Evaluation

After the project deadline I will move onto constructing the evaluation of my project, which will consist of answering the questions shown in the previous post. This will need to be finished by 10th May.

Evaluation Questions

These are the questions that I will answer in the evaluation of my project:

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

2)      How does your media product represent particular social groups? (age/gender)

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

4)      Who would be the audience for your media product?

5)      How did you attract/ address your audience?

6)      What have you learnt about technologies from the process of producing this product? Skills developed, strengths and limitations

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

Project Deadline

The deadline for the project is the 30th April. My project is now nearly finished and I will be posting my finished pieces as well as the gradual progress that I made in the next couple of days.

Project Progress

By the end of next week I hope to have the actual project finished, so that I am then able to concentrate on the evaluation. That means that I need to finish the feature article, which is near to completion, and the contents page, which I have just started.

Contents plan #2

This is the contents that I decided to use as a style model, and the majority of the ideas I got for my contents plan have come from this.

Contents Plan

 

This is the plan for my contents page, obviously this is just a rough idea of what it will look like, but I have taken ideas on the layout from magazines such as NME and although this may not be of the same genre as the magazine that I am looking to produce I still found it useful for the layout that they have used.

Plan for week

The plan for the week is to get my feature article completed so that I can move onto the contents page for my music magazine, this will arguably be the most difficult part of the project. I have decided to leave the contents until last because I feel that it will be easier to complete now that I have a distinct house style after completing the front cover and the feature article.

Feature article - layout

I have now decided on the layout of my feature article. Since I am interviewing two different artists I have decided to have a four page article, so that I will have two pages dedicated to each artist. One will consist of a picture and the other the answers to the questions that they have been asked.

Feature article

I have now finished the first draft of my feature article which will be handed in to be marked, I will then make improvements to the piece where necessary before putting the final draft onto the feature article that will feature in my music magazine.
