- evaluation.

Question 1,
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?


Conventions are the main thing about media products, they are the most responsable and appealing things needed. Mastheads, subheadings and date lines are all conventions. My magazines genre is ocolourful/happy. The maazines that influence my media product are Vogue and NME, the reason for this is because my magazine, is very fashionable and full of interesting gossip for everyone.


Question 2,
How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The social group who would distribute my media product, would be apart of a su-culture. The sub-culture who would be influenced by my magazine, would be Indie/Fashion, because of all the gossip and fashion tips in my media product. I would also want a publisher who is well known, and also someone could trust, for example IPC. The reason for why i would chose IPC, is simply because they are well known and also very fashonable, due to the fact they publised NME. The disadvantages for using IPC would be, the competition thoughout another media products. I would have more of a chance of getting published with IPC because they don't have similar type of magazines.


Question 3,
What kind of media instituation might distribute your media product and why?

 The social group which would be influenced by my magazine would be female teenagers/young adults. Teenagers for example, is to show the that sterotype for teenagers in newspapers are not true. The advertising for my media product will provide me with a considerable percentage of my profit.


Question 4,
Who would be the audience for your media product?


The audience for my media product would be teenage girls, or young adults. Would also be girls who go to college or university, and who also has part-time jobs. Girls who are into fashion and gossip, and also girls who respect music magazines, and would be willing to buy them at any price. The reason for this is because my media product has a fashionable girl on the front page, this to make my target audience feel that this magazine is for them. Also, on my magazine cover, i have many subtitles, suggesting, different music lyrics which girls my age would know. The girls who are influcened by my magazine cover, would have to have a part-time job, so therefore they could catch up with all the different series of my media product.

Question 5,
How did you attract/address your audience?

I attracted my audience by, putting qoutations on my front page, saying things that response to music. Also, the model on my front page, is a very updated figure, where girls my age would look up to them. I did this, to make teenage girls buy and read my magazine. The quotations on my front page, would inspire girls who have a passion for music, and also read my magazine.

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

The technologies i have used in my media product are: Photoshop, Microsoft Word, Google Image Search and also different Magazines. The advartanges for using all these technologies are that the audience for my magazine will respect that, and start using them sites too, which would also cot money. The disadvantages would be relying on free internet applications like Blogger, Facebook and especially College Networks.

Question 7,
Looking back at your preliminary task (the college magazine task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

Whilst making my media product, i thought of loads of different types of maqazines i could do. However i thought it would be more relieble to do a make that intrests me personally. The reason for that, is because i can relate what teenagers my age think and feel about music. So therefore, i could learn about different types of ages and music magazines they are interested in. Thoughout, the work of making a media product, i also learnt that teenage girls, are our everyday sterotype. It has made me realise that us teenage girls, love to read all about gossip and fashion, and also looking at hot pictures of older lads. Overall, i enjoyed making this media product because i could realate to everyone elses and make a really good effective product.
