Question 4

How does your media product represent social groups?

Country music is mostly heard by adults in large range of age from about 20 years to 35 years old. So my magazine targets them, it has large targeted audience of both genders.It also targets late teens as my cover story is about a young artist.

The magazine also particularly targets farmers living in country sides. Mostly they hear country rock and also the one’s on road for their job.

Question 5

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

Distribution company is the company who distributes the products. If I want to distribute my magazine, I need to create a link with a distribution company who is responsible for releasing magazine to the public.I searched into British Distributors and found companies like Pineappple media and marketforce.Pineapple media is a distribution company that distributes magazines like Blues worldwide in 70 countries. My magazine is targeted worldwide; in Tokyo, London and Miami so I need a company that will distribute worldwide. So this company is best for me to distribute my magazine internationally and locally.

Question 6What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?I used Vaio processr i3 with windows 8 to make the project and installed adobe photoshop and adobe indesign to edit the work.We learned to use Microsoft powerpoint in order to update our work and record it, such as this evluation, reasearch and planning etc.I used social networking sites such as facebook to complete research.Cell phone’s camera was used take picture of storyboard on paper and upload it in presentation.I started shooting with DSLR D5100 with 18-55 mm lens, and shifted all pictures on laptop and used Adobe photoshop to edit cover page and contents sheet. I used adobe indesign to edit double spreadsheet to make a double page.All the work was uploaded on pinterest and facebook by Web 2.0 in order to get reviews.Prezi and slideshare was also used to present the presentation online.I have learned to use photoshop, indesign, camera, and web 2.0

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

Preliminary task Main task (foundation portfolio)I have improved a lot from

preliminary task to main task in production, shooting, editing and presenting. • Shooting: during shooting of

preliminary task I had no idea of lighting and what exactly to shoot. For main task first I made a storyboard or a sketch and then shot. This made me clear about what exact shots I wanted.

• Research: for prelimiary task I did research but didn’t record it. For main task I had all stored it in folders of my laptop.

• Editing: This is the main area where I improved. In preliminary task I had a little idea of layers but now I use them fully.

Use of plugs, buttons, tagline, Mast head etc were things I didn’t know why to use.The text came in front of my model but in main task I realised it was a bad idea which then I avoided. The use of different font and Online fonts was unfamiliar to me, research into similar projects made me improve.• I didn’t present my preliminary task properly but

now I know how to do so.This is how I improved.
