Production Diary

Week 4

This week in my Media class, we have started to focus on our main task, the production of our music magazine. We've had to start thinking about the research we need to undertake, in order to understand the audience we want to reach, as well as understand what people want to see inside magazines and what they're interested in. I have focused on my research by creating a questionnaire on 'SurveyMonkey.com', a website that allows you to create your own questionnaires and surveys. This is useful software, as it enables you to find out results for people taking part in the survey and retrieve quick data. I have also made prezi's to show my step-by-step plan to reach my final production, I have included a variety of ideas, what I am planning to do and how I am going to reach it, this will help me along the way, to check I have done everything I needed and wanted to, as well as help me with different ideas. Once I have obtained my research, I plan to start producing my flat plan and think about the type of theme I want to use, this includes the colour and font - I can do this by creating colour and font charts.
I have already figured out what genre I want to do, Cultural Music. I found it difficult to choose one genre of music, so I decided 'Why don't I do a variety?', this is how I reached the idea of cultural music, cultural music targets a big variety of demographics and include many different styles of music. This idea I feel is quite original and unique then a lot of magazines out there already.

This week I have also uploaded my two-page spread for my preliminary task of my school publication article, as well as this I have made a Voki talking about my progress so far during my coursework.
