Here are some points put together to make my evaluation. These are only notes and my finished evaluation will be posted on my blog.

My final products are posted on the next slide

Top left – Front Cover

Top right – Contents Page

Bottom – Double Page Spread

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of

real media products?

Set out the way a normal ‘typical’

magazine would be with a big title and the other features

smaller

I didn’t always do it the conventional

way as some times I lay it out differently

I took ideas from mainly KERRANG

music magazine and I used the ideas and

created it as my own

I analysed covers and contents pages and

created my own using both conventional and unconventional ideas

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The colours used represents how the

audience feel and the attitude

The fonts are mainly blocked letters and

simple to suggest their into the same things if they are attracted to it

The person used on the front cover has a certain

image and if the audience is interested then it shows they are

socially similar

It separates social groups through age – because of the person

on the front and gender because rock is mainly a

male thing

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

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Mainly 16-20 year oldsAnyone interested in rock and maybe a bit of metal

Aiming it at people my age (17), and I am interested in simple but some thing with colour on – I thought my

preference would help

How did you attract/address your audience?

Using a picture of a 19 year old to show it was aimed at teenagers or

young adults

Used Guitar Hero 4 as my main feature

because my target audience would be

mostly attracted to it

If I used a picture of an older person it may not of attracted my target

audience

Advertising a lot of competitions and new

gigs & tours

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

How to use fireworks

which is one of the best

programs I've come across

How to use

different camera software

How to edit pictures in

many sorts of ways

How to use

blogger

Looking back to your preliminary task, what do you feel that you have learnt in the progression from it

to the full product?

Planning – desperately needed to keep improving

You need to plan to get peer feed back to make even better products

How to get particular shots with cameras

You need to experiment to get the best outcome
