Evaluation

In our lesson we have bee looking at the types of exams questions that we could be asked in the exam, also we have been looking at the 'Magazine Wonderwall' which is where you chose a few of the exam questions from the wall and then do some research on that question and then answer it.
Here are a few of the questions we may be asked:

- In what ways are magazines and webzines converging with apps and social networking facilities?

- What are ‘recommendation engines’?  How have, or how might ,magazines  make use of the web to make sure that their contents are what its  audience want?  How could they use the web to change  what they know about their audiences?

- Do magazines struggle to define and to find readers?  Has the way they identify them and target them changed?

-  How is the stated audience profile of your magazine reflected in the latest copy?

-  What magazine contents do you think are proving most popular?  What is in most demand?

Analysing Ethnicity

How is ethnicity represented in this extract?

When you watch the last few minutes of the clip, you start to gain sympathy for the Iraq fishes because you realise that she holidays been forced to help in the bombing and you start to think that this could be the reason why some are helping with the bombing. When you first watch the clip you dont feel sorry for the Iraq people at all but when you hear about what the British and American have been doing then you start to understand why they are doing what they are doing, you dont think it is right but you see there point. I do think that you feel sorry for her because she is a women and your upset because she lost her family so even though she doesnt want to do it she feels that she has a duty to her family.

Music Magazine (L)

After collecting a few pictures from my photo shoot, i had to create a music magazine. This magazine could be on any genre. i decided to do alturnative/rock. I had to create a front cover, contents and double page spread. I decided to call my magazine 'Eletric Feel' because its simple and to the point, eletric feel is a song and sung by different aritists from different genres showing that my magazine can apply to different types of people. Also for our main story on the front cover and double page spread we had to create a new artist. i decided to create a girlband named 'JukeBox Kidz', the point of their interview was that they have been a band and made it big but had just returned from a year out of the music world.

Front Cover

This is my front cover, i decided to use the colours white,black and red i thought they were simple and stood out. The picture on my front cover is a picture of my band, and also the name of the band and reason for them been on the magazine is the biggest headline on my magazine showing that they go together. i decided to keep the top of the magazine simple and thought i would put all my achor on the bottom right and left. For my achor i decided to use real life music news. As you can i see i used photoshop to create the different effects with my writing to make it look more realistic.

Contents Page

My contents page is alot different to my front cover, i decided to use grey instead of red so that it was more suttle, and didnt copy and have the same look as my front cover. In my contents pages i put in the news from my front cover and also did some research to see what else was happening in the music world to add to my contents. I used some pictures from my photo shoot, i decided to use ones that i thought would show the different techniques that we used when creating the photo shoot and using the redhead lights.

                                                       Double Page Spread

This is my double page spread. i decided to stick to the grey, black and white theme. I decided to create the effect of snapshot pictures so i decided to do this on the right had side, and use pictures of the the people in my band, and then at the bottom use some random photos that i could write comments about. Also to make my magazine seem more real i decided to use pull quotes of what i wrote in my article, i decided to do my article as an imformal interview.
