MEDIA EVALUATION QUESTION 3
3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Wenner media would be my chosen distributor of my magazine, this company is well-known and distributes such magazines as Rolling stone, as this is my style model I thought that they would be interested in my magazine. The people who already buy magazines distributed by Wenner Media would then be interested in similar products.
I would advertise my magazine by using billboards, radio adverts, internet advertising and TV adverts. I would start with local advertising then once I had a recognised product I would increase the audience to national standards. This means that I would have a clear local audience who I could rely on to virally spread the product to friends and family, I can then begin to target a larger audience as it would be more recognised. I would create my own constituency just as Wenner Media managed to do.

MY MEDIA EVALUATION QUESTION 5
I asked this student as part of my initial research, once i had his feedback i then changed my magazine and asked him the same questions.
MY MEDIA EVALUATION QUESTION 7
7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Before the preliminary task I had no experience with taking photos or using Photoshop, therefore I found the task helpful as it allowed me to practice the basics of what I would need for my next project. I did find the deadline for the preliminary task didn’t give you enough time to prepare properly for the actual magazine task; I think it would’ve been more beneficial to look at double page spreads in more detail as that was my worst part of my magazine. I think if given a more varied range of magazines I could’ve chosen a magazine more suited to my own interests, instead I decided to research my own magazine instead of using a rock magazine, I found Rolling Stone which seemed o appeal to me more then those offered by school. When creating my actual magazine I used many skills that I acquired during my preliminary, I used the ’rule of thirds’ when directing my photos and also knew what type of shot would be good to use in relation to my page. I do not feel as though you can learn time management from doing a preliminary task, I feel that it is something that you just have to work around and keep in mind. I do not believe we are given enough time for the research, for example the week we were given to do 15 analyses. Overall I believe that the preliminary task helped develop the skills that I would need but we did not need to go into so much depth such as analysing the covers for 3 school magazines.
