

Evaluation Question 5

Evaluation Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

\

The previous attachments show my who I initial assumed would be my target audience for my magazine. During the course of the production, through research such as surveys and questionnaires, it is apparent that my assumed audience has stayed the same throughout. It is crucial for a magaine to identify their audience prior to production as they will be able to outline what to include in order to increase sale and interest. From my reader profile I know that it is more women than men that would buy my magazine therefore I chose to use a female figure on the front cover that they could relate to. I chose to put a 'fashionable' twist on the music magazine in order to give it an identity that sets it apart from the other magazines but also due to the gender majority of my audience. I also used my reader profile in order to focus on age related groups and include in my magazine what I believe are their interests. 

Todays Progress

Today I completed question three in my evaluation as well as uploading my first question. I feel both have went well so far but I could make odd improvements and will keep adding to them until I feel they are up to the correct standard. 

Evaluation Question 3

What kind of media institutions might distribute your media product and why?

(IPC Media)

(Bauer Media)

I would chose Bauer Media to publish my magazine as it operates in 15 countries world wide making it a hugely successful company. Their publish two of the most well known music magazines ; 'Q' and "Kerrang'. This highlights that they know a lot about the music industry and categorize their target audience successfully suiting one magazine, like Kerrang, to a younger audience and Q to a more sophisticated/mature audience. My aim was to create a sophisticated approach as Bauer do with Q but incorporate elements such as social media links in order to also attract a younger audience. They also work with big name artists as well as up and coming artists something I deem very important as I think it is almost crucial to introduce and showcase new artists just as much as successful artists not only to give them a chance but to attract new audiences henceforth more customers/buyers. They also own television channel 'The Box' and radio stations such as Kiss FM and Magic, this is a big media platform which could aid advertisement of my magazine.I would distribute my magazine in both shops but also release online issues to purchase making it not only highly accessible and convenient but up to date with the advancement of technology, henceforth appealing to a younger audience.  

Today...

Today I aim to finish question three, I am skipping question two as I am contemplating videoing my target audiences response to set questions as well as combining this with my original audience research. 

Evaluation Question 2

Evaluation Question 1

Progress for Today

Today I finished question one of my evaluation. I think it went well, I tried to include as much detail as I could constantly referring to audience and genre. 

Today's Tasks

Today I intend to finish question 1 of my evaluation. This may seem a small task as it is my second lesson working on it but I want to put a lot of detail into my evaluation in order to get the highest grade possible. 

Todays Progress

Today I have worked on my product, making any final touches and adjustments, I still need to work on my front cover and blend the background but after that I will be finished. 

Contents Page

Today I made updates on my contents page, I changed the fonts and made some alterations on sizes and layout. 

Today's Intentions:

Today I am going to work on my product and ensure that it is up to scratch with everything. If I finish this I will work on my evaluation.
