A2 Media Studies Kate

Reflection - This month I have uploaded the question 3 from my evaluation. I have uploaded this by typing straight onto my blog. 

What have you learned from your audience feedback?  Throughout the process of making my final products I have made sure that I have received feedback from my friends and people of the age of my target audience. I have learnt a lot from my audience research. I have learnt what my audience look for in a product and who my target audience are going to be. From my initial research, I found out that my target audience were interested in narrative music videos but could not find many of them. Therefore, I wanted my music video to stand out and be something that they would watch. When making a product like this it is very important to keep in touch with what the audience want to make sure that they will watch and read it. In his theory Andrew Goodwin said that audiences preferred having visuals that fit together with the song. In my music video, I have used this when the song says, ‘as red as anger the sun will rise’ and the sun appears on the screen. This helps the

My AS Final Products could have been improved to make them more professional and better appeal to my primary and secondary target audience. When doing into AS I had no expense in using adobe photoshop or any other kind of editing tool and had to learn everything from scratch. I watched a lot of youtube tutorial videos to learn how to use the programme and this helped me a lot. I had also created a magazine front cover as part of the preliminary task which helped me when coming to make my final product as I had some sort of idea as to what I was doing. My time management was not the best last year which meant that i did not have enough time to complete my products to the most professional standard. With that in mind I went into A2 with different methods for time management and organised my time with a calendar as well as the time management aims and reflections I completed last year. My research in AS was not as specific and direct as it could of been so going into A2 I made sure that I
