Callum video response to my magazine
UPDATE:
This video is not uploading to my blog. I have used a lot of ways to try and upload it, such as:
- Blogger
- Youtube
- Vimeo
I will keep trying however it doesn't seem to be working.
There other two have uploaded without a problem.
[NEW UPDATE]
I uploaded that update about processing failure of my video response that Callum participated in.
With his help I was able to upload it to youtube even though it did take a considerable about of time.
[NEW UPDATE]
Magazine response: Charles Russell
I used a mac book to present my work. I showed Charlie my finished project and asked him a varied amount of questions.
Evaluation - quesiton 7
Question 7:
Looking back at your preliminary task what do you feel you
have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Looking back to the beginning of my project I can see a
massive difference in the way I work around media and how I think, – my
understanding of media and everything involved has changed. From this full
project I feel like I now know how to use many software’s on the computer more
accurately.
Within this project I have found an understanding for how
magazines are constructed and what is involved to create a professional looking
magazine. The content is also important when creating a good magazine so that
has to be taken into consideration.
From when I started this course I took pictures around the
school to put onto the mock exams and they were appalling. They were unclear,
wrong in more than way possible, they were atrocious. Now looking at when I
just started taking pictures for my front cover the angles, the
framing/positioning is 100% clear than when it was. Tees images are clear and
fit happily within in any magazine and that do seem the best.
Quesiton 6 continued
My blog: Using a blog has been new, exciting and different. To post information about your project via the internet is a new age idea and I believe that it is also a simple idea. It's better than all of this coursework with a trillion stacks of paper that the examiner has to mark.
I have found it easy to post - sometimes. There has been difficulties when trying to upload media like podcasts and other technical powerpoints because it could just take a while for it to load which is time consuming and sometimes; especially in my case, i'd upload something and it would not show up to any one else, which is very frustrating.
There is a schedule on the blog posts so if you have accidently missed something out, you can slip it in and it'll go along side the work you want.
I love working with Blogger. It's new and it presents your work so it looks like its efficient and when using all forms of media, it looks amazing.
Evaluation - Question 4
What would the audience be for your media product?
Audience profile:
Gender: Male/female
Age: 35-40+
class: middle class+
- this is due to the stereotype
of the high class enjoying more calm and relaxing classical music or the
stereotype that you must listen to classical music because its 'posh' and
that’s what rich people do.
Interests: sports, music, etc...
Disposable income for magazine: £5-£10
My ideal audience would be someone that could obviously
afford the magazine but appreciate everything within it, for example, in my
issues there is score paper that is given away free – score paper is not cheap
and is very resourceful to composers, it would be ideal for the reader to have
some connection with music. This could be in the form of a player or a
composer. Even if the reader didn’t have a clue about classical music but just
enjoyed it that still wouldn’t be a loss.
To find out this date I used open questionnaires mixed with a couple of closed questions.
Why did I do this?
- Open questionnaires measure the opinion of someone, this is good when you want a large number of varied results and this gives you insight into what the personal thinks about it as its their independent thought.
- Closed questionnaires are easier and faster...you normally just have to tick a box or something. This is to get a general understanding of what people think and it allows the process of grouping answers together quicker because there aren't answers that are personal ones - there is a set amount of questions and people have to choose from them.
