A2 Media Studies Kate

This presentation is for question 4 of the evaluation questions. This question asks about what different forms of media you used and how. 

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...

Aim: To complete the last two evaluation question that are looking back over my entire project. 

Reflection: This month I have managed to complete the first two evaluation questions using three different forms of media, iMovie, snapchat and screen recording. This has helped to give me a range of media products in my evaluation. I have also completed and uploaded research on different institutions that could produce my music video, digipak and magazine advert. These were record labels. To reflect on AS. 

This is question 2 for my evaluation of my main products. This question evaluates the effectiveness of both my main and ancillary tasks. 

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 researc...

This is question 1 of my evaluation. I have presented this question on snapchat. This question talks about how I used and challenged common codes and conventions of the rock genre as well as music videos, magazine adverts and digipaks. 

Aim: To complete reach into different music record labels/institutions.  Reflection: I have done a lot of research into the different music institutions and which I feel would be best suited to my music video. I feel that my music video will be best suited to the Universal Music Group as it best fits in with their current artists and music videos. 

Instituions music from Kate Jenkins This is my research into the different institutions that could professionally release my music video. I have made a decision that I feel that the Universal Music Group would be the best record label for my music video. 

This is my time plan for the month of March. This month I will begin my evaluation as well as reflect back on AS. 

Aim: To finish off any work that I haven't already completed and upload them to my blog. To complete the first two evaluation questions about my final product to reflect on how well my whole project went. To reflect on last year, AS, portfolio. 

Reflection: I have completed and uploaded both my main tasks and two ancillary tasks. I have received feedback from both primary and secondary target audience. I have received feedback from these people for all three of my products and have uploaded them to my blog. 

Aim: To finish and upload my music video, my magazine advert and my digipak.  Reflection: I have finished my music video ad uploaded it to my blog. I have also finished my magazine advert and got feedback on it from other within my primary target audience age. They have given me feedback and shown that it does appeal to my target audience. I have also uploaded my digipak and have received feedback on that. All of my products fit with the same theme of the war and all link together in this way. 

This is my final digipak for my music video. This will hold the CD which will have the song on it. It fits with the theme and colour scheme of the rest of my final products and features some of the same images. This helps the audience connect all three products in their minds. It is bold and stands out especially the spine as this is the first thing that the audience will see. It will appeal to my target audience because it is modern and simple. It will appeal to my primary target audience because it has modern features such as the layout of the pictures and the layout of the writing. It will appeal to my secondary target audience because It features pictures that they can relate to as well as the font being easy to read. For example to picture on the front cover is of an old news stand that would have been around in the war. This will remind my secondary target audience of their childhood.  Feedback...

This is my final magazine advert. I have included a picture of the soldier as well as pictures that can relate to the war. The name of the song and the artist as well as the release date is clearly stated on the magazine advert. This advert will appeal to my target audience because it features aspects that they both look for in a magazine advert. The writing is clear which will appeal to my secondary target audience. The pictures are also pictures that will mean something to them because they are things like an air raid shelter and trams. It will appeal to my primary target audience because it is bold and eye catching and is interesting because it includes more that one picture. This makes it not boring and therefore it will appeal to them.  Feedback  Luke Pacitti (17) - This magazine advert is brilliant. Everything about it will appeal to your target audience and anyone else who wants to read i...
