In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge form and conventions of real media products?
My media producted has used appropriate material in the magazine. The layout of the magazine I have used have been from other professional magazines to do with school. The topics are appropiate to do with the school. The target audience is obvious towards who it is as it clearly a school magazine towards the school students and parents. I took conventions from the real products like serperating the contents into a 3 column page. I have used appropiate contact details, header details and images.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My media products represents the school students of trinity and the parents of the students. Its more informal so it is easier for the students to read but also at the same gives the information that is needed. The contents page gives messages out to all the pupils of the school like the sports department and the children who are into the sports. The other children who are into charity raising and all the school when it comes to the non uniform and days off.
What kind of media institute might distribute your media product and why?
Media institutes like whatschoolnext.co.uk might use the magazine to show parents what kind of school it is. Also to show where the parents what the school looks like and where it is. It also gives them an idea of what the students get up to e.g. clubs to attend and competitions won. Online websites like the local councils might show and promote the school to give it an better reputation.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
My audience would be all the years of the school because the magazine is designed to keep all years up to date with what is going on with the school. The teachers of the school would be updated from the magazine along with the parents. So my main audiences for the media product is the children, teachers and parents.
How did you attract/address your audiences?
To attract the audiences I used information that will be useful to the children and catch their eyes. I used simple language and an easy font to read which was still big enough to get there attention. I used images taken by myself to attract the students to the sub titles in the contents page.
What have you learnt from about the technologies from the process of contributing this product?
For my school magazine I used in design for the first time. I had to teach myself how to use it. I found it alot more tricky and harder than photoshop. I learnt loads about in design I know how to get around the software I know how to make magazines. With the new skills ive learnt about it im sure that now if I was set an task to use in design again I could use it. I used photoshop aswell to edit my photos. Also I used blogger for the first time on this task which Ive found to be easy and nice to use.
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Since the prelim task I have learn that I need to do good research to be able to make an good end result. I need blog more of my research and show the stages off showing my research. Also I need to show approach my teachers twice an week to feed back. Ive learnt that also I should follow the marking scheme more and often look it to feel as if im ticking off the level 4 bullet points. Ive learnt that from prelim task that more thought and work should have gone into the work. Ive learnt that I need to more organised deffiently for next time. I need to organise taking photos and work that is going to go into the work. The prelim task has really been an eye opener to me. It proves to me that I can get the work done but if I put alot more effort in and organisation I could be capable of doing so much better work. The prelim task has taught me so much not only with new software ive used but also on what I need to do better.
